@@PE4Doers i just got my hands on one secondhand from someone, so i didn’t have the manual. Was a little confused on how exactly the electric finder worked but you hit the nail on the head with explaining
@@imagaskabo Wow, I'm glad I was able to help. I really like that it it finds the center of the studs quite accurately. Devices like this have become much better since they were equipped with embed microprocessors.
Hello I want to put a floating shoe storage in my garage. I have the same tool. Metal was detected where I want to put the shoe storage but it’s between my four nail holes. Should I still drill there? The storage is 20 inches and where I’m drilling is at the 1 inch and 20 inch mark. The metal was detected at the 10 inch mark...
Do you think there might be a pipe in that location? You could carefully use a small screwdriver to test first, but a drill could puncture a copy pipe.
I am having issues with this stud finder - more specifically with the AC detector mode; I have calibrated it to the instructions and your instructions. When moving most surfaces it is detecting electricity and just constantly beeps - even if I recalibrate it makes no difference. Even tested on a wooden hollow door and it does it all over. This doesn't right.... There are tiny pockets of spaces where it doesn't beep on wall but 95% of the wall beeps.
The Electrical locator can be a little Flaky - that was the situation with the old one I had (that was lost). I think it is best just to take it as a warning that there are electrical wires somewhere in the vicinity. Make sure you always use hammers and/or screw drivers with wood or plastic handles when doing work in a vicinity like that.
Yes, I was. It depends a lot on how many studs are groups together based on how I have used it. When two are separated by a 1 to 2" gaps, it can get confused.
Well, it does a LOT of things, but I'm afraid it won't find the others. They are either buried somewhere deep in the layers of clutter I've moved around the house the last few months (which I will soon be adding to as you will see in my next video), or they have been lent out to others (with me either forgetting or not consulted with). Thanks for watching this video, it is one I don't expect a lot of interest int, however others I have thought that about have become the most videos I've created. So you never know :)
@@KathrinHausermann Um-mm, Not sure about that Kathrin. My plan right now is to completely block those three windows on the wall behind me with a drop-down paper screen when I am filming. She can definitely have her usual spot when I don't have the camera running. I hope that doesn't cause you to stop watching my content :(
I am really not certain about where, or how, someone would get that in southeast Asia. I am an affiliate with Yahoo in the U.S. market, but not connected with any of their business in that part of the World. I do apologize for not being able to help.
I am surprised you had trouble with it. I have had good results from it numerous times. One thing I had to get use to is not holding down the button the way other stud finders require that I do - that would continually reset the depth-sound measurement.
@@PE4Doers Actually your video is very helpful. I just got myself a tv bracket but my studs looks like 13 inch apart, that’s why started to research the videos online
@@aselkin I'm glad I could be helpful. Wow - 13 inches. I've only seen that when they were trying to go around a plumbing pipe. Do you have a restroom on the other side of that wall?
You are absolutely correct. I cough that verbal mistake when I was editing and decided, rather than voice-over, to pop up a text message correcting my mistake 5:40 I do appreciate your watching and pointing that out - sometimes my misspeaks get past me :)
@@bigalromero5544 Oh no, not at all. I make mistakes like that all the time. I catch them about half the time while editing, with the worst of them corrected with voice-over. I thank you for watching :)
Great video! The section "Tutorial on Modern Wall Construction.." was really helpful too!

I hear someone say to pay particular attention to the display rather than the beep(when the beeps are frantic)
Were you ever able to find the center of a stud using the device?
Yes, I was. It depends a lot on how many studs are groups together based on how I have used it. When two are separated by a 1 to 2" gaps, it can get confused.
Great little tool : )) I am sure now you bought it you find the other 2 "lost " ones very soon too :))

@@PE4Doers I can't wait for the next one :)) Add a resting Place for the Kitty so the Kitty can inspect what you do from afar :))

I thought I'd mention that one of the 'Lost' units was found about a week ago at my daughter's house.
Maybe I missed it but what’s the setting to detect pipe ?
I apologize if I did not specifically mention that. It is the I-Beam (looks like a large capital 'I') setting, which is for any metal.
I went to buy it. How can I get it?
I am from Cambodian.
I am really not certain about where, or how, someone would get that in southeast Asia. I am an affiliate with Yahoo in the U.S. market, but not connected with any of their business in that part of the World. I do apologize for not being able to help.
Horizontal fire blocking is not common nor required. Studs are 16 inch oc sometimes 24inches on centers.
Yes, correct. Sorry I said 18", I think I added a pop-up correcting myself. I thank you for the comment :)
Puede encontrar madera también?
Thanks you. How are you doing today?
One of the worst stud finders you can buy everytime I try to locate the stud it show it in a different spot
I am surprised you had trouble with it. I have had good results from it numerous times. One thing I had to get use to is not holding down the button the way other stud finders require that I do - that would continually reset the depth-sound measurement.
Mine came with battery
WOW, that's great. Maybe they realized i, or there were complaints. How does it work for you?

You sound exactly like one of my best friends. Are you Jewish or from the East Coast?
I am not Jewish but I have a lot of friends that are, and yes, I am born and raised (and still living in) New York.
@@PE4Doers Oh that’s why! He’s from New York too! It’s the same accent! Haha!
@@IamFreeRu Possibly, I was born in Brooklyn and now live in Nassau County. How about you?
sorry, but studs are 16 inches apart on Center

this product is garbage
OK, I use mine all the time.
