Great job. People are terrible at making videos. You were clear, percise and used a number of devices. No loud music and no side talk. Thx. You saved me from bying the wrong item.
I have a similar one I got at Costco a few years ago and I love it! It doesn't have the extra features this one has (bubble level, pencil holder, etc.), but it works wonderfully. I've used it for many types of jobs and it is reliable every time! I highly recommend this type of studfinder!
Always love your videos. Because of your popcorn ceiling removal videos, I've removed all the popcorn downstairs. I'm having a professional fix the few cracks in the ceiling. When he came to quote, he said I'd done a fantastic job removing the popcorn. Thank you for your humor too.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! You have saved me time and money!!! I no longer have to cover unnecessary holes!! Haha! I LOVE THIS STUD!! And the finder is cool😉👍🏼new sub, slapped that 👍🏼 and 🔔 Godspeed ❤️🇺🇸
If used properly and the batteries are charged all types will work the same. I ran similar test with 4 different stud finders and a magnet and all yield similar results. I will say the type you featured in this video tends to be more consistent due to the 13 sensors. I use the Franklin stud finder in conjunction with a magnet and dead on every time.
Thanks for the video review. I bought my first electronic stud finder about 20 years ago. it worked OK but gave a lot of false positives. Bought a second model (different manufacturer) about 10 years ago. It's a bit more accurate, sort of picks up wiring and pipes but also not perfect. It's time i bought a new one and this one seems to work much better than what I have
My last ditch go to on everything is 10 , 3/4 inch rate earth magnets. Find 2 screws, nails and mark the average with your level. 20 years ago I used a compass.

thank yu this helped alot. but could yu do one when ur trying to hang somthing from a shower ceiling? this may sound stupid . but these stud finders is what brought me to ur chanel. and it has helped. ive moved into an apartment and have tons of pictures to hang. when i got to the bathroom shower , i want to hang one of those 3 tier wire baskets that would hang down from the ceiling using a screw hook or if yu use a screw hook {thats what i call it} from the wall, but when i saw that yu showed other pipes behind the wall like water pipes and electical i had second thoughts. could yu help me ? what should i do . forget about the shower project , lolo. or not??
I've seen these before but have never used one. Glad I got to see it in action, definitely better than the one I've been using, which was your favorite before stepping up to this one. One of the reasons I haven't bought one yet however, is the size. Won't easily fit in my tool pouch.

I own the Franklin because to me it is the easiest to use, my one gripe is that you have to press the activation button constantly. Sometimes in awkward situations it can be a challenge to keep that button pressed. Bosch makes a model with that feature, but the Franklin overall is best for me. Thanks for the video!
I've had mine for about three years and don't find pushing and holding a button to be that difficult; the Zircon's I've used all had one or more buttons on them, as well.

Thanks for the videos on stud finders. Great detailed explanations. I also frequently provide great detailed, very excellent explanations on all types of things from our home repairs to politics with my captive audience of one: my wife of twenty plus years. However, I don't get the favorable reviews you get. I'm a Navy veteran and was an instructor. She appreciates my military service, but not the instruction skills.
I was wondering how accurate it is if you glide the stud finder and watch the led closely as it approaches the stud. Will it show the edge better that way ? Like a zircon it will light up from each direction I like the idea in this tool even if found a faster not creeping up from each side use ..if that makes a difference…
My question is, what's the best way to find studs in older homes with plaster & lathe walls? Some can be very uneven in thickness/density. Thank you for the vid, very well done.
This video is really helpful. Thank you. Do you have any suggestions on finding out plambing pipes behind drywall, any info you provide will be really helpful.
I have that same yellow stud finder and it works sometimes but it never seems to be perfect. and if you're hanging something heavy like a TV you want that lag screw to be dead center in the two-by-four so you don't split it!
I use a 5/64 " drill bit to find the center. First hole than left & right 1/2" .If you hit on both, you could go left & right a 1/4 " for more accuracy. Good Luck !!!!
