Thanks for the info about this tool stud finder.
I’m glad I could be of help! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Hi thanks for your vid!
Neat tool!
Question: Can one do the same with Walabot l when it comes down to holding phone apart from device vs holding phone and device together back to back?
So did I ever pick a winmer? Or is it over?
Concerned, that no one has used a wall with insulation and/or plastic vapor barrier. But, I must mention that your review was the best I have seen to date.
Just a thought. When you tried using with everything, other than the first sheet of drywall, did you recalibrate it? Not saying it would work, but it needs calibrated for a reason.
I've been wondering about this product for awhile as it often pops up in ads on mobile apps and UA-cam. Seeing this real world test was exceptionally helpful!
I’m glad I could shed light on this product! Thank you 🙏🏽 !
Excellent on all your videos. I do part time handyman work and installed many TV’s with one stud finder. Drilling in the correct place is crucial and must be correct all the time. This is very precise and would be very helpful to have. You have taught me many things I have never seen on other videos. Thanks for doing this for all us diy’rs and fixer uppers. Keep on giving your best.
Ever tried it on the old style lath & plaster walls? The whole wall must show as a stud right?
Great video! I am generally skeptical of most sponsored reviews, but you seem to be unbiased in your testing. There are two things that will keep me from buying one of these:
1. Cost: You mention the price is $149 (presumably USD). Amazon in the US now lists this at $199USD, however Amazon Canada (where I am) lists it at $350Cdn. Currently that works out to $256USD, so quite a difference. To be fair this video is 2 years old, but still. I'd consider paying that if the device performed more consistently, but even recent Amazon reviews seem mixed.
2. Performance: As you noted it doesn't like to detect PVC pipe or some wires (such as around your alarm panel). Also it seems to have issues with the orientation of wires and pipes that it does detect. I noticed in your wall mock-up tests that the image of the wires especially seem to tilt significantly as you move the device over them. I suspect this is due to the non-uniform profile of the wire; the wire has a slight twist (as is to be expected), so the device is forced to make its best guess.
Bonus: Product info from Walabot says it detects movement and they show a picture similar to that from a thermal imaging camera. This is very misleading IMO, especially considering it wouldn't detect your hand behind the drywall.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make us all smarter, safer, and more efficient
Thanks for the review, the mock up wall was a great idea. I’m impressed that the device found most of the items.
Thanks for the demo I too wish it picked up the pvc pipe…..
That's pretty cool. We're remodeling a house that's been kind of hacked together and have a lot of upgrades to do. Ive been through 3 stud finders and a lot of useless "search" holes to patch. Very frustrating. Hard to find quality tools.
You're going to need to do a showdown between all your stud finders soon! You should make a test piece of 1/2 and 3/4 drywall with mud, primer and paint.
great video and very good tool
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks for the review! I've been using a little stud finder that came with a tv mounting kit for about ten years now. Definitely time for an upgrade!
So glad I could be of service! 🙏🏽😊
I plan on making an in-between the studs storage cabinet for my broom and stick vac. Looks like this could come in handy for that👍
Yes this will be a big help! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Thank you so much for the demonstration of the WALABOT. That is a tool I could definitely use in my shop and home projects. I'm new to becoming a DIYER. BUY the way you're doing great!!
Thank you for all the great tips you gave us and home remodeling you have a great channel
Thank you so much! Means a lot! 🙏🏽😊
It is not bad , I wish it would pick up pvc piping but overall it is not bad very helpful thank you for all of your professional and hands on ideas extremely helpful to me!
Great stud finder, thanks for reviewing
Thank you 🙏🏽 ! Please stay tuned for part 2 this week! 👍🏽😊
Ive been searching for great tools like this. (Definitely has grabbed my attention). Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Just love your presentation ... It was excellent! Would just love to have one!
Great tool, solid review.
Love your videos. Very informative
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Great session, I have tried those finders that look for nails. Those are worthless. This is great for finding the locations of things behind the wall. Thank you for the demonstration.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Thank you also for the support! 🙏🏽😊
I found the best thing for finding drywall screws/nails is a strong earth magnet
I'm planning on a renovation of my bathroom and kids toy room and have been looking to upgrade my very basic stud finder, although I've always said my wife is the best stud finder ; ) , and this device has come across my attention but the price was always what steered me away from it. I'd love to get one though and give some real life feedback during my home renovations. Love your videos and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great review
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
I've been using older version of wallaby for couple of years. I love it. I was disappointed that it could not detect a dead rat in my wall but otherwise I am very satisfied with it. I like that the model 2 is wireless.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing with us your experience! Yes one off the DIY 2 best feature is the wireless feature 👍🏽😊
What's Biden doing behind your wall? Common man!
