I can confirm. This is how his wife likes it.
Magnetic options are pretty good for finding drywall nails/screws, but whether or not those are centered in a stud (or even in a stud) depends on how careful the drywall installer was.

I've found that the multi-led stud finders like Franklin are pretty darn accurate for locating the edges, and thus the center, of the studs. Just do several passes from both directions, making marks as you go and the mid point of all the marks will be pretty darn close to the actual center of the stud.

Unable to find this product on Costco website. It seems only in warehouse. I remember they use to sell these for around $35 earlier.

edit: My wife tried using it and it pointed in my direction so I would say it's fairly accurate.

I read that Franklin are usually one of the best stud finders. I haven't tried this one yet.

Does okay mean it does its job, nothing special?

I have previous model and it's pretty good but I wish they added AC detector like this HART one at Walmart: HART Professional 9-LED Stud Finder https://www.walmart.com/ip/426648899. It does give false reading if multiple layers of materials are present and keep in mind it will show pipe inside the wall as possibility of "stud" but that's just how thing are with other finders as well I'm sure.

Costco has sold one with the AC detector. Not sure if it's this model or not, but I did pickup a model at Costco within last 6 months with AC detector.

I have been using these stud finders exclusively that last few years. They were $50 buck at Lowes only. Then Harbor Freight started to sell a model for ~35 then Home Depot picked them up for a reason....they work so much better then any one light model.
