Stud Finder Wall Scanner - 5-in-1 Stud Finder Tool for Wood, Metal, Stud, Joist, Tube, AC Wire Inspection

Whether you're hanging pictures, putting up new shelves, or starting an addition, knowing where the studs are in a wall can be extremely helpful. A good stud finder can make the difference between a successful DIY home project and a disaster. That's why a stud finder is an important tool.

The FOLAI stud finder uses UPGRADED SMART SENSORS that can sense changes in density behind the wall and locate the center of studs with GREAT ACCURACY. This means you won't have to worry about drilling multiple error holes in the wall when mounting a TV bracket, shelf unit, or even a set of coat hooks on drywall.

The wall detector features a large LCD display, an ergonomic design, and multi-sense technology for accurate detection of both metal and wooden studs. It can also detect live wiring up to two inches into walls. The four scanning modes (stud scan, deep scan, metal scan, and AC scan) make it suitable for both tradesmen and home DIYers. With this device, you can immediately find a suitable place on the wall without making any extra holes.

The stud locator has three stud scan modes. The Deep Scan Mode can scan through two layers of drywall up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep. The DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in the 0.5-inch or 1-inch StudScan Mode first.

After detecting the center of an object, use the Metal Scan mode to determine if the reading in Stud Scan mode was a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe. The FOLAI wall detector can locate metal studs in StudScan mode, DeepScan mode, and Metal Scan Modes, as it is looking for a change in density behind the drywall, not a particular material.

The Wire Warning detection feature indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep. For safety, in all modes, this wall scanner always detects and indicates the presence of live AC wires.

To use the stud finder, first, calibrate the tool before every scan by placing the entire device against the wall, then pressing and holding the calibration button until the reducing bars disappear and a beep confirms calibration is complete. Then, move the stud finder slowly along the wall, and when the signal bar is full and the beep alarm is loudest, you have found the center of an object. Mark it with a pencil, switch to Metal Scan mode to test if it's a metal, and if not, you've found the center of a stud. You can then safely drill into that location.

The FOLAI stud finder is specially designed to be the most accurate and safe stud detector, using state-of-the-art sensor technology to quickly and accurately locate metal pipes, live wires, studs, wood framing, rebar, and support beams hidden behind walls, floors, and ceilings. Whether you're a professional homeowner or a DIY enthusiast, this electronic wall scanner can be a great asset for your home projects.
