Finds screws and nails in walls very easy strong magnet

Simply put it doesn’t work. Have lath and plaster walls and tried every wall in the house thoroughly and it hasn’t detected one stud nail

It does not detect a stud of course, just the nails or screws. not great for any depth but it sure has it's uses.

I have at least 5 digital detectors. all initially seemed to work, for them all to give false readings, or need calibrating endlessly. this shows them all up. no false readings, if it "pops" your on a screw and hence stud. take a second to find your first fixing, slow circular motions across the wall/ceiling till you get one. then you can drastically speed it up by measuring 400 odd mm to where the next joist should be, and once you've found the orientation of the ceiling, length or width your away. walls cant be more straightforward, just double check for braces between the studs. I also bought a pack of plain 20mm magnets, so when i hit a "pop" i place a magnet on it and move on. more accurate than insulation tape, and no marks from a pencil. in no time I have an accurate "map" of the woodwork in a ceiling to be able to measure and space spotlights. you have no idea how often an old ceiling joist is curved, so i get the first few lights in fine, to hit dead on towards the end of the kitchen. with this I spend 10mins mapping the ceiling, with no visible marks, and its saved me all kinds of dramas. I'd often have a digital "detector" work fine for a few feet, then go out of calibration, not detecting anything at the 400 centre mark. I guess the old ways really are the best

Le principe est plutôt génial et l’aimant est assez puissant pour détecter derrière un BA13

Este utensilio va genial para detectar los perfiles lo recomiendo 100%

Works as described

This small gadget is a fantastic addition to my toolbox. Cheap and effective with no batteries needed. It detected the studs through thick 80 year old plaster and the wall was too thick for it to stay in place, but it worked very well for drywall.

I have an old house (1895) with drywall over lathe and plaster in many areas. I did buy an electronic stud finder but ended up reading that they may not work well with lathe and plaster (so I figured it would be even worse with drywall on top). So I started looking for other options and saw this one recommended on several websites. It works perfectly. And it’s super strong that it can actually stay stuck to the wall. I appreciate that you can feel the magnet pulling towards a nail while also seeing the middle portion straighten out as you get closer to a nail/screw. I have used electronic ones in the past without much success so I really do much prefer this one. The only catch is that it’s smaller than I expected - smaller than a golf ball. So I am worried about losing it. But it’s affordable and works so well, so it makes up for it. Definitely recommend!
