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.

I'm wondering whether Hart is truly an independent licensor of the patents or if they're simply a subsidiary set up to sell at a competitive price point below the retail and warehouse club options typical for Franklin.
Good luck!

Some of the budget stuff is straight up reskins of Ryobi products and at least for awhile if you saw a "new" Ryobi product, after a bit you'd see a similar Hart one if it was deemed worthy to sell to Walmart customers.
That said TTI has a lot of fingers in a lot of pots and has brands like Hoover to pull designs and get budget vacuums for Hart. So I wouldn't be surprised if TTI has a partnership/arrangement with Franklin to make decent copies.

I imagine you'll keep getting pinged with replies to your top comment. Maybe clarify that you believe it doesn't work well in your opinion vs incorrect information of it not having the function entirely.
But if are new and have no idea of how a wall might be constructed, how far apart studs should be, where double studs might be found etc,.,..the Franklin here would be far, far easier and would more quickly present a strong idea of what's going on below surface...
For professional use, the Bosch D-TECT200C is pretty impressive, but goes for $1200:
