Franklin Sensors ProSensor M70 7-Sensor Stud Finder Wall Scanner

Amazing device that shows an accurate representation of where the cable, pipe or stud is hiding. It even has slippy strips on the back so it won't mark your wall.

I am 73 and I have bought many stud detectors over the years. I have equally found hem all wanting. I bought this model M72 as having read the reviews and what I wished to pay I thought maybe this one. Well on testing with a piece of 12mm plasterboard and a 50mm wide stud it picked it up no problem. I have lath and plaster walls in this old house. 25 to 20mm thick plaster and it picked up every stud. This has never happened before. However when tested on a skim coated 12mm board it had difficulty. Possible picking up the screws. Easy to use, Price not too bad. All in all quite good.

This is a genuine review. The item is as described. It seems to find floor joists no problem and wall wood batons. People say it works and others say it doesnt. If you get an idea from it where the joist is then slow the movement right down to give it a chance to pinpoint exactly and the green arrow will come on and show the centre of the joist. Another point here is, it says dont use rechargeables. I put 2 in to try it out as my alkaline batts dont come till tomorrow. It worked no problem with the rechargeables. The reason they say dont use rechargeables is the voltage is less in rechargeables as in 1.2v and in the alkaline batts its 1.5v -- So they could have people saying its misreading but in reality the voltage in the rechargable is a bit too weak, hence they just say dont use rechargables but its ok to use them if its reading ok. This can make some items not perform well and misread. But it was ok with mines. If you want to be sure of accuracy for a bigger job use alkalines. For quick finding of a wall baton rechargeable will be fine. Its a good gadget.

Works great on internal stud partition walls, but fails to work if stud wall is on outside ( brick) wall. Also fails to work on foil backed plasterboard. I would not purchase again due to mentioned limitations.

This is a capable stud finder and it does the job well once you get started. The multi-sensor layout gives a clear indication of where studs are, which is exactly what you want when working on walls. To be fair, they do state that rechargeable batteries are not suitable, so that part is on me. However, the fact that batteries are not included could be made clearer. It has a touch of that old sci-fi film warning about batteries not being included. The other irritation is the button. You have to keep it held down while using it, which makes it a bit awkward to handle. An on/off switch would have made it much easier to use and freed up your grip. These are small design niggles rather than faults. Overall, it works well, gives reliable results, and does what it is meant to do. Just be aware of the battery requirement and how it operates before you start.

Worked first time then after 2months in tool bag tried to use it again and would not work even with new batteries! Too late to return it!

This stud detector model worked really well and was accurate , I’d say within 1/2 inch of centre according to the middle light ( green). Go slowly on scanning and be patient for the mid (green) light to stay on Using a tiny drill 2mm or so to check for wooden batten behind the plasterboard was 100% for me, and all screwfixings were solid.

Works locating the studs for some of the dry walls in my house, but dry walls that have been replastered over a number of times without the old plaster being removed, it's not able to find the studs atleast on my walls that are like that.

J’ai pris ce détecteur de rails de placo un peu par curiosité au départ, et au final je ne peux clairement plus m’en passer. Pour repérer les rails derrière le placo, c’est ultra pratique et ça évite de percer au hasard. Il est simple à utiliser, la détection est rapide et suffisamment précise pour savoir exactement où visser ou percer. Depuis que je l’ai, je gagne du temps et surtout j’évite les erreurs bêtes (mauvais trous, chevilles inutiles, etc.). Que ce soit pour fixer des meubles, des étagères ou faire des passages propres, ça change vraiment la vie. C’est le genre d’outil qu’on ne pense pas forcément à acheter, mais une fois qu’on l’a, on s’en sert tout le temps. Très bon produit, fiable et vraiment pratique au quotidien.

Era muy escéptico, después de haber probado otras soluciones. Me sorprendió gratamente la capacidad de detectar objetos detras del pladur. Lo recomendaría. Aunque me parece bastante caro para lo que es.

This stud finder is a time saver. It is simple and functional. I've had other stud finders which require calibration each time you search and often giving false readings. This Franklin sensor is a 1-step device and accurate.

Works unsure… keeps flashing different over the same place, so i ended up pulling the fodder off to see the drywall screws and determine where the studs are. Disappointing…

Funziona perfettamente . Lo uso per rilevare montanti del cartongesso
