Get a real stud finder not a HO toy.

How does that thing work?? I have had a couple of zircons and I think they are crap... I just got my first milwaukee tool(inspection camera) and could be open to more if they are decent,as I think the camera is

Any ideas what the electronics behind that one are?

Knowing TTI it's probably a Zircon with a big red plastic enclosure. :laughing:

Zircom had a license to use UWB micropower radar technology, but the FCC tied up everything. I hadn't heard whether it's gotten FCC approval, but when someone comes out with one, I'm going to try it, no matter who makes it.

We need access to those hand scanners the TSA perverts use!

We've got one of those, it will detect the aluminum in pex pipe in six inches of concrete:thumbsup:

I've been using a Franklin stud finder and have been pretty impressed with it after tossing a zircon in the bin..

Same here. Bought the Franklin a month ago or so. It's the cat's MEOW!

magnetic stud finders tend to work better...

I prefer magnetic stud finders since they don't give false positives. They either find a screw/nail or they don't. The CH Hanson gets rave reviews despite the fact that it's just a couple of magnets in a hunk of plastic. The studpop just came out early December. It's got a magnet that moves when it's over the metal fastener. Says it works on any kind of wall.

I just got a bosch multi scanner. freaking Junk!!! I found one stud in 10ft of wall. Maybe it will work better with metal studs but I doubt it.

The higher end Zircon work for me. I have not tried it on plaster but they work on double layer rock.

Nice I like it....:thumbup:

looks really cool. $185 on amazon with mixed reviews. A couple reviews say the cheapos work just as good.
