Low-Tech Excellence CH Hanson 03040 Stud 4 Review

As a very handy guy, I have always relied on the tried and true knocking trick to locate studs behind the wall and then approximate their center. But when the time came to mount over 100 lbs on the wall (50 inch plasma TV and surround bar speaker with an Omnimount cantilever mount) I didn't want to take any chances.

I ordered this on Amazon figuring if it didn't work I'd just return it. To my astonishment it worked like a charm. It literally sticks to the wall (without your help) when it magnetically connects with a nail (which are typically driven directly into the middle of a stud behind your wall). Using the embedded level (which was a genius addition) you can mark a point directly beneath the located nail.

To be certain the nails were lined up, I would find a few up and down a given stud using this tool and then use my longer level to make sure they were all in the same place. After a few minutes, I was very confident that I had the center and I proceeded to drill the holes into the wall.

This product will definitely impress you. It's incredibly strong and accurate and its very small and easy to use. I highly recommend this tool and urge you to try it so that you can see how great it is too. You will not be disappointed. Don't waste any money on electric or expensive stud finders until you try this. If you've always used the knocking method than this will only make life easier because the tool stays on the wall which makes marking very easy. nyone who has used a stud finder has undoubtably been sadly dissapointed with its results. They never work consistently or otherwise. If I am going to drill a hole into a wall, I need to know I am going into a stud for sure.
This stud finder cut out all the techno bs and went to the basics by just relying on magnets to find the screw and/or nail heads. The magnets are extremly strong and will locate the screws through ceramic porcelain tile, stainless steel, and more. I bought 8 units for all of my commercial kitchen installers and couldn't be happier.

I have had 3 other stud finders in the last ten years. none of them was as good as this one although it was the least expensive of them. The last one I had cost 3 times as much but I threw it away because it was wrong in finding studs about 50 % of the time. there were no studs where it indicated there were. . This one was right about 95 % of the time and saved me a lot of time and has proven very reliable. I would highly recommend it for every tool box.
