Tools and Hardware Reviews of CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder
Customer Review: The last studfinder you will ever need
Summary: 5 Stars
For me the most frustrating issue with an electronic studfinder is the inconsistency--if you try the same reading the second time, the result is just slightly off, ditto for the third time, the fourth and so on. No so with Stud-4-sure! If you move this stud-finding candy-bar ever so slightly over the right area, it will practically pull out of your hand and snap over the nail head, with 100% reproducibility. This gizmo does only one thing, and it does it very well. If you're looking for flashing lights, pretty display, or secondary functions, this is not for you. But if you need something that does what it's supposed to do--as well as or better than anything else--then you've just found it.Customer Review: Best Studfinder EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
If I could give this six stars, I would. This little tool is very cheap but does the job better than very expensive electronic stud finders - it works a different way!
This stud finder has magnets on it, really powerful little ones. It finds the nails that were driven into your studs when the house was built, with perfect ease.
The first time I used it, I took it out of the packaging, ran it over my wall where i needed to drill, and found the stud in about 12 seconds. Best part about it - it sticks to the wall where the stud is so you can mark it without holding the stud finder!
Don't bother with a Zircon. At all. Just buy this, you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: A good companion to an electronic finder
Summary: 4 Stars
So I have a cheaper electronic stud finder that I've been using for awhile and decided to try this out... What the heck, it's only 10 bucks, right? After trying it out around the house, I found this finder will work good for smaller projects, hanging pictures, ect. The slight problem I see by using this finder is that you're relying on the person who put that screw or nail in has got it centered in the stud. For applications where strength can be more of an issue (such as hanging a TV), I have more peace of mind using an electronic finder to find the edges of the stud. I see myself using this to hang a quick picture, but for anything heavy, I'll stick with the electronic finders.Customer Review: Low-Tech Excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried a number of electronic stud finders and been uniformly disappointed. This simple device does one thing and does it well: it finds the metal screws (or nails) used to attach the drywall to the studs. It's simple, fast and unambiguous: The magnet is powerful enough to hold the finder to the wall over a screw.
There are caveats: It'll find any random screw, nail or other piece of metal in your wall; It assumes that the person who installed the drywall actually hit the stud; It won't detect conduit, wires or electricity. That said, it's easy enough to mark 2 or more screws and confirm they're in a vertical line before driving your own screw or nail.
Customer Review: I found a Stud!
Summary: 5 Stars
So, what do I have to say about this product? Since there are already 212 customer reviews on this product and some of the reviews are done by pros.
Well, let me begin by saying that I am not a Pro; but I am a 'Jack of all Trades;' like many of you out there who say's 'I can fix that.'
The CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder should be a tool that should become part of every toolbox. I have owned a couple electronic stud-finders and often they have failed me.
There is no failing with CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder; you can be rest assured that you will find a 'stud' every time.
Invest in one of these and you will not go wrong.
