Read the directions, people!

I bought this studfinder because it was cheap and works for my needs, which is basically hanging pictures. This tool should actually be called a nailfinder because after reading the directions, it indicates that the stud is found by magnetically locating the nails which attach the drywall to the stud. So that means there may not be a nail right where you want a hole, but with a little patience, you can find a nail either above or below and use a level to indicate where you should pound to hit the stud. Pretty simple actually, IF YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!

Not satisfactory
Not accurate. I drilled holes to find that there was NO stud where it said there WAS. I could’ve guessed just as easily. It also left black marks on the walls from the felt pads on back of product. Don’t waste your money!
