[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only used this item once, but it did the job. The magnet finds the nails or screws that were used to fasten the drywall to the studs. There are two levels on it as well to help finding the rest of the stud or even to hang a few pictures even with each other. Works well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The StudBuddy Plus can be a very useful tool for multiple uses around the home and even in some trade situations. There are two level bubbles. One for horizontal leveling and one for vertical leveling. On the edges, there are rulers. Inches on one side and metrics on the other side. The instructions tell you to scan the wall from side to side to find studs. That sounds great, but that's not the way it really works. You can't find wooden studs with this stud finder. You can only find nails or screws that are in the studs, using the magnets on the StudBuddy. If used to find metal studs, it should work as advertised. While the packaging says The StudBuddy Plus works with all drywall construction, in theory, it should work with wood panels or other types of wall board. So long as their are metallic nails or screws in those types of wall board.

[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.] This item is very handy. The magnets grab tight to screws or nails in the wall. There is a horizontal and vertical level on the stud buddy making it perfect for helping to hang items on the wall. So much better than a stud finder that just beeps when it locates a stud. This item will find your stud and hang on the wall on its own, thereby freeing up your hand.

[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.

[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 already owned the smaller version of this, just the normal StudBuddy without the levels and it worked great too. The levels on this one makes it a lot more useful for hanging photos and things like that! I used the StudBuddy plus to find a stud and hang up some art in our nursery. The levels were a huge help in that. Overall I really liked this one and will probably use it any time I need to actually hang things up on my wall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: magnetic, easy to use, works well, level, measurements, hands free, made in USA Cons: none The StudBuddy Plus is really nice! This stud finder is very easy to use and it works really well. The instructions for this stud finder are very simple and easy to understand. This stud finder works based on the magnetic field created by the nails/screws in the studs. So, there aren’t any batteries to deal with. You simply glide the stud finder against the wall within a 24-inch radius and feel for a magnetic field. Once you find a stud the StudBuddy will stick to the wall where the stud is, and that it. The StudBudy has small felt pads on the bottom, so it easily slides against the wall without scratching it. It works really well on drywall walls. Some places the stud finder sticks easier than others. The stud finder also has a handy level on it to make hanging things easier. It also has measurements on both sides. I really like how effortless it is to use. All in all, this stud finder is really great. This stud finder is very easy to use, it works well, and it has a built-in level. I would absolutely recommend it!

[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 was not accurate. I had to have someone else come fix the tv mount. When they used their stud finder which actually located the edges on the screen and the middle of the stud, my stud finder was off and placed the center on the edge of the stud, which is why my screw wouldn’t stay. I saw just buy a stud finder which identifies the middle on the screen.
