Customer Reviews:

Works on drywall / Doesn't work on plaster/lath [Posted on 2008-08-19]
This simple stud finder is simply a magnet in a plastic case and quite effective if the metal you're seeking is near the surface. The magnet isn't strong enough to be of any use in plaster/lath. Since this was my last shot at finding a stud finder, I'm next buying a very strong black magnet for $2 in hopes it can find the nails.

NEW VERSION? [Posted on 2008-09-18]
The amazon description stated "NEW VERSION" and showed a picture of the new model. They sent me the old one. I called them and they sent me a replacement which again was the old model. The manufactures site shows the new model, but the part numbers are the same for the new and old. That's just confusing.

Impressed [Posted on 2008-09-19]
We've never owned a stud finder before, but we just moved into a house and didn't want to go drilling holes and guessing to find the studs for hanging things like we did in our apartment. I was really impressed with the reviews and I decided on this over an electronic stud finder. It sure helped that it was so inexpensive. We just got it and it works great - I can hardly believe how strong a pull this magnet has to our walls! Our toddlers are always curious about our tools and this is one that I don't mind them playing with since it's enclosed in plastic and has no moving parts. The stud finder did look different on the website a week ago when I ordered it (it looks a lot more simple now). We got the newer version, so I was a little surprised when I opened the box, but I don't care what it looks like as long as it works.

It's Worth The Money [Posted on 2008-11-07]
I got tired of missing the studs at least half of the time with my virtually worthless Zircon electronic stud finder. I shopped for a newer model or a different brand, but the poor ratings convinced me they weren't worth the money. Then I saw the ratings for the Stud4sure. I thought the price was a bit much for what is basically a couple of magnets. However, after using this tool, I think it was money well spent.

Does What It Is Supposed To Do! [Posted on 2008-11-08]
I've used many stud finders, and this one is one of the best I've used. The magnets on the stud finder are very strong and give you a great virtual idea as to where the nails on the studs are. It won't work unless there is a metal component on the stud, however, but overall very good for the price!
