Simple but works
No batteries, no screen—just a strong magnet that finds screws or nails in studs. It’s basic but effective if you know what you’re doing. Worked well on plasterboard walls. Cheap, no fuss, and does the job.

So simple, so effective.
The media could not be loaded. I needed to hang a heavy mirror on a plasterboard hollow wall, so I definitely needed to find the studs.This little gadget worked perfectly - as soon as it finds a nail or a screw in the stud, the magnet firmly grabs it.So much easier than my usual way of tapping the wall, drilling pilot holes, and pretty much hoping for the best! :DI definitely recommend this stud finder.

Simple but effective
Having spent ages using an electronic gizmo trying to find studs in a drywall, it suddenly dawned on me that the insulation behind the plaster is wrapped in foil. Turns out aluminium seriously messes with the accuracy of these type of detectors.So, I decided to give this little device a try. It's just a couple of strongish magnets wrapped in a neat bit of plastic. So simple and, as it turned out, so effective.Some kind of storage case or box would have been nice, especially for the price. Hence the reason only 4 stars.

Stud finder
Makes it a simple task to find studs in a partition wall. Such a strong magnet, it soon latches on to any nails or screws, telling you where the studs are. Simple but very effective.

Better than a magnet
Good little device. I have used it a few times now. I found it to be better than using a magnet. I store mine by sticking it to the stud wall in my spare bedroom so I don't lose it.

A bit limited
This might work with plasterboard but it was pretty useless for thicker materials like MDF and wood, even relatively thin. It wouldn't find any kind of metal fixings - mails screws etc - in those. Might have some limited uses but it doesn't really live up to its claims.

Stud hunt no more
Love the stud buddy! After spending an age knocking on walls and chapping in nails with no success in finding a stud, I managed to locate a stud in under 30 seconds with the stud buddy. It's a great tool!

Perfect for the job
Currently doing a lot of work in the house, and had been using the old knocking technique to find the studs, however, decided to try and become a bit more accurate after this technique failed me a couple of times.I tried this, after seeing some good reviews, and it has been spot on. The magnet is strong, and find any nail / screw that has been used on the stud.I would say the price is a little high. It would have been nice to get a couple of these for the same price as one. I may keep my ear to the ground for any sales / discounts in the future.To get around this for now, I bought some cheap circular magnets. I now use this to find the stud, then attach cheap magnet to that spot. This way, I can draw out the studs with the smaller magnets.I would definitely recommend this product though
