Unbelievable! 9 Feb 2009
Am I the only person to have read the instructions properly?
Calibrate the sensor whilst it is on a wall. Unless you have unluckily placed it directly above a stud, it will work as it says on the tin. Mine worked first time.

Completely useless 27 May 2007
As other reviewers have found, this detector is useless for finding studs behind walls - it's sensor continuously sounds whenever the detector is anywhere near a wall! Its metal detector is also poor - I have a very cheap detector for metal and wiring which is far superior to this. Avoid this at all costs!

Useless 29 Aug 2006
Only works with 9mm plasterboard - with 12mm or even 9mm with a skim coat, just forget it!

Cable/pipe detector.
Seems to work reasonably well when I tested it although the sensitivity setting is not that easy to set optimally.
Have yet to use the device in anger.

Very limited use
As somebody said, if you're just scanning a 9mm boarded stud wall then it's reasonably accurate but anything thicker than this is erratic and imprecise. Read more

Very Good Product
I was a bit unsure if this product would work, as I have tried other products.
It took a little while to understand how you have to get it to work. Read more

I have to agree
Was adequate at finding metal behind thin plasterboard, but simply unusable when it comes to detecting studwork. A product that does NOT do what it says on the tin!

Almost useless
The wire and pipe detector part seems to pick up studing, but seemingly not wire and pipe (tested known locations).
The stud detector part doesn't work stably. Read more
