HANMATEK Stud Finder SF1 Wall Scanner 4 in 1 Electronic Stud Sensor with Depth Tracker, Unit Change, for Wood, Metal, Cables, Circuits Detect in Walls

Used to test it works and at initial testing it did. I put it against my internal stud wall and it was able to pick that up. Also tested it near some socket cabling I knew was located in that area from installation and it picked this up. Cannot complain thus far but have not had to use it for a project yet.

The HANMATEK Stud Finder SF1 Wall Scanner is a 4-in-1 electronic stud sensor that promises accurate stud detection. While it performs adequately in most situations, I did encounter some issues when using it on the ceiling. The stud finder features multiple scanning modes, including stud detection, metal detection, AC wire detection, and deep scanning. In most cases, it accurately located studs within walls, making it a useful tool for various projects. However, when attempting to locate studs in the ceiling, I found that the accuracy was inconsistent. The stud finder missed a few studs, which led to frustration and additional time spent trying to find them manually. This limitation may be due to the angle of the scan or the density of materials in the ceiling. On the positive side, the stud finder is compact, lightweight, and easy to handle. The LCD screen provides clear and intuitive readouts, making it user-friendly. The built-in marking feature allows you to note the detected stud locations for convenience during the project. The battery life is decent, providing sufficient power for extended use. The device also includes a handy auto-shutoff feature to preserve battery when not in use, which is a nice touch. Overall, while the HANMATEK Stud Finder SF1 Wall Scanner performs well for most stud detection tasks, it falls short when it comes to accurately detecting studs in the ceiling. For wall applications, it is a reliable tool. However, if you primarily need to locate ceiling studs, you may want to consider alternative options or rely on manual methods for greater accuracy. Pros: Multiple scanning modes for versatility Compact, lightweight, and easy to handle Clear LCD screen for easy readouts Built-in marking feature for convenience Cons: Inconsistent accuracy in locating ceiling studs

Very handy tool! The stud finder is accurate for detecting wood, metal, and live wires. The depth tracker works well and the display is clear. Compact and easy to use, perfect for DIY jobs around the house. Helps avoid drilling into cables or pipes. Great value for the price!

Not particularly good and poor at finding studs. Buy a proper tool Ryobi or another premium product

As described and works well

I'd love to do a video, but the cupboard is too confined yet perfect to demonstrate just how useless this product is. I bought it as I had recently purchased the same brand's digital meter. Just how different could their reliability be? As wide as Southampton to New York dock! So, how did I reach this conclusion you ask? In bed... literally. On my bed is a piece of 18 mm ply board, on that is the detector and my laptop. In turn, those are on top of an OTTY mattress. That is it. Image 1 (from left to right) shows the detector active... zero, zilch, denada.. not a sniff of a baton - agreed? Image 2 - it gets a twitch. Now whilst you cannot see this, imagine I am moving this detector mm by mm to the left then right. the bar scale fluctuates and then gives an edge reading.. over two inches from the edge. Image 3 - pictures never tell lies - guess what.. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes they do! Let me explain. The detector states there is a batan there - wait for it... when I hold it on both sides with one hand... What the actual ahem! I doth protest me lud, it must have a case of electronic woodworm! How can you detect a baton, only when you completely shroud the scanner with one hand - immmmmmmmmmmpossible! Moreover, how can it detect a baton if/when it doesn't twitch when simply switched on? It can't!! So, cupboard test... place it directly on top of a baton I know is there and... (see image 1). Correct, it does not detect. Ah Ha! Active deep scan (it is only plasterboard) and... zilch, zenada... Absolutely useless, as much use as a chocolate fireguard! Now check out the final image... enough said! Copper pipes? Not even when placed directly next to or on top of... Electrics, I wouldn't trust it if the other analysis is anything to go by. Water.. floods, electric, kills! Refund requested.

Excellent: Needed a 'Scanner' as we were putting up Brackets & Shelves in a number of rooms; especially in the Kitchen where 2 of the walls had both Water Pipes and Electrical Cables in them. This "Highlighted" Both (and Wall Stubbs) with very Definite Clear Signals in Flashing Lights and Beeping Sounds. It also gives a % of how Near and or Deep said Cables/ Wiring/ Pipes/ Stubs are at. Very Good Product.

Worked ok for the job. Doesn’t get everything but worked for what we needed

Product is not same as per advertisement image or specifications shown on Amazon portal. The function is also not same. Your money and time both will be waste.

Werkt goed en makkelijk

Echt heel fijn! Werkt naar behoren.
