Caution: Do not rely exclusively on scanners to locate objects behind a scanned surface. Some objects may not be detectable by your scanner. Use additional information sources such as visible points of entry of pipes and wiring into walls, standard 16” and 24” (41 - 61 cm) stud spacing practices, and construction plans to determine the likely location of hidden objects. Always use caution before drilling or cutting.
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE ELECTRIC, GAS, AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE PENETRATING A SURFACE. NEVER ASSUME THERE ARE NO LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN A WALL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, SERIOUS INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Just bought one, attempted to use it and ended up with countless positive notifications for stud edges.
What ? You mean false stud alarms
I thought I was extra special and just didn’t know how to use it, but lo and behold I’m not the only one. It can’t detect anything, even studs I found with the classic “drill until you find it” strategy. I hate myself for this being the one time I didn’t save the packaging or receipt. Dumbfounded that this made it through your QA.
This is literally the worst product I have ever used. It finds studs where they do not exist, and does not find ones that do exist. You can even scan the same exact spot multiple times and get different readings. It's more like on of those old magic 8 balls than it is any kind of actual measurement device.
Im having the same issue.
Works great. I've hung up television and shelving. Never missed a stud did miss wiring
wow! mine found the edge of NOTHING! it was great, drilled a screw into the drywall and into the abyss behind without hitting the stud.
Hi +Trucking Vapes. We're very sorry to hear that. Can you tell us more about your project, like what indications you received and which wall you were scanning? Our stud finders sense changes in density, so there are many factors that can come into play. Highly textured walls, lath and plaster construction, wet paint, metallic wallpaper, etc. can all affect any stud finder's performance. One will also want to scan in regular Stud Scan mode first (and only try DeepScan mode for surfaces thicker than 3/4 inch deep). We're not sure about your particular scenario, but we'd like to help. Can you please give us a call toll-free at 1-800-245-9265, Mon - Fri, 8am - 5pm PST? We'd love to hear from you. Thank you and have a great day.
It works very well for me.
Pretty accurate on every stud I find.
Don’t know why people are having issues.
It's made in China, so possibly depends on which factory produced the (s)duds
I thought I am using it incorrectly. Looking at all the comments, this is a junk. Any recommendations for a good stud finder?
I read reviews and thought this was going to be a good purchase, boy was I wrong. It has no clue what is in the wall.
Hi Mike, please give us a call and we'll be happy to help you figure out why your stud finder isn't working! 1-800-245-9265, Mon-Fri, 8AM-5PM PST
I use this with NEW batteries to locate every stud on jobs. Nice tool, there are better for more money but it gets an experienced user the job done 😁
been punching holes in my wall for years, thought it was just me, glad to see the product is just ass LOL.
Hey everyone trashing this product. Can you perhaps suggest an alternative that you found that worked? It would be helpful. Thx
Hi Bizzig TTV. We're here to help. We're available during normal business hours at 1-800-245-9265 Mon - Fri 8AM - 5PM PST and via email at techsupport@zircon.com. We can help troubleshoot with you real time. Hope to hear from you. Have a great day.
Just bought the HD55, returning it tomorrow. It 'found' a lot of studs, but would slide on the wall telling me they extended for 6-12'' after it alerted. Waste of money and time, will be returning
Hi +Terence O'Kane. In the chance you were unable to call, please try scanning for the left and the right edges on separate scans. In other words, when you're scanning along and the tool indicates you're on the edge of stud, stop the scan and mark that spot. Release the power button and move approximately 6-10 inches to the other side of the stud. Press the power button again and without moving until after it has finished calibrating, scan back toward your original mark to find the other stud edge. If what the tool is reacting to is in fact a single wall stud, it will indicate the other edge of the stud approx. 1 1/2" from the original mark. Repeat these scans a few feet above and below your original markings (since studs usually run from floor to ceiling) to confirm that what you found is actually a stud. Oftentimes, people will also notice a change in their tool's functionality by replacing their battery with a fresh, brand new 9V alkaline battery as stud finders require more current to operate than a garage door opener or remote control would. We hope this helps and have a great day.
Mines works great. Hung my tv. No problem.
I'm trying to use but it's not as precise
Im having the same issues. So frustrated. Lost my reciept so im not getting my money back. Can anyone recommend a better stud finder.
Hi +Maurice Travis. We're sorry that you're having issues with your stud finder. Can you give us some background about what you are trying to do and what the tool is doing so we can best help you? More often than not, replacing the battery with a brand new, fresh one will resolve the problem. For the quickest resolve, please do give us a call at 1-800-245-9265 so we can help troubleshoot your problem. Our Zircon Tool Pro experts are here and ready to assist you Mon - Fri, 8 AM - 5 PM PST. We'd love to help you. Thank you and have a nice day.
