Thanks! Been looking into stud finders; even if this one ends up being a gimmick, I'll bite for $26

Yeah, same here. It's shipped and sold by Walmart, so easy return if it doesn't work well.

I have the "pro," and it works surprisingly well. I have both lathe and metal studs depending on which floor of the house I'm on.

Unfortunately, since it's extremely slow to get going (plug to phone, mount phone to base, open app, calibrate, choose wall), I rarely use it unless I need to check for a wire or pipe.

I would echo this. It works well, but it's very clunky. Only use it for special situations

The $8 one on amazon that's just a powerful magnet works perfectly.
Magnets work great for finding screw and nail heads, but those may or may not be in the middle of the studs. And they fail miserably at finding other things behind the sheetrock.

That one works great for finding metal. Unfortunately, that's not so great when you're trying to avoid hitting pipes.

There is a 100% chance that as a man, you will hold the stud finder up to yourself and go, "found the stud."

Own the Android version, I probably paid double.

Is it a little gimmicky? Yes.
Does it actually work decently? Yes.

For this price I would buy it.
Might pick one up as a gift.
Wish the iPhone version was available
