Iam just starting with wood working I really like your stuff, easy to understand and very usefull. thank-you
great product, excellent demo and thanks for sharing.
I have read some thing about this type of construction,very interesting and shows alot of promise long term! Good choice!+++Bob
Thanks Bob, Here in Ireland most homes are the same as the UK , they have concrete or brick internal walls, except for new apartments which have stud walls the only difference been that we generally plaster over the whole wall and not just the joints so I dont really know if it would be capable attaching to screws underneath a layer of plaster.
Thanks for the interesting additional info!+++Bob
very ingenious!!
ICF = Insulated Concrete Forms. It is a sandwich of 2.5-inch rigid foam forms, with an inner filling of concrete and rebar. Makes for a high performance system with good R-value, air tightness, strength, and quietness.
The "studs" are generally 1.5-inch wide strips of high density plastic (mostly) or steel, and they are buried 0.5-inch below the surface of the block. They are for screwing in to attach exterior or interior cladding.
good channel thanks
Genius! Well...really clever!
"And one more thing!" as the Saturday morning cartoon character Jackie Chan's grandfather would always say. Looking at other sources for the Magic Stud Finder I see that Amazon has that, as well as a lower cost alternative, the Hanson STUD4SURE Magnetic Stud Finder for $11, and it has the benefit of no moving (losable) parts. 4.5 star rating out of 57 reviews. Sounds good.
I just use a strong magnet at the end of a string for this. I'm about to go buy a regular stud finder though since I can't seem to find any good nails above the door frame.
This looks perfect for me. We're doing ICF walls in our soon to start new house. I'm not sure if traditional stud finders will work with the plastic "stud" strips, but this should do the job.
How about price and source info?
Thanks!
Hate throwing tools away! Never know what else you may be able to use it for.Just the way my mind thinks.Thanks for watching.+++Bob
I tried everything I could do and could not get a false reading whether the electric line was live or off+++Bob In short no.
Do they plaster right on the block? What about insulation? Thanks +++Bob
tks!
Hurricane-proof (or at least HIGHLY resistant) for the coastal residents, or tornado-"proof" for other parts of the country.
Also dead quiet and highly energy efficient.
Is this the system that is HURRICANE PROOF?+++Bob
What does ICF stand for? Thanks +++Bob
Hi Todd, WARNING! This tool is designed to work with DRYWALL not plaster. If the side jobs you do are plaster it may not work for you +++Bob
In answer to my question, I guess a good stock answer to any question these days is, "Google it." The Magic Stud Finder site show the locator at $17, and you can get just a set of four target magnets for $11. Presumably one could even use the target magnets in hand without the holder/finder body. Shipping is $6.
Usually a stud is to the left of an outlet or switch.
What about electrical wires, would the magnets be attracted to them ?
What happened to the moustache ????
I need something to go on the end of my impact so I can move fast and work over my head. The person who comes up with stud finder connected to my screw gun, yer my hero LOL
i cannot find this
Winifred Cardona Have not seen them in stores yet but can be bought thru their website.
Garbage. I'm not trying to find drywall screws. I'm trying to find the studs center. Drywall screws are never in the center of the stud.
John Rambo I believe you would agree that this would be a pretty good way to get close to begin with, and eliminate alot of the false readings you get with most stud finders?
HomeRemodelWorkshop Yes, it might help eliminate some of the false readings. One of the problems with more stud finders is they are garbage. Get a Franklin Prosensor and be done with it.