Thanks! Would you recommend getting this and a cheaper one to detect the edge better? I am learning to do some DIY and installing shelves in my laundry but worried i might hit something...what would suggest as a good way to be safe and not hit any pipe/plumbing?
If you want to save money, just get this one and go back and forth a few times. You'll be able to spot the center, or mark each edge as it shows up and aim for the middle of those 2.
I used to do handyman work and I actually stopped offering to hang pictures and anything on the wall because it was so difficult to find the studs with my theoretically decent two sensors stud finder
The Video was Great and by the look of this Stud Finder, with improved technology, it should work a lot better. Thank for the Excellent video, I will have to look in to this new idea. Thanks again.
I’m looking at this video because I’m having a hard time the lights come on across check again on the same spot nothing go across the wall slowly and when I do find a spot that lit up send the screw in, nothing to grab to
Where did you find your Air Force plaque that hangs on the wall? What years did you serve active duty?I like your cap! Thanks for the good tips on using the stud finder.
Looks like a nice unit. What do you recommend for finding AC? Stanley stud finders devices have that feature. Have you found them to be reliable for that purpose?
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Thanks. Reviews and comments suggest that the AC detection can be patchy in cheaper devices. The thickness of the insulation around the wires is probably a factor.
I've been an electrician for over 35 years, had a dozen or so studfinders, they all suck. I use my knuckle, way more accurate. Thanks for your service, what was your AFSC, when did you serve?
Hey, I did a short stint in personnel as they said I was colorblind in MEPS, then I proved them wrong, went palace chase, and retrained into Electronic Warfare and worked on the retired A-7s. 1984-1991, SSGT, E-5. Thanks for your service as well. What did you do?
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY PMEL, 86-90 then 90-'06 in the IMA program. Tech school at Lowry then off to Wurtsmith, reserve duty was with AFMETCAL Det-1 out of Wright Patterson was stationed at Newark AFB. Reason I ask is you look familiar, it's been 34 years but I see that you're not who I thought you were. Great video's, really enjoy watching them.
Thank you for your service gentlemen! I was also an Electronic Countermeasures System Tech, 32853, 76-82. Eglin AFB, FL, Spangdahlem AB, Germany, Griffiss AFB, NY. I was also our shops main contact for PMEL!
Hi, thanks for your service btw. I bought the hat here- amzn.to/3ndQ3ye As for the clock, if you mean the digital one, I don't know. If you mean the metal one in the Air Force pattern, it's not a clock and was bought at a local exhibit booth at a music festival last year, when we could still have those. Thanks
Just bought one of these stud finders because I was having a hard time finding the studs to hang a hand rail for my basement stairs. Using this stud finder I found that the braces were running diagonally through the wall. And I love the fact that it uses two AA batteries vs the 9 volt! Can you put the link to where I can purchase the case for the stud finder? Thanks
You should do a video of stud finers with differant material.....My walls are (1940's) 3/8" drywall and some kind of morter over it like 1/2 to 3/4 inch think also lath and whatever else has been used. your video is good but simple drywall and stud dosnt test much. Thanks
what is the difference between 710 and 710+ models? The link in your description leads to model 710+ for 52 dollars, but the link in your pinned comment leads to model 710 for 74 dollars

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY and the Walbot isn't proven technology. It gets the same kind of ratings as all the other stud finders. This great one in your video is the best.
Perfect. Ya know us guys don't like to read instruction, just dive in, never admit if your wrong just blame the new tool.. After all you can't let the wife know you might have wasted your money, just bury it in your tool box and go back to driving nails.😅
I watched a video comparing 4 different stud finders over studs, electric wires, conduit, pvc, for detection... A major problem was it showed conduit as a stud! He did it twice, then said, that’d be incredibly dangerous. I canceled my order after his video.
How close were the wires and conduit to the surface? Pipes, wires, etc. are supposed to be located more in the center of the stud bay and therefore most Stud finders won’t detect them. In all my years of using them, I’ve never hit anything like a pipe or a wire.
