Pros good at finding studs in walls but picks up static on walls so not that good at finding cables. The only way I found was to hold it 25mm away from the wall when this happens ?

I don’t know wether I am ignorant (which I am sure I am not) or what I simply could not use it at all because I keeps bleeping no matter where I touch and the electricity symbol keeps coming on even when there are no electric sockets or wire within a metre of the door. I am positive I followed all the instructions supplied with the item. I will be obliged and grateful if anybody reading this review gets in touch with me and explain me where I am going wrong.

Easily finds timber in studded wall. Ideal if that is what you want. Does not work on tiled walls. Can not rely on it to find electric cables in walls. Even when you know there is a cable, it starts detecting it about a foot either side. Sometimes detects a cable as a stud, not good when looking for somewhere to drill. Sometimes detects electric cable when there is none. To be fair, the instruction manual makes it clear about the poor performance with electric cables, but that information is not available before you buy.

Still leaves you guessing where most studs are is it begins to pick them up at different places along the same stretch and picks some up even where there are non, I've gone back to old fashion tapping the wall to find them as it's just as accurate but miles quicker. I would spend a little more and get something better quality next time.

The stud finder was disappointing. Used itt o to see if any electrical wiring present and was telling me that the whole wall was full of wiring. Used it then on my hand and founf it still went off. Good looking product but not a good stud finder
