This is a basic stud finder and voltage tester. The stud finder locates the position of a wall stud. The voltage tester indicates if there is a live wire. It has a fine tuning adjustment and an on/off switch that lets the user calibrate the sensitivity of the tool.

To use the stud finder, place the tool against the wall (holding the button down) and move it across the wall until it beeps. Make a mark on the wall at that location. That will be one side of the stud. Continue moving the tool in the same direction until the beeping stops. When the beeping stops, that's the other side of the stud. Mark that location. This tool may not give the precise starting and stopping point of the stud, but it does give a general idea of where it is. It is generally best to aim for the middle of those two marks to be sure to hit the stud.

To use the voltage tester, place the tip of the tool against a wire. If the tool beeps, the wire is active.

This stud finder will measure distances as well as detect studs. When this tool is placed against the wall and turned on, give it a few seconds to calibrate before it is ready to operate. This tool is more precise than the basic model.

This laser stud finder can be used with wood or metal. It has a rotating head in case there is a need to work off a 90-degree once the user has found the center. It also has bubble levels to indicate when the laser is level. Like the previous model, when placed against the wall and turned on, give it a few seconds to calibrate before it is ready to operate.

This tool will scan for wood or metal studs and has a deep setting for thick plaster walls. It detects electrical wires as well. This tool must calibrate on the wall before finding a stud. When it finds a stud, a green light appears as well as a sound.

This tool has multiple settings as well. It detects wood studs, metal studs, A/C, and has a deep scan setting.
