Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After using two old Zircon stud sensors for several years I decided to give this one a try because of the AC detection feature. Bad decision on my part. I wrongly assumed that the stud detection feature would be as good as on the older models. Not even close. Brand new out of the packaging, I tried to install a wall cabinet in the garage this morning. Even trying it in both modes (stud scan or deep scan), the thing was just not able to consistly pick up up studs. I even brought it into the house to try on other walls. I'm not sure if the AC feature is having some effect on the stud sensing capability, but I really don't care now. I ended up having to go back to the old fashioned way (hammer tapping, trial nail, and tape measure). I'm really disapointed in this Zircon. Now I'm not sure if I even want to go back and try one of the simple models that I've used before.