Great product, thanks for reviewing
Thanks for the review showing good and bad in a real world test. Great mock-up!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks for putting out such an honest review! Definitely has its pros/cons but overall cool tool!
Thank you for your time and efforts for testing various gadgets in your videos and giving honest opinions. Also for clear explanations and instructions on how to repair anything in the house ( plumbing, Electrical, construction, etc). Will try to watch all your videos.
i've seen the ads - thanks for the video. Another great addition to any handyman's arsenal. BTW loved the monkey (another shout out to your daughter) & the stud finder joke never gets old- made me LOL because I'll bet every dad/husband has "calibrated" their stud finder for someone.
Have you calibrated it for each new surface, or was the test done on laminate and 1inch dry wall with the calibration from the 0.5inch? Thanks!
I'd like to know if that would have made a difference also
Was a very helpful review, Thank you.
I’m glad I could be of help Mark! 🙏🏽😊
That would be very handy thank you alot diy it's helpful 👍
Did you recalibrate the device between changing wall thicknesses? That's a must.
Great video. Definitely have been wondering about this unit. The actually advertising from the manufacture is showing much more detection than your testing. Funny huh? Thanks again. Not sure if I would spend the money on this unit. Stud finding is good but I would love to see the electrical more clearly.
Thank you for your feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks for testing the stud finder. I had been considering one for a kitchen remodel that I started. I seems that working on a mobile home, you just don't know what is behind the wallboard on the older homes. They just don't seem to follow any standards it seems.
It was by pleasure to be of service! 🙏🏽😊
Awesome video, love the detailed fake wall which resembles a real world behind the wall items. Keep it up bro. 👍👍
Thank you for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Great video. Nice to see the wallabot being used in the real world.
Thanks for the video, it's a nice product.
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for part 2 👍🏽😊
Looks like it might come in handy for my remodel. Doesn't it have different modes though? I thought I saw that in a different video . Love your channel.
Thank you for this demo! I could definitely use this for my bathroom demo!
Great video. Cool tool.
Thank you!!
Thanks for doing the review. I've been thinking about getting one.
Great video. Useful information you "stud"!Thanks.
Excellent video as usual. Thanks
Thank you so much! 😊🙏🏽
Great product- could really use it!!
I’m glad I found your video on this device. You did a good mockup and test. The pvc pipe & wiring surrounding you wall outlet not being found, causes me to be a little apprehensive about this tool. The cost vs accuracy…not convinced. Good video, keep up the good work. I’m a subscriber 😊
This might be the one I've been looking for, thx bro
Cool stud finder
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for the review. I thought it did a good job
Thank you so much! Please stay tuned for part 2 update video out next week 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing. Overall it's a great tool even though it didn't pick up the PVC pipe. I would love to have it around the house.
This looks worth buying. I have a home built in the 1940's and the walls are a combination of drywall and cement. Cannot use some finders because of the concrete/cement wall combo.
Very likely this wont work either, see what happened to the 1inch thick... could be calibration.
That was too funny about it seeing your hand and detecting a stud. Ya got my vote dude.
Another great video. I agree, it would have been awesome if it would have picked up the PVC pipe. But because it scanned everything else, that does make it one of the better ones.
I feel like it's more concerning that it didn't pick up the electrical wires inside the house. Just a thought though, when you added the extra 1/2" drywall (to make the 1" test), did you re-calibrate the unit?
Thank you for the feedback! Yes alway recalibrate when doing a new wall just to make sure. 👍🏽😊
handy little product, planning on doing some more remodeling myself and be nice to know where my copper water and drain pipes are.
ps. your lvp fix videos were very helpful, had a couple of issue with my lvp flooring. really enjoy your videos.
Great video - liked the mock-up as well as the real world test
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Thank you for the content.
Thank you for the love and support! 😊🙏🏽
That was cool and easy to use thanks for showing tht
I wonder if thank you for bthe reason it didn’t pick up the PVC was the plastic not being a heat inducting material? All in all I would love one, just being able to see the studs and the pipe is HUGE! Thank you for another great Video
Thank you so much for the feedback! Stay tuned I will be doing a second follow up video! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Its interesting, the presentation showed how it detects metals pvcs under the walls. Could it also be used to see bones under the skin?
