Franklin Sensors ProSensor M210 Stud Finder with 13-Sensors, Wood & Metal Stud Detector/Wall Scanner, Live Wire Detection

It works brilliantly.Push it against the ceiing, it moves smoothly, even over artex and eventually using the leds you will line up the joist in the centre to be marked.well worth the money.

I bought this after moving into my first house for DIY use. I've used sensors in the past but they're a bit vague and require calibration, very hard to trust the results as they're always somewhat random.This equipment is great, as it displays real-time studs and their exact positions along the top. It would be nice to have some more details, but it's obvious enough I feel if it's a stud or a pipe. Pipes tend to be inconsistent whereas studs stay solid. The electricity detection seems accurate also, though you should use due diligence so as to not hit wires adjacent to studs.I think I will be using a combination of this and a secondary detector (to try determine materials and double-check pipe/cable positions) in the future, but I have used this many times and always hit studs directly.

I don't think any are superior. I had a Bosch, very expensive but this is easier to use and just as accurate for a quarter of the price. Anyone can use this, it's a dream. Even been able to detect totally unknown pipes.

Usefull gadged the accuracy depends on walls type - bricks, dry, wood.

Pure dead brilliant. A great choice I’d say. A+++++

Never normally leave reviews but felt compelled by this product.After struggling with both name brand and off-brand products to locate wooden studs in a plasterboard wall (without spending £300), it was refreshing to find that this product actually works! Head great repeatability and precision right out of the box and is very easy to use.Disclaimer: haven’t tried it on wires/pipes but there are plenty of other products out there that seem to work for that. This is a must-have for wood. Description says that depth is limited - haven’t tested on thicker substrates but works perfectly on plasterboard.

A lot more money than I would have liked to pay but it’s the only one that works. I have tried loads of name brands and several others through Amazon but none of them worked when tested.

I spotted this on a YouTube video where a guy was fitting a kitchen. The speed and effectiveness were plain to see and clearly not staged. So I thought, try it and see (the one distinct advantage on Amazon - if it's not as described, send it back).This is staying! I took it my test wall, where I know studs are already in one part of the property, and when I came to locate other studs in other walls, the results were 100% positive every time. No relying on magnets to go screw-finding or potentially drilling hidden copper pipes or electric points. Sorted!Would you recommend this? To tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts, 100% yes.Value for money? In terms of saving time and not getting false positives, most definitely..
