Exactly. I would have thought this thread would get more love than it has, especially
with the sheer number of 5 star reviews. Hell, the lowest Amazon has ever had it for was $7.99.
Maybe you should repost yourself? After all, the price has changed. :)

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit my blondeness -- this is obviously NOT what I thought a "stud finder" would be.

LOL. I thought this would be FP deal. Oh well. :)

I just saw you have another thumbs up, so maybe there's still hope....perhaps our bs-ing
has bumped the thread into "trending" and others have started to notice. :D

Thanks! Bought 3 for presents - been watching these on Amazon for months! Haven't seen them get anywhere near this price.

Take a magnet, see if it sticks to your wall. Piece of junk...

just use a strong magnet . . . . that is the best sd you can make yourself (will never break)

Hehe, sorry for the disappointment.

A magnet salvaged from a dead hard drive will accomplish the same thing. Having said that I got one of these as a gift and I like it better than a plain magnet because it does not leave any marks on the walls.

The built-in level can be useful too.

Speak for yourself!!

Here is a great stud finder that works on both metal and wood and it's only $3.99 shipped and no tax.

As the person above said for metal studs a neodymium magnet from a hard drive or a large magnet from a dead speaker will do the same thing.

I laughed when I read this, I have been using cheap magnet for years, and yesterday I was hanging microwave and the magnet fell on the ground and broke.

This thing is amazing. Magnet is super strong to find the nails in current studs. This works better and quicker than my bulky laser stud finder. I used this to redo my baseboard and casing and it is incredible how quick and easy it is to use and find studs.

this item requeires a 9volt battery nort included

I have this but sometimes I wish I had the other type (with sound and/or light) that allows you to locate edges on metal studs. I had to borrow one when I really needed to use a stud finder.

BTW, I paid $10 on Amazon, so this is a good deal if this is something you are looking for.

This thing is worth it for >$10.00, I bought one about 3 weeks ago and while its an admittingly low tech item its a nice overall package and worths better than just a bare magnet.

<-- stud found :D

Is it dead? It keeps auto deleting from the cart

These things are fantastic. This magnet is WAY stronger than your standard magnet, and it doesn't leave marks on your wall. The built in level is a nice feature too. Definitely worth having one of these around the house.

i've been looking for a stud... on grindr... can't find one... will this gadget help?
:(

I'll join the chorus of people recommending this. I own one, and it's been great. Perfect stocking stuffer for your home improvement-loving loved ones.

These things are great, get one.

In 4 1... Slightly too late though, just mounted a LCD TV using a laser stud finder and went to HomeDepot to pick one of these up just to double check the laser one (I hate putting holes in my walls) but they didn't have any... $7 for peace of mind is well worth it

HA! It definitely doesn't work for the kind of stud you are thinking. I know because I have this stud finder and I am still looking for a stud! :cool:

However, I do like this as a wall stud finder. Yes, you can just get some strong magnets and stick them on the wall. And that is what I was doing until I got this. I have 2 of the electronic, fancy, name brand, supposed-to-be-good stud finders. Neither one has ever been very consistent IMO. This magnetic one doesn't lie (unless you have some other metal in your walls).

So, it is very basic, but I grab it first every time I am hanging stuff on the walls.

Same price at amazon. No deal

:ermm: Shows $9.49 at Amazon for me

The cheapest it is on Amazon is $5.22 - BUT that one has a $5.80 shipping cost and tax. Not sure where you are seeing same price on Amazon.

Alright you cheap @#*%'s ! Crap on this for $1.79 ! (unavailable for shipping)

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_1015...949033000P

Probably cheaper than rare earth magnets!

best studfinder ever.


i have one of those fancy milwaukee stud finders with the LCD screen and this magnet is much more reliable

best little stud finder i bought when it ws at $9.50. took me a while to get use to it but once i found the nail, it stuck to it! helped me for setting up my surround sound system with ease =]

It didn't break. Now you have two magnets!

In 4 1. Thanks OP!

I am pretty handy around the house. This is prob the best stud finder I have ever used. YES it is just a strong magnet, but still pin points the studs very well... unlike the digital ones that miss 2/3 times.

it did on my walls but that was because we still have the flat piss-coat from the builder in most of our rooms.

Have this. Love it. So so much better than digital ones.

This thing kicks major ass, I haven't used my Zircon $40 unit in years. As long as it's wood studs, this is more accurate, faster, and fits in your pocket

This is an excellent stud finder. Someone said it doesn't work on newer homes, my place was built in 2007. Someone also said it doesnt work on plastered walls - works fine on mine.

I can't recommend this for construction purposes, but it definitely works for residential applications (hanging guitars, pictures, leveling frames, etc)

Its a great price and I love how it doesnt require batteries. I do recommend it.

stack off meritline magnets and a piece of string was all I needed

Chris Hanson's Stud Finder?

Sounds like a failed ABC show... To Catch a Stud

Not a bad price.

I have that one. Crap. Complete crap, especially on non smooth surfaces. The Hanson one is really nice.

I got one of these last year, the magnet is fantastic and it is VERY strong. It does a great job.

