From HandyMan with Years of Experience. This is the ONE.
By J. Russell
I agree with all the high praise for this low tech simple and highly effective approach to the age old stud finding task.

I don’t recognise what took me so long it find this. Oh, I know. I didn’t recognise ‘this’ kind of powerful finding magnet existed. I was use to being frustrated by the always questionable(is it a stud or isn’t it) and undependable high tech electronic ones, and at the other end, the low tech low power ‘floating magnet pointer’ kind.

Let me tell you the vantages from much OTJ experience. First, different from the low power pointer kind, this one is much more prominent and there you may scan/cover an area much faster. Second, once you have located a stud nail it is powerful magnet sticks to the nail providing an sheer positive ID, different from an electronic one, and because it stays on the wall, it provides it is own ‘marker’ until you are ready to attach your thingy. No marking on your wall.

Now, keep in mind once you have located a nail, if it is not where you want to attach something in the horizontal direction, measure in multiples of 16″ increments in either direction to find other studs along your wall. Then move the magnet, to that emplacement to scan again to verify the nearest stud to your desired location. Also, once you have located your horizontal location, be sure your vertical emplacement point chosen to drive a more prominent nail or screw is genuinely a full length stud locating a nail above and beneath your vertical point using this magnet.

Bottom line: Its simple, can’t break, compact in your tool drawer, no marks(sticks to nail for reference point and is vinyl coated to protect wall while sliding/scanning), and may sub as a frig magnet.

Best Way To Find A Stud
By N. Bielecki
After using a potpourri of “stud finding” tools, I’ve ultimately ended my search. Short of high tech instrumentation not available to the usual public, this stud finder is as good as it gets. It’s amazing how we spend a lot of cash on battery powered stud finders with all sorts of lights and sounds, when all you actually need is this boring yellow magnet.

First Studfinder that actually works
By Fillmoe
Our house has lath and plaster walls that are covered by Sheetrock. It has always been very difficult to locate studs for hanging heavy items because of the thickness of the walls. The electronic studfinders are undependable. This one works astonishingly well. Just hold it more or less loosely and move it around in a sort of figure-eight motion. When it finds a stud, it pulls out of your hand and hangs on the wall. You may double check it by attempting the same procedure a foot or two lower. Great product!
