The StudSensor A100 is Zircon’s newest edge locating electronic stud finder that is sold exclusively on Amazon. The A100 is designed with a smooth, ergonomic rubber grip allowing for a comfortable yet secure hold for any size hand, at any angle. This stud finder uses the most recent technology in density detecting software and circuitry. The scanner has 2 scanning modes to locate the edges of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors, and in ceilings up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep. In StudScan Mode, the SS A100 locates the edges of shallower wood or metal studs up to 0.75 of an inch (19 mm) deep. Switch over to DeepScan Mode to double the scanning depth to 1.5 inches (38 mm). This stud sensor is programmed with a WireWarning Detection feature that indicates the presence of live unshielded electrical wires up to 2 inches (50 mm) deep when using either stud scanning modes. Finding studs using this edge finding tool is simple. To get started, install one brand new 9V alkaline battery (not included). Place the unit flat against the wall and press the Power Button to calibrate the sensor. Once you hear a beep indicating calibration is complete, continue to hold the Power Button and slowly slide the tool across the surface. The easy-to-read LCD will alert you as the stud detector approaches the edge of the stud in both scanning modes. Once the edge is detected, the patented arrow-shaped SpotLite Pointer will shine, the translucent base will illuminate, and an audio tone will sound. DO NOT DRILL HERE! Instead, mark the spot in the “V’ marker groove at the head of the tool and continue past the stud. Repeat the process in the opposite direction and mark the opposite edge of the stud. The center of the stud is midway between the two marks. Make sure to note whether the WireWarning Detection is alerting you to live, unshielded AC wiring before drilling between the two marks into the center of the stud. With the Zircon StudSensor A100, you can safely maneuver through the most complicated of projects with the professional confidence that comes from owning a Zircon.
WireWarning Detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical AC wiring while scanning in StudScan and DeepScan modes.
Patented "Over the Stud" Indicator and SpotLite Pointing System ensure the A100 provides trustworthy results
Ergonomically designed grip allows a comfortable hold on the tool for any size hand, at any angle
One fully charged 9V battery, not included, is required for the stud scanner to run at optimal performance to help you easily find studs and avoid hazards

Title: Love it
Review: I just recently purchased this and already I love it. I live in a mobile home so the studs are often not where one thinks they should be. This makes it very easy to find the center of the stud as well as how thick it is. My electrician was using his and I knew I just had to have one when I saw how easy it was to use and how well it worked. Happy with my purchase.

Title: Easy to use
Review: Very accurate. Great value. Light weight. Easy to use. Small enough to hold with one hand and mark studs with other. Grips on the side help to finder from slipping when moving across wall. Yellow color, easy to find in toolbox. Made to last.

Title: Doesn't work with tile, but nice
Review: I read the manual and noticed it says it doesn't work with tile, though the description doesn't mention that and someone in the reviews said it does. I have 1/4" ceramic tile on my bathroom walls, and this thing was all over the place. I just returned it. I liked the minimal packaging, but was disappointed it didn't come with a battery.

Title: great product
Review: It makes finding studs a lot easier. I use it when I hang tvs for people. It’s pretty accurate. if you want one more accurate I’d recommend the center-finding stud finder. For the Price you can’t beat it though.

Title: Good for the price and occasional home use if you can bear the cons.
Review: The product is simple and has only one job find the studs. It does the job well.There are 3 cons with it. I give it 3 stars. Truly deserves 2 stars but one extra star for the price.1. You have to view the display at 90degree any slight angle in your vision you cant see the display.2. It is bulky and you cannot use it near window/door trims.3. You have to slide it across the wall without lifting it even a single bit. Any hiccup and it doesn't work.

Title: I already requested my return
Review: I feel like reviews for stud finders should either be five stars or one star. It has one job (although sometimes there are additional features). If it reliably finds studs, that is a five star product. I did not have that experience. Half of my house was built in 1950 with plaster and lath. The other half of my house has been added on in the past 15 years with studs and drywall. This product has the ability to scan at two separate depths. I used the deep scan on my plaster and lath and it thought my entire wall was a stud. I thought I would have better luck on drywall but did not. I only need this thing to do one task. If I drove a nail or drilled a hole everywhere this told me there was a stud, my wall would look like Swiss cheese and I would still be looking for a stud. To be fair, I purchased this product because none of the stud finders I currently own seem to be very reliable but the ones I own have fewer false positives than this one so this is the one that gets returned
