based on that we could find out which chinesium model it's based on - although i doubt you could get it for a lower price than this.

You can certainly tap and feel/hear the difference where the studs are, but if you've got lath and plaster walls it can be difficult to localize. which is where the stud finder can help.
One thing you can do if the wall is big enough is to tap along and locate 3 or 4 studs, which will help you figure out the spacing since even if it's non-standard, it's probably even. You most certainly cannot assume it's 16", and if it's an older house you can't even assume how the outlet is mounted since it might be a retrofit/rewire. Some of those modern rules of thumb go out the window when your 2x4s are actually 2" x 4"!
