[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The StudBuddy is a very handy tool for locating studs. When the drywall is attached to metal studs the StudBuddy works really good. I was able to slide the StudBuddy across my walls where I have metal studs and the StudBuddy located the stud with ease. However when I used the StudBuddy on my drywall attached to wood studs it was not anywhere as easy to locate the wooden studs. The StudBuddy uses magnets for locating studs which is why I easily found my metal studs. When I used the StudBuddy to locate my wooden studs I had to move the StudBuddy in a back and forth and up and down motion on the wall looking for the drywall nails or screws that attached the drywall to the studs. Looking for my wooden studs took much more time than looking for my metal studs. When I eventually located a drywall nail or screw I could then move the StudBuddy vertically up and down to easily find the other drywall nails or screws in that stud. Once I found the first stud I the measured over 16”, the standard stud spacing distance, and used the StudBuddy in that area and more easily the next stud. The StudBuddy has a 6” scale on one side and a 150mm scale on the other side for quick measuring. It also has vertical and horizontal bubble levels which makes it useful for hanging a picture or a shelf. However I found the horizontal bubble level useless as the bubble was as big as the window it was located in, the bubble did not fit in between the two lines where the bubble should fit when it is level. I also noticed that the StudBuddy’s vertical level was not perfectly accurate and it was slightly off when I compared it to my other levels. Overall the StudBuddy is easy to use and would be very useful stud finding tool especially when used to locate metal studs. And it would also be useful for hanging items on a wall.

It does come with a built in level both horizontal and vertical. Also a small ruler on the stud finder. It did work on my finished walls and I did try it on particle wood I have unpainted in my laundry room. Overall it does what it claims.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first, this stud finder seemed a little "cheap" and outdated but once we read the packaging and tested it out, it's not bad. It's not the electronic kind that beeps or has a screen but it does stick to the wall when it finds a nail in a stud - so it does it's job! And since you dont have to worry about replacing batteries, it should last forever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very skeptical about this stud finder. To my amazement it worked very well. You need to do long narrow swipes but it worked great. Now I don't need to tap on the walls in hopes of finding the studs just to find my hearing was off and poking un needed holes in the walls with nails. The 2 levels on it are a great idea for leveling picture, art work and wall decor. you can also use the level in other applications other than on the wall. Definitely recommend this for ease of use, dependability and price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did very well for me being a beginner. I have never used a stud finder before and it was really amazing how it was able to help me find the studs with the nails and that way I was able to hang up my pictures and put up some shelving in the house. I have been very pleased with it only sometimes I can’t get it to “stick to the wall right but I didn’t find that to be a real problem. I highly recommend this product for anyone who needs to hang pictures, shelves etc. in their house. I highly recommend it to my friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always wanted a stud finder, so when I saw this StudBuddy, I decided to give it a try. I enjoy hanging super heavy artwork and framed mirrors, which require deeper anchoring. Until now, I wasn’t able to hang some of them due to their weight. It makes me cringe to damage drywall, especially in a brand new home. This StudBuddy found the studs behind the drywall with little effort. Just follow the illustration on the back of the package. I also love the two built-in levels (horizontal and vertical). The stud finder is lightweight and easy to grasp while searching. Best of all, this little device attaches itself to the wall when it finds a stud (wood or metal). It requires no batteries because it works via magnetic field. So, be sure to read the warning on the back of the package regarding keeping the device away from credit cards and electronics. Anyway, to my relief, I knew once I’d driven the first nail into the wall, it had accurately located the studs. This product is a much-needed staple to my tool collection. For anyone needing a superior stud finder, I would highly recommend the StudBuddy. You won’t be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a stud finder and it was OK but nothing special a little hard to use and definitely had a learning curve to it. But then I’ve never used a stud finder before so the learning curve might be my own personal fault. It is a little plasticky but like it doesn’t really matter you don’t need a sturdy stud finder and they’re not used all that often anyhow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stud buddy plus, fits in all out tool belts, tool boxes, glove compartments. Just about anywhere. Works great. We use to find the wood beams to hang up paintings and to find the beams in the ceiling. Using this makes out job much easier. Great price for product. Tool itself is made of a sturdy plastic outer shell. Easy turn on and off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love this tool I got it today and tried it On hanging a mirror you just swipe the tool Over the dry wall and it detects a metal stud It stops and sticks so cool it has a vertical and Horizontal level

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had just built us a new house. And I'm ready to hang pictures and decore up. I told my hubby to be in the safe side I was ordering a stud finder, to help locate The studs. I have hung decor and roughly around 50 or so pictures. It hasn't let me down Yet. Its very simple tool, that anyone can use.
