But it has two big limitations: it can't detect hot wires, and it can't distinguish between metal pipes and studs.
So I use this as my primary stud finder, but verify its findings with another stud finder to look for hot wires and pipes before doing anything.

Does not work at all with double sheetrock walls (new build interior garage door wall for me).
Used this on normal 5/8 walls to hang pegboard, totally fine.
The purpose of the OP is inform the SD community that you can get a $62.97 Franklin m210 for basically half the price (even cheaper if you're lucky enough to find it in the warehouse) but with Costco's great return policy if any problems . . . my understanding was they are clearing these out at the warehouses so I don't know how long it'll be offered online . . . I've been wanting to get one of these but not at $60 so this fits the bill . . .
Use your knuckle and a neodymium magnet

I have a similar Franklin Sensor stud finder as the primary, but also use another from Zircon as secondary to confirm. They use different method to find stud.
The Franklin Sensor one fail to find the stud when there is a board behind (ie. head board above a window), but the Zircon one will find it because it "zeros" where you turn it on.

The live wire detection is so vague and inconsistent as to be almost worthless. It will tell you that there is a live wire, but you can't know exactly where it is. And you don't necessarily get a repeatable result. The manual even states:
"To best detect the presence of live electrical wires, slowly scan in both directions, passing over the same location multiple times, for a more accurate reading."
Its weak performance with live wires is in sharp contrast to its excellent stud locating ability.
