Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Swiveling magnet occupies a special niche. It finds nails easily, and springs to life quickly and definitively. A counterpoint is that accuracy is really high.



Cons

The magnet jiggles back and forth as i move it along the wall. The magnet isn’t strong enough to go through paint and drywall. The yellow piece is supposed to rotate freely.

For the price i paid, it's not worth returning it. Don't buy this and feel dumb too.

Quality


Solid sounds, this little tool is probably the oldest.


Bigger magnets may find the nail, but this is the accurate way , you will never miss a stud


The clear housing separated from the base and one of the ears on the magnet broke.


It is a marvel of engineering, and indestructible (i stepped on it and it didn't break).

Price


And it does all this at very little cost.


Good value for the money and it works much easier than the expensive electronic ones.


This is a really cheap stud finder.


Decent price for a staple tool around the house.

Packaging/appearance


I keep it in my jewelry box so that it is handy to hang pictures.