This 💩 doesn’t know what’s behind the walls. If you got one return it. It’s junk. You will regret keeping it
Hi R.E. Raven. We're sorry to hear of your sentiments with your stud finder. Please let us know what issues you may be experiencing so we can help get you up and running. Our Customer Service team is available to take calls Mon - Fri 8AM - 5PM PST at 1-800-245-9265 and by email at techsupport@zircon.com.
Having the real sound live would be helpful as the device beeps a lot and then not at all over the same area-confusing! Not as easy as it looks ( I’m a newbie, clearly).
I don't thin it works either😒
Hi @rhabdomere. We're sorry to hear of your impression of the tool. Please let us know what you are experiencing. We'd love to help you troubleshoot. Please call us during normal business hours Mon - Fri 8AM - 5PM PT at 1-800-245-9265. We're here to help. Thanks and have a great day.
just bought this one it's brand new and no matter what I do it just won't stop beeping and shows full scale the reason I bought it was cause I borrowed two other types of zircon stud finders and had nothing but issues and please zircon people don't even bother saying its an issue with the way I'm using it I'm very annoyed that can't make a decent stud finder and yet it seems like there the only brand out there
Hi Sal. We're very sorry to hear about your experience with our stud finders. Usually when someone calls in on the phone, we go through a protocol of questions so we can best determine what is going on. One of the first things we try to do is establish whether the battery is a wild card (and in some cases, whether the same battery was used across multiple tools). Stud finders, especially models with an LCD or backlight, draw a lot of current from stud finders such that using a partially used battery doesn't have adequate voltage to power the sensing mechanism. From what you describe, it sounds like it may be an issue of low battery, but we don't have enough information to be sure. Is the tool performing the same whether you are scanning along the wall or holding it up in the air? Another thing we can recommend checking is whether the battery has an extended expiration date of at least 2019. Please give us a call at 1-800-245-9265 Mon - Fri 8AM - 5PM PST. We'd love to help you. Thanks and have a great day.
OK thanks I will call
Mine does the same thing here always displays full bars ( yes I removed the sticker) and beeps . Like wtf brand new and brand new battery POS
I'm glad I'm not alone. This junk is finding studs non stop. Stay away from this product
If I had known this was a one time use product. I would not have bought it. I don’t even remember if it worked the one time I used it 3 months ago. Tried to use it today with new battery and zippo. Just picture 100 gazillion thumbs down right here>>>>>>>
Why is Home Depot still selling this useless device? Worst $20 ever spent. I literally made a half wall with 2x4 exposed to get a read on how to gauge my findings behind the wall. This thing kept beeping with no studs and completely missed actual studs. WPOS!
I found the same thing. Soon as it moved against the wall it would quite commonly start alerting. Muine also alerted to studs that were not there not to mention it gave different readings depending on which way i t was used.
you are lucky, I paid $36 for this shit
whats different between hd55 and L50?
yea this things trash. ive been for hours now trying to find studs to mount my tv and fuck that, where i know for a fact theres a stud it reads nothing and if the light does come it dont go off. total piece of junk. thanks alot zircon not only did i waste money on this stud edge finder ( i cant return since i lost the receipt) i have to go fucking but a new one.
Hi +SKITZO LOK. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and can definitely understand your frustration. Generally, stud finders will react to density changes behind your wall. We don't know if this is what happened in your case without more information, but if the thickness of the wall you're scanning through is more than 3/4", the normal Stud Scan mode may not detect any changes. Stud Scan mode is designed for 1/2" or 5/8" wall board only so that one does not inadvertently find other objects further behind the wall. In cases where one would need to scan deeper than 3/4" (because of thicker wall materials), one would use the DeepScan mode on the StudSensor which increases the scan depth to 1.5".
When a StudSensor indicates an edge, as it continues to scan past the stud (without releasing the powering down), the stud finder should recalibrate when it passes the other stud edge. If you haven't already tried, please insert a brand new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration year of 2019 or 2020. This may (or may not) solve this issue for you, but it'll give us a better idea of how we can help troubleshoot the issue for you.
We'd love to speak with you more and help you out. Please give us a call at 1-800-245-9265, Mon - Fri, 8am - 5pm PST. Thank you and have a great day.
I hate this thing. If I ever bother to, I’ll post a video with all my issues with this Zircon model. I get a ton of false positives, or it stays beeping. Don’t bother if you’re at a corner, near a window, or door. It also thinks there’s electricity everywhere.
This stud finder detects something at less than a inch even on deep scan.