Being in construction for 40 years I see this tool being a good asset to the trade
Thanks for the review!
Good stuff man. Keep up the good work. Very informative and we can tell you really put thought into your content. This tool would serve well!!
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Cool studfinder. I need one of these!
At 8:10, I wasn't expecting that - so you had me cracking up!! "..so it's classifying me as a stud.... you make that decision yourself!"
Great review. I finally got a seller to accept my offer!! It's an older home that will need a bit of cosmetic work, so I am doing as much research as possible regarding these stud, pipe, wire detectors--- and the fact that this one "could" detect pests.... well, actually....fir me.. now I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing! Great review though. Thanks, you stud, YOU! 😉
Fabulous! Love to watch ur reviews! Really helps to decide what to and not to buy!!!
Bro!! That’s awesome!! That will help find pipes and wires under my floors too!
Yessir 👍🏽😊 thanks for the feedback!
It would be nice to see if the Stud Finder tool works over bathroom tile, as in installing a grab bar in a shower or bath tub.
Fabulous! Thanks for doing these reviews! Really helps to know what to and not to buy-as well as how thoroughly they work!!! Great Job!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍
I think this stud finder is the best I’ve seen so far in technology.
Seems to be a pretty good product
I hesitated the buying original model for the fact it had to be attached to phone. This model, I am definitely interested in. Thanks for updated info.
Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching! 😊🙏🏽
Thank you for the video, I have been looking at the ads that seem to pop up all the time. Please post a up date after a bit of use in the real world and let us know. $160 is pretty steep for a stud finder unless it REALLY works.
Stay tuned for part 2 update 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Thank you, your video was so informa
tive! I really liked the way you test this new stud finder, including the little stuffed animal , your hand and your house wall. Real scenarios.
Wow it’s really one of the best stud finder plus finding all the other things to avoid when cutting a hole
Thank you for the feedback! Yes it’s the best stud Finder I have so far! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
That's even better than stud finder. My brother thank you keep bringing more ideas share them on this channel. Your videos are simple easy with a lot of details and most importantly they're not boring. Thanks again
Been looking for a good stud finder. Great there is another option!
Will it work on 3/4 inch drywall? My opinion was when you check your original wall it didn’t pick up the electrical wires by the outlet
I will do a remake of this video and post this week. Please stay tuned 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Ha, you're definitely a study bro! :D btw, what if you rotated the device horizontally, would it pick up the horizontal stud then? It's a pretty good device!
Thanks bro! You make a great point! Why didn’t I think of that lol! I will have to check and find out! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Works well, But, I'm sure there going to make them better in the future. Thanks for the info. Take care.
Nice review my man, new to the channel, thank you. When you drawing for the winner??
Thank you so much! I’ll be drawing this Monday when I release a new video and releasing the winners on that video and posting winners on the community tab!
Sure could have used one of those when installing my tv over the fireplace. Good review.
Great video. Been looking into this wallabot. You’re channel is great , love your simple explanations and you have the best intro I’ve seen on any DIY channel.
Are you recalibrating with each new wall type? I've not used the Walabot, but I think that would be important.
I was about to write a comment like that.
Pretty nice little gadget
It certainly is! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Very cool! One step closer to Superman’s x-ray vision!
Haha yes! Thank you for your feedback! 🙏🏽😊
Great video man! Certainly some cool tech that could prove useful. Keep up the good work!
Maybe you need to fill the pvc pipes with water - if that makes the difference. But then drains are still not detectable. Thx for the video.
Very cool product. Definitely would help as long as you understand it’s limitations.
Ive seen this product out for a few years now! Looks pretty cool, but was only for android, did they come out with an iPhone version? Give it 2 thumbs up!
Pretty awesome perfect for the next project
Very nice video! I think it would have detected the PVC in expert mode, can you verify that?
Hi! I made an update video on this please check out this link: m.ua-cam.com/video/akoySWrJ9Is/v-deo.html
this is better than any other stud finders I see. Do you think this will work on plaster?
I want to say yes but I haven’t tested it on plaster since plaster is a lot more dense. I will have to do a follow up and let you know 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse that would be awesome! no rush 💯
Thanks for the information
Thank you for another informative review. Keep ‘em coming.
Thanks for sharing your analysis on the device, it is not perfect, but it is better than regular stud finder for sure.
How you think it would work on old houses that still have Lach wood behind the plaster
I think you need to re-calibrate when changing materials. Did you do that off-camera?