The other problem with that is, I’ve never seen electrical conduit run inside of a wall. Conduit is for the outside of the wall. Inside the wall they just run wires loosely. And my final issue is, you would need a screw that is roughly 2 1/2 inches long to reach far enough to even touch the conduit. And conduit is very tough and would be very difficult to drive a screw through.

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Thanks. Reviews and comments suggest that the AC detection can be patchy in cheaper devices. The thickness of the insulation around the wires is probably a factor.
your a stud, like the tutorial as always keep well ,
What about with double 5/8" sheetrock up? Will it pick up accurately?
Haven't tried it on that yet. Might have to do a video about that.
my old stud finder that even had two sensors and was supposed to find the middle of the stud has never worked as reliably as I would have liked
They are finicky.
you've shown me that stud finders are trash, thank you. i will now use the knocking on wall technique from now on
This it's working to findi GA Galvanized Steel Metal Stud?
I’ll test this soon
How dose it work with plaster walls?
I plan to test that soon
Hi.. This can use on concrete walls?
No. What would you be looking for in concrete anyway.
Concrete metal bar
I think I’ve seen one that will do that but it seems like it was really expensive. This one won’t though
Facing problem just now drill hit the concrete metal bar
How do open and replace battery?
Just a suggestion, maybe the tape is throwing off the reading??
There is not enough density in Tape to really make it do that
Great video, many thanks. However when I click your link it goes to Franklin Sensors FS710PRO 710+. Is this the same product under a different name?
Franklin makes them all
good info yours is green but the link shows a yellow one? is it the same stud finder?
Yes, they made the green color for Costco, but I got it off Amazon
I've been an electrician for over 35 years, had a dozen or so studfinders, they all suck. I use my knuckle, way more accurate. Thanks for your service, what was your AFSC, when did you serve?
Hey, I did a short stint in personnel as they said I was colorblind in MEPS, then I proved them wrong, went palace chase, and retrained into Electronic Warfare and worked on the retired A-7s. 1984-1991, SSGT, E-5. Thanks for your service as well. What did you do?
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY PMEL, 86-90 then 90-'06 in the IMA program. Tech school at Lowry then off to Wurtsmith, reserve duty was with AFMETCAL Det-1 out of Wright Patterson was stationed at Newark AFB. Reason I ask is you look familiar, it's been 34 years but I see that you're not who I thought you were. Great video's, really enjoy watching them.
iwerkalone thanks
Thank you for your service gentlemen! I was also an Electronic Countermeasures System Tech, 32853, 76-82. Eglin AFB, FL, Spangdahlem AB, Germany, Griffiss AFB, NY. I was also our shops main contact for PMEL!
That’s my AFSC too. Worked on A-7s. 84-91. Thanks for your service.
Great review. Where did you get the hat and clock? I am a Air Force veteran to but I like your plate but I can’t use it.
Hi, thanks for your service btw. I bought the hat here- amzn.to/3ndQ3ye
As for the clock, if you mean the digital one, I don't know. If you mean the metal one in the Air Force pattern, it's not a clock and was bought at a local exhibit booth at a music festival last year, when we could still have those. Thanks
How to find live wires behind?
I want 50! sensors! Have you ver tried this on lath?
It won’t work on lathe
have you tried the wallabot?
No, because it won't work on my phone, an iphone.
I would like you to tell me what you think about the Ch Hanson03040 stud finder
I think all stud finder’s work similarly if used correctly. The main difference is the features and how they indicate the studs
Just bought one of these stud finders because I was having a hard time finding the studs to hang a hand rail for my basement stairs. Using this stud finder I found that the braces were running diagonally through the wall. And I love the fact that it uses two AA batteries vs the 9 volt! Can you put the link to where I can purchase the case for the stud finder? Thanks
It is in the description below the video, but here it is- ** The case for this stud finder - amzn.to/2WVcmhb **
You should do a video of stud finers with differant material.....My walls are (1940's) 3/8" drywall and some kind of morter over it like 1/2 to 3/4 inch think also lath and whatever else has been used. your video is good but simple drywall and stud dosnt test much.