Hi +Myles Underwood. Yes, stud finders will detect density behind the wall up to a certain depth. In normal Stud Scan mode, this stud finder will detect increases in density (from the area you calibrate on) up to 3/4 inch deep. If it is within that 3/4 inch deep, it will be detected. DeepScan mode increases the detection depth up to 1.5 inches deep, which is why we always recommend that you start in normal Stud Scan mode first and to only switch to DeepScan mode if you do not detect anything in normal Stud Scan mode. Hope this explanation helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us toll-free at 1-800-245-9265, Mon - Fri 8am - 5pm PST. Thanks and have a great day.
Bought one at Home Depot, put a new battery in it. It beeps as soon as I place it on the wall, any wall, in any room and it does not stop beeping. Read the instructions over and over to make sure it was calibrating correctly. It's a useless piece of garbage. Don't waste your money.
Hi thefourthsannin. Can you please give us a call at 1-800-245-9265 Mon - Fri 8AM - 5PM PST? We'd like to get more information as to the construction type of your walls (lath and plaster?), whether you've recently painted, whether the battery was brand new from the store with an extended expiration date, etc. Knowing the answers to these questions will help us help you better. Our goal is to get you up and running. Thanks the fourthsannin.
that’s happened to me I bought two different and both not working keep beeping the won’t stop
@@guanaco1080 Hi Oseas. A few questions to help us troubleshoot better. Is that battery you're using brand new with an expiration date of 2022 and beyond? If you also happened to use the same battery in both units, if the battery had insufficient charge you would experience the same beeping errors in both models. Another thing we like to note is to be sure the stud finder is placed flat against the wall before it is powered on and to wait for the tool to finish calibrating (short beep with the word READY on the screen) before you move it to scan the wall. We also recommend scanning on different interior walls around your home to establish the consistency of behavior since home construction differs. If you're still having issues, please give us a call at 1-800-245-9265 Mon - Fri, 8AM - 5PM PST. We are here to help and would love to get you up and running. Thank you and have a great day, Oseas.
it does't work

Was able to find studs just fine. Appears to be massive human error
Maybe you received one of the few that worked. It seems that many have the same issue. As a person who has been in construction for over 30 years and used many different stud finders, I can tell you this is not a good product.
I just bought it today and put new batteries in it. I drilled 3 holes in my ceiling and still haven’t found the beam to put up the hook 🪝 for a light in my daughter room. I’m so really 😔 and I stay downstairs. If I drill 3 more holes I know the people upstairs will permanently be living with me. I’m getting a headache I need to return this hunk of junk. Can’t find recite to take it back. I’m stuck in a real pickle and a hard rock

We'd like to help troubleshoot with you so you can finish putting the hook for the light in your daughter's room. We are here to help you. Thank you.
I have been through 2 of these in the same amount of days. These are garbage do not buy these if it matters. I went to a friends house after the last purchase and ended up drilling small holes in the wall to find a stud. The HD55 was off 3 inches. What trash.
I found what said to be stud, marked the center. I used the 1/8 but to initial start the hole. After going through the drywall, the bit stops going forward as if I ran into solid steel. What's happening? Must be steel and not wood? It's a StudSensor, not SteelSensor.
Hi Juh Dah.
The StudSensor HD55 locates studs by detecting density changes behind the surface. There can be, and probably are, other objects within your wall(s) that you need to avoid. These include pipes, ducts, cross beams, electrical lines, and more. To help distinguish the object you have detected, we recommend “mapping” the wall you’re scanning on. 2x4 studs run from the floor to the ceiling (except around windows) and are typically spaced in 16” center to center intervals on wide sections of walls. The width of a 2x4 stud is approx. 1 1/2” wide from one edge to the other. So, if the stud finder is sensing an object that is less than 1 1/2” wide, or wider, please exercise caution as it may not be a stud. Once you locate what appears to be a stud (via all the criteria mentioned above), the next stud should theoretically be 16” away. Locate it and “map” it. We always recommend mapping three of four studs (if possible) and scanning at several heights above and below your first marks. That way you’re more aware of where your studs are.

This is the biggest piece of garbage I ever used!! Unbelievable piece of s**t!
MAKES ME CRAZY... BEEPS EVERYWERE...
This thing a piece of crap, tells me there is a stud and there is nothing there!!!!!!! Complete GARABE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
What a bunch of negative knobs! As if it's Zircon's fault you lose your receipt...lol. I'm going to buy a Zircon hd55 tomorrow because I need to do some work. I will likely buy a new battery, install it, read instructions, and calibrate the unit before using it.
I agree they're a piece of crap
Junk junk junk
