Got any favorites? Just for hanging pictures, the occasional TV mount and such. | ||

I just bought a "Walabot". It doesn't work with an iPhone, but I thought it might work with my Android tablet... It doesn't. I pad $50 for it on Amazon, I'll sell it to you for $40 shipped, or offer me something in trade. Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia.

I tried it out with my wife's old Android and it worked well, but not well enough to keep her phone turned on. Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia. NRA Range Safety Officer NRA Certified Instructor - Pistol / Personal Protection Inside the Home | |||

If just basic Sheetrock or dry wall, a simple model at HD or Lowe’s is sufficient. Trickier though if dealing with old plaster & lathing. For the latter, I first try to locate an existing, known stud (ie based on placement of an outlet, screw locations in a cabinet, door framing) and then estimate the next logical stud. Then test with a small nail. | |||

Almost as Fast as a Speeding Bullet |
I have a number of stud finders and all have worked reasonably well. The one I grab for first though is a simple magnet in a plastic housing similar to bendable's. It latches on to the nails or screws and after I locate 2-3 of them on a vertical, I have yet to miss a stud. My fancy finder also locates wires and things like that, but for simple frequent usage, I like the magnet.  ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . .

I have found my mirror finds all the stud it needs...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

All I ever use is a magnet. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I have had an inexpensive Zircon brand one from one of the big box stores for 10 years. I've probably used it 50 times and never had a problem (always drywall, not plaster). For hanging pictures, I don't think there's any reason to use one, though. Ook brand drywall hooks work great. They have them rated up to 100 pounds per hook and you can use two. | |||

I just use my flashlight or knuckles. I don't trust any of those devices. The magnet ones are good too. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

All I have ever used was a Zircon brand in a yellow housing. Worked well for me. | |||

I've used the Franklin posted above and it works well. Don't buy this thing from Bosch, I have one and it's a POS. Completely useless. https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod..._title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |||

Every stud finder I've tried overloads and blows up when I point it at myself. | |||

Yep. But I have a slightly different model. Link I also have a Zircon but much prefer the Franklin. Collecting dust. | |||
