Works Better InReal-World Conditions
Most stud finders workvery well on show-floor display on a perfectly flat piece of sheet rock, withno texturing or difficult wall paper, with perfectly even paint, and withperfectly flat plaster work. However, the same stud finders can become confusedwhen faced with real-world construction irregularities. Conventional studfinders become confused because they are only able to see the wall in oneposition at a time. A small irregularity at one position can cause a slighterror, or a big error. Fortunately, the ProFinder 5000+is much lessvulnerable to construction irregularities because it is able to see the wall inmultiple locations at one time. It uses readings from several points on thewall to determine what is behind the surface of the wall. The ProFinder5000+forms an image of the wall based upon many readings, which is one ofthe reasons that the ProFinder 5000+ is the most accurate stud finder on themarket.
Ability to DetectMultiple Objects Simultaneously
Studs in a typicallyhome are 16 apart, and normally you can expect studs to be 16 apart. However,there are many instances where standard 16 stud spacing doesn\'t happen. Thisoccurs frequently around doors, near windows, at corners, or when extra supportis needed, such as below a stairway. Around these architectural features it canbe difficult to determine what wood is behind the sheetrock if you are using aconventional electronic stud finder. The ProFinder 5000+makes it easy todetermine what is behind the sheetrock, even if there are multiple objects ofdifferent sizes and widths. The LEDs on the ProFinder 5000+ illuminate in frontof all hidden objects, making identification easy.
Ability to IdentifyWidth
The ProFinder 5000+ isthe perfect tool to identify the width of hidden objects. The ProFinder 5000+illuminates all LEDs that are in front of a hidden object, so the user onlyneeds to notice how many LEDs are illuminated to know the width what is behindthe wall.
Deep Scanning
Most homes are builtwith sheetrock that is between 3/8 thick and 5/8 thick, and most stud finderswill operate with these standard sheetrock thicknesses. However more and morehomes are being built with two layers of sheetrock in select rooms. The secondlayer of sheetrock may be used, for example, to keep a bedroom quieter, or toline the walls of a theatre room. The ProFinder 5000+ has the best performanceof any stud finder through thick surfaces and it has the best deep scanningcapabilities of any available stud finder.
Ability to InstantlyDetect
Conventional electronicstud finders require the user to slide the finder back and forth across thewall until the finder learns the wall. For some finders it may take multipleswipes until the finder becomes tuned into the wall and can detect accurately.Also, some conventional electronic finders don’t work well unless the finderwas initiated at least 3 away from a stud. This means is that if you place thefinder on the wall over a stud, and press the button, you’ll have greatdifficulty detecting the stud, unless you reinitiate the sequence from analternative location. The ProFinder 5000+ doesn’t suffer from any of theseproblems. Place the ProFinder 5000+ on the wall in any location, press thebutton, and you will instantly see the location of any hidden objects. TheProFinder 5000+ instantly self-tunes to the wall, without sliding, and itinstantly shows the location of any hidden objects.
NEW! Additional PLUSFeatures for Convenience/Functionality
With this new\"PLUS\" model of the original Profinder 5000, a bubble level and rulerhave been built in to the unit (as shown in photos above), to assist withleveling, picture hanging, measuring and more while using the stud finder.