Thanks
Good video
Thanks! 😁
what is the difference between 710 and 710+ models? The link in your description leads to model 710+ for 52 dollars, but the link in your pinned comment leads to model 710 for 74 dollars
I would have to go read the details on Amazon
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY The one you showing in your video is for 52 dollars or 74?
$52
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Thank you very much! I appreciate your help!
Why does your teaser show the yellow Franklin stud finder yet you demonstrate a different one?
Same Company makes them both. Just sold to different channels. I confirmed this with them personally
Wow
Dont see a link to the case...is it somewhere else?
Hey, thanks for catching that. I just updated it, but here it is - amzn.to/2WVcmhb
That Kilted Guy DIY Home Improvement Ty sir great stuff
Where can I buy this
I put links to all my items in the video text description below the video and in a pinned comment for future reference. But here’s that info-
**ONLINE STORE & AMAZON LINKS** Here's a link to the stud finder I mentioned in the video. (we do earn a small commission on sales, but it costs you nothing more, so thank you for your support)This Stud Finder is selling like HOT CAKES. The Franklin stud finder -amzn.to/2SmUDgF
Did you ever try the Walbot?
It only works on Android, and I have an Iphone.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY and the Walbot isn't proven technology. It gets the same kind of ratings as all the other stud finders. This great one in your video is the best.
Thanks. New sub
Thanks for the sub!
Amazing tool. No more or less.
Perfect. Ya know us guys don't like to read instruction, just dive in, never admit if your wrong just blame the new tool.. After all you can't let the wife know you might have wasted your money, just bury it in your tool box and go back to driving nails.😅
I wonder if this would work outside over aluminum siding to hang an awning ?great video by the way
Not bad
good video!
How much
If you click the link in the description it will tell you the current price
I watched a video comparing 4 different stud finders over studs, electric wires, conduit, pvc, for detection... A major problem was it showed conduit as a stud! He did it twice, then said, that’d be incredibly dangerous. I canceled my order after his video.
How close were the wires and conduit to the surface? Pipes, wires, etc. are supposed to be located more in the center of the stud bay and therefore most Stud finders won’t detect them.
In all my years of using them, I’ve never hit anything like a pipe or a wire.
In my other video, I show how they detect density difference and if you understand that concept better, you can use them safely.
The other problem with that is, I’ve never seen electrical conduit run inside of a wall. Conduit is for the outside of the wall. Inside the wall they just run wires loosely. And my final issue is, you would need a screw that is roughly 2 1/2 inches long to reach far enough to even touch the conduit. And conduit is very tough and would be very difficult to drive a screw through.
Amazon for 59 Costco is 29
No Costco near me
This product does not work for me at all. Good video though.
sorry! Walabot
Would love to try it, but it only works on Android, and I have an Iphone.
Pro tip. Stop ruining the first part of your video telling me to subscribe. Just do the videos. People know how to subscribe and will subscribe if the content is GOOD
Many people are new to UA-cam so need the information. Many people appreciate the longer videos but for those of you who want it quick and short, Go to ua-cam.com/users/3MinuteDrywallSchool for my short videos.
Like pulling teeth watching. Over two minutes before he even started with the product.

My Craftsman works better than your Zircon.
But my dad can beat up your dad. Just kidding, lol. Craftsman used to be good stuff. That's good to hear
an add played before you showed how it works wtf
You do know that UA-cam is owned by google and they make billions off those ads. It's NOT a free platform, sorry. You can pay for the premium version like I do and never see an ad.
less time talking about subscribing and more reviewing.
It takes Money to produce these videos. He's retired, Give the Man a break, Geez
I spend roughly 50 to 60 hours a week planning these videos, filming them, setting up for them, editing them, promoting them, responding to comments, and all the things that go along with this business. I also spend thousands of dollars on the equipment to do it, and I even had to go through three computers and finally built my own spending $2500 just on the materials. But if you don’t feel that my time is valuable, you are certainly free to watch these videos for free and not appreciate my time because I can’t stop you from having some consideration of all that goes into this business.
stupid device
Lol
Too much talking.....not needed....video shows everything anyway....just demo with least talk better and saves time !!!
