Stud Finder Wall Scanner - 5-in-1 Stud Finder Tool with Intelligent Microprocessor Chip and HD LCD Display, Stud Detector for Center and Edge of Wood, AC Wire, Metal Studs, Joist Pipe

Whether you're hanging pictures, installing new shelves, or preparing for a home addition, knowing the location of wall studs can be incredibly useful. A quality stud finder can make the difference between a successful DIY project and a disastrous one, which is why this tool is so important.

The JAXWQ stud finder uses advanced smart sensors to detect changes in wall density and accurately locate stud centers. This eliminates the need to drill multiple test holes when mounting items like TV brackets, shelves, or coat hooks on drywall.

To use the AC scan mode, first place the tool in the air and press the on/off button to turn it on. Select the AC mode, then press the calibration button. The decreasing bars will disappear, and a single beep will confirm calibration is complete. Next, slowly slide the tool across the wall surface. The location with the strongest AC indication, shown by the top arrow and steady beep, marks the center of live wiring. To refine the scan area and pinpoint the wiring more precisely, release the scan button, turn the unit back on over one of the previous marks, then scan in both directions again.

This stud finder has three stud scan modes. The deep scan mode can detect studs up to 1.5 inches through multiple layers of drywall. It's recommended to start with the 0.5 or 1-inch stud scan mode first to minimize false positives. After detecting a stud's center, use the metal scan mode to determine if it's wood, metal, or a pipe.

The wire warning detection feature indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches deep, providing an essential safety precaution.

To use the tool, first calibrate it by holding the calibration button while the device is against the wall (for stud/deep mode) or in the air (for AC/metal mode). Then, slowly move the stud finder along the wall. When the signal bar is full and the beep is loudest, you've found the center of an object. Use the metal scan mode to confirm it's a wood stud, not metal.

This stud finder makes an excellent, practical gift for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike. Its accurate, rapid detection of studs, wires, and pipes helps users complete projects safely and efficiently, while the comprehensive display and multiple scan modes ensure versatility and ease of use.
