Product Information

High-Power Magnetic Stud Finder

If you think all magnetic stud finders are the same, think again. This high power, no-batteries-required stud finder uses two super high strength, high tech neo-dydium magnets instead of the wimpy little permanent magnets used in most magnetic stud finders. The result is a tool that will reliably find a drywall screw or nail (or even a steel stud) quickly, and then hold itself to the wall, making it easy to keep stud locations obvious. This finder is so powerful that when I placed it on my desk, it quickly repositioned itself over the metal drawer slide underneath the 1-inch thick top! Made in China.

          I have used an infa red stud finder and always had trouble finding the exact location of a stud. This makes it easier.

            Comments about Stud 4 Sure:

            My exterior walls consist of sheet rock against foil-backed, 3/4" rigid insulation, against 2x6 studs. Electronic stud finders are foiled by the foil and cannot find the fasteners.

            This neat little baby FINDS those fasteners and stays on the wall while I answer a phone call. I just go back to it, mark the location and continue finding others. I gave two others as gifts because I liked it so much.

            I store it against the outside of my steel tool chest because it sticks hard to it. I just slide it off the cabinet corner when I need it.
