A stud finder and a drill should be all that’s required.

Get me a nail gun and a stud finder.

You can also invest in an electronic stud finder.

The less-expensive (under $5) one is a magnetic stud finder.

Find the studs with a stud finder if necessary.

A newer type of stud finder works by detecting density changes in a wall.

Electronic stud finders are available, but they are relatively expensive.

Start the installation by locating all the wall studs with a stud finder.

A much less expensive alternative is a magnetic stud finder, which works well on drywall walls.

Joe also relocates, not knowing how to use a stud finder and having abandoned his first choice of location.

Ms. Gibson pointed out that stud finders are often unnecessary anyway.

Also at some point, place the stud finder on your chest while your spouse is in the room and press the button.

While novel, these electronic stud finders did not always prove effective in locating studs.

Slide the stud finder horizontally across the wall at various heights to detect fasteners.

The second was no stud finder.

From below, use a stud finder or rap lightly on the ceiling until you hear a solid sound you've found a joist.

Get out your handy electric stud finder.

Instant stud finders are a recent innovation.

Electronic stud finders rely on sensors that detect changes in the dielectric constant of the wall.

A stud finder uses radiolocation when it uses radio waves rather than ultrasound.

Move the stud finder approximately 16 inches to each side of the mark and slide it vertically again to locate additional studs.

This works fine, at least in theory, for wallboard-covered walls, because the wallboard is thinner than the stud finder's depth range.

If the wall studs are not exposed find them by determining their locations from visible fasteners or using an electronic stud finder.

Since 1998, many developments and improvements have been made to the internal capacitor stud finders and increased their popularity.

Recent innovators developed stud finders with multiple sensor plates that sense the wall in multiple places instantly.

Magnetic stud detectors come in two types, stationary and moving.

Do I really need the stud detector?

While the instant stud finders have made finding studs an easy and efficient task, many people still use magnetic stud detectors.

Magnetic stud detectors use magnets to locate metal in the walling material because the magnet is attracted to the metal.

Moving magnet stud detectors use a neodymium magnet that is suspended in an enclosure and free to move in response to hidden metal.

While there are many different stud finders available, they all fall into two main categories, magnetic stud detectors and electric stud finders.

Stationary magnet stud detectors use a small stationary magnet to detect the nails or screws placed into studs while putting up the walling material.

The strength of this rare earth magnet and the easy movement of the magnet allow moving magnetic stud detectors to work on a broad range of construction types.

A stud finder (also stud detector or stud sensor) is a handheld device used to locate framing studs located behind the final walling surface, usually drywall.

If you've ever drilled into a water pipe or found it difficult to get a good fixing on a wall, you need a Rapitest Wire, Pipe & Stud Detector.

These may take a bit of finding - although an electronic stud detector will help - but once the batten has been secured, the kitchen cupboard (or whatever) can be secured to it with normal woodscrews.

Since stationary magnetic stud detectors rely on the user to feel the attraction, they can be very erratic especially when the metal fasteners are located more deeply in the walling which decreases the overall attraction.

The laboratory and the electronics engineer who invented the technology, Thomas McEwan, obtained a patent on a radar stud detector in 1995, and the lab has since licensed the technology to several companies, some of which expect to market radar stud finders soon.

To find studs inside finished walls, use an electronic stud sensor.

Another useful measuring tool is an electronic stud sensor.

In the Wall The stud sensor was the first electronic device to be found in large numbers of home toolboxes.

This stud sensor has audio indicators so you know where studs and live wires are and can read depths of up to 0.75ins.

Manufacturer of Zircon brand stud sensors and electra-r levels..

You can determine the direction of joists by examining them in an attic above the wall or by locating them inside a ceiling with a stud sensor.

A third worthwhile tool is an electronic stud sensor, which finds studs and other structural strengtheners in walls and ceilings before placement of shelf brackets or pictures.

Enter the Stanley IntelliSensor DigiScan stud sensor (about $40), which is the next-best thing to X-ray vision, at least when it comes to looking through drywall.

A stud finder (also stud detector or stud sensor) is a handheld device used to locate framing studs located behind the final walling surface, usually drywall.

Their ends may be visible after the aprons and baseboard are removed; if not, they can be found by drilling test holes in the wall or by using an electronic stud sensor; a hardware store will have it.

Chris Harrison, Stanley's global product manager for measuring and layout tools, said that like MP3 players and PC's, stud sensors have benefited from the availability of microprocessors that cost less and do more.
