minus-squarembryson@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoStud Finder. Knocking can get it done, but the surety of knowing is a nice to have for sure.

minus-squarecole@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoNo need for a dedicated tool, I’m right here ;)
minus-squarecole@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoI’m not saying I’m not a tool… you definitely don’t need a stud finder when I’m right here
minus-squarefinestnothing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 year agoBonus functionality: running it over your chest and making beeping noises to make your wife scowl at you

minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoI’ve got a basic Zircon one, but my handyman has this fancier one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Franklin-Sensors-ProSensor-M210-Center-and-Edge-Professional-Stud-Finder-FSM21012HD/317740851 Thinking of getting something like that. For a cheap option, you can also use a magnet that’s strong enough to find the drywall screws (assuming the construction is a wood frame with drywall)
minus-squaresat012e@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAdd a string and a small weight, and you’ve got a good plumb-bob to make the vertical stud more evident.
minus-squareNotnotmike@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoProject Farm did a comparison video thay may be handy when you’re in the market for a new stud finder https://youtu.be/sWMJhfMPWn4
minus-squareEpicMuellsTime@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’ve bought multiple digital stud finders, not sure if they were bad but didn’t even work half the time. Ended up buying a strong magnet and works way better since it finds the screws that hold the drywall up
minus-squareJust_a_dude@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoDo you have one you recommend? I bought one but either I’m not using it correctly(most likely) or it doesn’t work consistently.
minus-squareAux@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI have a Bosch one from their professional range. Finds not only studs, but also wires, etc. Super useful, but expensive.
Stud Finder.
Knocking can get it done, but the surety of knowing is a nice to have for sure.

You’ll get walls one day, Uter :)

So you mean you are a dedicated tool?