I've this one. Not sure if others would work better, but while using this to wire my projector and speaker wires, I was concerned about missing any fireblocks that weren't nailed down. Luckily I didn't encounter any. I kind of regretted this because I will likely buy another electronic one that doesn't depend on the nails and if that works well, I'll likely stop using the magnetic one. Went to Lowe's last weekend, saw one that works amazing in finding the edge precisely (at least on their "demo" wall), but it was $40.

got 2
thanks

Second that, on both counts. We painted the dining room before Thanksgiving and were putting new/differently placed pictures up afterward. Even those cheapies scratch the wall if you rub them up against it, and the magnets are unbelievably weak. This thing is heavy and sturdy, but clings to the wall without leaving a mark. And since you are usually looking for a stud to hang something on a wall, the level is quite handy. I got his at Sears a month ago for free (SYWR) but traveled miles to order and pick it up because it was cheaper at 10 than any place around and it had the best reviews on Amazon. If you have a few reward bucks that are about to expire, grab it and toss it into the gift drawer. Bet you anything you will end up using it long before you can gift it.

Uhh no, the TWO magnets in this are neodymium magnets and are MUCH stronger than the typical kind you might have laying around your house. This thing will even lock on to small finishing nails. I challenge you to do that with a regular magnet.

Also, to anyone buying these as stocking stuffers be careful as the magnets on these things would probably destroy magnetic strips on gift cards etc.

A magnet works, but not as well as a studfinder. I'd rather know I'm hitting a stud than see my drywall ripped under weight.

great lets get amazon to price match. Here is link to amazon (currently $9.50)

The magnet isn't attracted to hollow drywall... if it finds a screw/nail there is most likely stud underneath. And if someone can't tell they are hitting a stud while screwing in a TV mount etc then they should probably hire someone or get a more handy family member to do it for them.

Useful for mounting a TV as well.

I went to snooze and here we go. My second FP deal. :lmao:

Great, used my reward points, so it's free!

Shipping is not free, about $6. Not available for in store pick up.

That stinks! It is still available for in-store pick-up at the Sears by me.

Yes, it has worked well for me. I hung two huge flat screens with this thing. Never a doubt where the studs were. Well, I was actually wondering where the "human studs" were cuz I am a female and hung those televisions by myself. Try being on a ladder and balancing a TV on your head with one hand and trying to tighten things with the other. It was no easy task!!

For the one I hung before I got this stud finder I used about 8 neodymiun magnets and had a line of them going down the wall so I could see exactly where the stud ran. It worked so well that when I saw this, I wanted it. Like I said before, it is basic with no bells and whistles. But for my needs, it serves its purpose well! :)

you can always order up to $49 to get free shipping, then return the rest of the stuff to your local sears.

Whenever my wife uses one of these it starts beeping and buzzing and flashing every time I walk by... Why is that? Must be my magnetic personality I guess... ;)

Or the metal plates in your head :D

I have NOT read all the way through this thread.
I just wanted to note that I've used magnetic stud finders in the past.
I've ALSO used an ultrasonic (?) one that read wall density. I bought one at the local hardware store and it was not more than this price.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
I'll ne'er go back to magnetic. The new ones show you EXACTLY where both edges of the stud are;
a great feature for getting a lag bolt dead center to hold up a seventy-five pound television and articulated arm.
That is all.

This is hands down the best stud finder ever! I use it all the time... also good to magnetize the tips of screwdrivers lol

Congrats, maybe all our back and forth helped people take notice of the thread. Funny, I had my second FP a few days ago and it surprised me too. It seems like the thread always takes off when you aren't looking. :nod:

Very nice deal. I bought one a couple months back for $3 more.

I have this studfinder and I love it. It works far better than most of the fancy ones out there.

Funny!

SYYMax gave me free shipping... i ordered this morning and it was just delivered this evening. really caught me off guard.

How were you guys able to order? Everytime I tried it kept saying "your cart is empty" and it showed in stock

Just got 3 with free pickup! 2 are gifts and 1 for me. :)

I bought one of these 3 years ago off Amazon for ~$10. It sticks right to nails. Works fantastic. I highly recommend it. For less than $7, it's a steal.

Got it- love it.
The pick up at Sears is fantastic- they get it to me within 1 minute!

They have some sort of time frame they are supposed to get your order out to you or they give you a $5.00 "gift paper" (not a gift CARD, but not really a coupon cuz it is for $5.00 of in store items. I think they call it a customer care coupon).

Anyway, the last few times I have gone, they can't seem to locate my order. So once they gave me 4 of those $5.00 customer care coupons, and another time they gave me 2. Gonna go to Sears tomorrow to see if I can knock out a Christmas gift or two for my dad. $30.00 for sitting there waiting for my order... I'll take it!

I will say my Sears is awful as far as the people that work in the actual store, BUT the guy that runs the pick-up department is by far one of the best guys I have ever come across as far as customer service goes. He goes above and beyond, he is friendly, he helps any way he can, and he even opens and closes my car door for me. May seem like a small thing, but when is the last time you ever came across an employee that did that for you? He is the sole reason I bother going to Sears. If I couldn't shop online and pick up there, then they would not see a dime from me. Hate to say it but Sears has definitely gone downhill over the years. But I do still like the Craftsmen tools.

As I digress....

I have all sorts of nice ones but never success and I planning on installing some cabinets, not sure how will it go. I read long back that this is good and it is comparable to a simple magnet and most of them just have a magnet in them. I used my huge waster sub-woofer to do the same but it will make streaks on the wall and this one doesn't.

Ordered one for pickup at MOA Bloomington, MN last night and it was canceled this morning, still shows in stock at that store too. Deal is still live just have to driver further for pick up now.

Thanks, in for 1!

Still available here for shipping. Not sure why it says expired.
