Works well with a *fresh* battery, going carefully and double-checking. Some ceilings and walls are complex with double drywall layer. Deep Scan helps a lot in these cases. It can still be tricky with old construction where wall internals are messy and modified over time, so go slowly and re-check many times. Tried the basic electronic Zircon model on my ceiling, and it was an exercise in frustration--did not find the studs I was looking for. This model has the added benefit of multiple indicators helping you guess the location of deeper studs. Specifically the signal strength indicator shows how far in it thinks the stud is, and in combination with the stud edge and center indicators it does work. Not every pass will be successful for double-drywall deep studs, but if you go carefully and re-check many times, mark the potential spots in memory (and if needed on thin painter's tape), eventually you will see a good pattern. I finally found a stud in the ceiling and was able to screw in a projector mount into it. It was quite far up, just over 2 layers of drywall, so I'm happy this scanner was able to find it.Read full review

I've used better ones so this one is just average in my opinion. One second it detects a beam and the next time you go by the same area, no beam... i might as well just guess on my own...

This is an excellent tool for finding studs both in sheetrock and paneled walls. My paneling in 7/8 inch pine and it works reliably through that thickness. It finds not only the center of the stud but also the two edges, and indicates them both with the unit's display screen as well as an arrow projected on the wall. It works intuitively and conveniently, and although there were no original packaging or instructions as delivered, instructions are available online. This was allegedly used in some way previously, but showed no real sign of handling or use. This tool finds live wires in the wall, and they claim it will find electrical conduit and plumbing as well; I don't doubt the claim but have not used it yet for those purposes. I used an older Zircon at work and liked it well, but this is a far superior tool. So far, I haven't found anything negative at all to report and thus I highly recommend this stud finder as a great tool and a great value.Read full review

first run scanner/sensor that still works great but just wanted to treat myself to a new one after 50 years! With all the bells and whistles such as lighted display. Alan

It does the job it's supposed to, never used one of these before, so nothing to compare it to. It's not that clear or quick, but it does the job!
