Zircon MultiScanner A250 All-in-One Stud Finder & Wall Scanner — Metal Detector + Live AC Wire Scanner with ACT, SpotLite Pointer & 4 Scan Modes

Works as described actually it’s a little better than I thought it was gonna be does a very good job of sensing.

This stud finder is pretty cool. It will show you the center of the stud as well as the edges of the stud, it will show you metal studs, it will show you electrical wires. I never knew how much I needed a stud finder until I bought this one. I had to hang a porch swing and I was going to have to either cut holes in the ceiling of the porch to find the porch rafters / Joists or just start blindly inserting screws until I hit a stud but this pinpointed the center of the ceiling joists on the porch and allowed me to easily find the correct place to insert the eye screws. It also showed me that the original place I had planned on hanging the swing was not possible because there are live wires attached to that ceiling joist. I think it is a great value and it saved me so much time. I have used it multiple times since I purchased it

It works, but it's not always spot-on. I often have to scan the same area more than once or double-check with another tool to confirm the results. For basic tasks, it's fine-but don't expect perfect accuracy evtime. Still a decent tool overall, just be prepared to verify your findings.

I seem to go through stud finders about every 5 years or so. They just seem to stop working well after some time. I usually buy the cheaper models, so I guess I should expect that. This Zircon is a step up from what I usually buy. There are a few things I like about this model (A200) and a few minor things I don't. The things I like are the accuracy when it finds a stud and the red light on center. The ability to show electrical is great. This is a new feature for me. One great feature is the battery indicator. I have found that stud finders are quite particular about having a fully charged strong battery in them. In the cheaper models you don’t know the battery is weakening and you start having problems or difficulties. Usually, a fresh strong battery is the solution. This one is no different. I installed a “new” battery but right away it showed it was low and the device has some operational issues. I found another new battery that was strong, and the device worked fine. Seeing the charge level of the battery is a great feature. The things I don't like are the size.... it is kind of large in my hand. Also, it is a little touchy with regard to finding studs, sometimes it reads falsely, you really need to go over a suspected stud a few times to make sure you have a stud. This is no different than others I have used. Also, this has a metal search, great for finding pipes and such. Overall, this is a good device for the money. I wish it was a little smaller and didn’t get false reading like it does from time to time but these are minor issues. Positives: • Nice large screen • Full featured, electrical, stud, metal scan • Battery monitor when low • Clear lighted indication of center of stud • Reasonable cost Negatives: • Rather large size in hand • Can get false reading sometimes. Honestly this is a good device. I think it could be made a little better, perhaps a rechargeable built in lithium battery instead of these 9 volts and a smaller more ergonomic design but again, this is a solid device that I expect years of service from, and my dislikes are pretty minor. Recommended 5 stars. This is my honest review of this item; I hope this it was helpful in your buying decision process.

Excellent! Takes some getting used to to be able to navigate within home wall interiors, but the LEDs work great and cameras are excellent. This device answered my questions without having to cut out the walls. ! 👍👍👍

Overall, the accuracy was decent enough that I was able to avoid wires and metal behind the wall when installing my TV mount. I did, however, have to do this several times because it didnt give the same result every time. For instance, I would be pushing it until it detected electrical wire. I would do it again starting from a different point and it didnt ping, but did show I was close to the electrical wire. So it was inconsistent with detection.

I needed a stud finder and choose this one because it supposedly finds multiple things in the wall. It works as described! I have used it successfully several times. It fits my hand well. It's easy to use. It's easy to read. I'm very comfortable with this product and recommend it.

I bought this to replace my previous Zircon stud finder that I had for about 30 years before it gave up the ghost. This one does about the same thing, but has more bells and whistles, such as showing the center of a stud rather than scanning back and forth. It also seems to be able to find things deeper and more accurately than the old one. I see a lot of comments on this and other stud finders about the need to calibrate, or the unit does not always detect the studs correctly. "Calibration" is what the stud finder MUST do to be able to detect things behind the wall. This sets a basis for the unit to know what the "normal" wall looks like: how deep the Sheetrock/wall material is, how dense it is, etc., so it can detect changes to this. If you don't let the unit calibrate, it WILL NOT WORK! To "calibrate" simply hold the unit against the wall and push the button until the unit beeps. 2-3 seconds, then scan while holding the button down.
