I've wall mounted three large HDTV's with the help of this little thing! About ten guitars too, this stud finder works for me. These are powerful little neodymium magnets, if someone has a pacemaker I'd probably caution against them personally using this as neodymium magnets are said to possibly interfere with pacemakers.
Rating: - It's simple and it works !
No stupid batteries to replace !! It works and it's small, it fits in the palm of my hand. I cant find any flaws with this product. Great for the homeowner !
Rating: - What's with amazon's price for this item?
I like this simple, effective studfinder as much as anyone (though I wish they'd make a 'super' model that had more/larger magnets that was even stronger) but what's with amazon's price for this item?
It can be readily had for well below half the asking price at your local giant home supplies store...
Rating: - The Last Stud Finder You'll Buy
I can't really add anything to the other reviews, just wanted to register my vote for this astonishingly clever little gadget. You might be able to build something like it yourself with rare-earth magnets, but by the time you added a built-in level and durable case, it would have made more sense to just buy this.
Rating: - Didn't work
We were super excited to buy this stud finder, because like most reviewers, we have lath and plaster walls. Unfortunately, this just did not work for us. Not sure why our lath and plaster is different, but it only stuck to one place...and I know we have more nails that that. Just not a sure thing.
