  • Works Every Time!
I was initially hesitant to purchase this product after hearing negative things about electronic stud-sensors from my father-in-law and my handyman. Their advice was to go the old tried and true methods of tapping on the wall or using a finishing screw to confirm the location of a stud - both not an exact science either. I spent the past weekend hanging various pictures, artwork, mirrors and other objects in my home after some recent remodeling work and I am THRILLED with the performance of the Zircon StudSensor e50! I can't say enough how well this product works! The unit is super-easy to use and features a ergonomic grip with the power button recessed where you thumb will go. The unit automatically shuts off when the power button isn't depressed, saving battery-life. The onscreen indicator is virtually fool-proof and indicates the edge and center of a stud based on the completeness of the onscreen triangle. After finding center-stud the unit activates a small arrow-shaped laser indicating where to make your mark. Perfectly easy to use. I'm happy to say that this sensor even saved me from a costly rookie mistake. I was planning on hanging a heavy mirror in my master bedroom and completely forgot that a pocket door was on the same wall. I kept scanning for a stud and I was receiving strange readings from the sensor. After initially thinking the sensor was malfunctioning I realized my mistake, thankfully before any drilling or nailing had taken place. This stud sensor is now a permanent part of my toolbox. Recommended! ... show more

  • Works perfectly through standard drywall
I experimented by using the e50 through areas with known studs, and it detected them 100% of the time. The only time the e50 gave sporadic results was if I calibrated it initially in front of a stud or object behind the drywall. Then it would start producing erratic results. The LCD display and LED red arrow make it very easy to use, much more so than my dad's ancient 1980s stud finder with an analog calibration wheel and a series of LED indicators. The e50 uses a 9V battery and the battery actually just slides into the contacts without relying on those annoying connector tabs designed for 9V batteries. Overall: 5/5 stars, works reliably - just make sure you are calibrating it in a empty spot otherwise it will produce erratic results - I know this isn't the easiest thing to do, after all it is supposed to find the studs. ... show more

  • works ... most of the time
The media could not be loaded. It works and it doesn't. I guess it works MOST of the time. The first time I used it, I used it to put up a towel bar and it did the job PERFECTLY. As seen in my video, I managed to get the towel bar up, directly in two studs and no extra mis-holes. I even mounted it level. Yay me! My next project was a large metal rack to hold nail polish. This stud finder kept saying there was a stud where there was not. I ended up drilling 3 holes before giving up and mounting my second screw close to the door frame where I knew there had to be a stud. This was disappointing to me, because we live in a manufactured home and the sheet rock has a pattern in it and it is is not easy to just spackle and mud over. Normally, I do not even put holes in it ... I use 3M Command nails, but for some weight bearing items, I mount them directly into the studs. Thankfully, with my mount, I mounted the nail polish rack over the 3 extra holes, so I will not need to worry about it, unless we sell. Thus ... this sensor works, but I would check, double check, knock on the wall and still be prepared to fail. I have not actually had a stud finder that was 100% ever in my life. Takes one 9V battery not included. Lightweight and fits well into my hands. ... show more

  • It found some studs!
It found some studs! This unit for the price amazed me. It does a great job of locating studs. You can even trace out with the red laser each edge of the stud so you know exactly where the center is. I am sure the strength meter is suppose to do that, but that is useless. It goes from nothing to full in 1/8 of an inch when you hit the edge of the stud. But if you know what you are doing you will realize it is not needed anyway. DEEP Scan? Well that one is not a 10 out of 10. If you are hanging light tag board and want to scan through it, it works great, but if you have lathe, move on and find a better unit, this is not the one. But That is not an issue for me, so this gets 5 stars! ... show more

  • Works, IF you're aware of this limitation...
This thing works well, as long as you're aware that the sensor is not shielded at all from objects on your side of the wall. This means that, say, if you're working in a cramped space, or awkward position, or even standing too close, and your face or hand gets too close to the back of the sensor, you can get false readings. Or if it's initialized with something close to the back of the sensor, which is then taken away, it might fail to find anything in the wall. Once I'd figured that out, it worked well... but frustrating that you have to be so careful with it. Is there no way to add some sort of shielding on the side of the device away from the wall??? And do other devices have this same problem? To illustrate, imagine the device is extended to your right, then you drag it left towards your body... if your body/head/cat/moose gets too close, it can set off the detector, giving you a false reading. Or try with a pencil... initialize the device against a wall, then bring a pencil close to the back of the device; for me, it triggers when the pencil is an inch or two from the back... I'm pretty sure I'm not Magneto, and that this same thing must be happening for others... ... show more
