Conversely, mine has worked great for the last few years. If you start it directly on top of a stud it wont read right, but other than that it works perfect and can accurately show the sides and center of a stud. I even tried it out when I was putting siding on my barn just to check the accuracy and it was dead on.

Would recommend purchasing a stud finder if you don't already have one.

I bought and it's not great. It doesn't consistently light up. I'd find a different one.

I was gonna ask how good these are. I've tried 2 different older ones and neither have been consistently close to accurate)

I wish it was One+. I know it would be a bit awkward but my Ryobi batteries are always charged, the 9v batteries always seem to be dead when I need them. I guess this being AA is a little better.

That's what I use. It can be a little annoying sweeping it around the wall looking for a screw but aside from that it's always dead on

I agree but I'd go for a Zircon. This Ryobi is made by Franklin and it'll work... sorta okay.
