Review: Superb. Worked through lathe and plaster for me. Here are some tips.... - After my wife broke her hand, I needed to put a temporary bannister rail on the wall side of the stairs between the floors of our house. I first tried my old magnetic finder but it was useless, so I ordered the ProSensor after reading reviews. It turned out to be perfect for the job and was easy and quick to use even though this job was awkward. First, the house is old and has thick lathe and plaster. Second I'd repaired the plaster and lathe some years ago so there were metal screws embedded all over the place. Third, my temporary bannister rail needed to cross floors from downstairs to upstairs where the framing is different, and the floor framing gets in the way. Fourth, there is wainscoting and molding on the lower 3 feet of the wall creating obstacles and making that part thicker. Besides this, I absolutely didn't want to drill any extra holes. The ProSensor managed the job superbly. Its readings are almost instant! I love the way it shows the entire width of the stud. Tips: 1) holding it upside down lets you get it closer to some spots. 2) Use small squares of masking tape to mark the center of the studs. Then check at various heights to avoid chance of misreads using a bubble level or plumb line to ensure vertical . This increases accuracy. 3) You can mark a series of studs and check the distance between them for places where you may be in doubt. This also allows interpolating studs in tight spaces where the sensor may not fit. 4) if you can access the other side of the wall, mark studs there too, and compare both sides by measuring with a tape from a door jamb for example. 5) I found it best to place the sensor and then press the button. Moving the sensor around with the button pressed sometimes gave ambiguous results. I recommend trying all these techniques as there are often unusual framing configurations in older houses. Summary - I'm delighted with this device! It's essential for any do-it-yourselfer. It turns an awkward job into a lot of fun.
Review: Best Stud finder I've ever used - I grew up in a family of contractors. For us, a stud finder was a hammer and a finish nail we poked in the wall until we hit one. The other electronic stud finders gave too many false readings so they just gathered dust and we got really good at patching drywall. My brother-in-law gave me a Franklin Sensors stud finder for Christmas this year. When I saw how many sensors it had I wondered why no one had thought of this before. Somewhat skeptical, I tried it out. It worked like a charm. It lights up right where the studs are. Next time I visited my parents, I took my new stud finder over to show off my new toy. My dad and I tested it throughout the house. It worked on wood and metal studs. (We built the house so we knew what walls had wood or metal studs). The hammer and finish nail approach works but if you aren't into fixing drywall just to hang a picture, I highly recommend the Franklin Sensors Stud Finder. Any other stud finder will just gather dust in my shop. UPDATE 5/15/12 - I recently remodeled my kitchen and putting in new cabinets gave me the chance to put this stud finder to work. It was really helpful with finding studs and because of the many sensors, I could find and mark both edges of the stud. There were a few times where I thought I was getting false readings. Once where I was putting in the sink cabinet but then I realized the stud finder detects density. I was getting a reading where I knew there wasn't a stud but I have copper vent pipes and it was right where I expected the vent pipe would be. In another spot, it would light up like I had a stud but if I went above or below in the same area on the wall, it would not light up. Then I remembered that I patched a hole in the Sheetrock there and have a small piece of 2x4 in the wall to screw the patch to. This Stud Finder exceeded my expectations. You still have to use your brain so you don't end up putting a screw in a vent pipe but I am happy with the ProSensor 710. I think it would be nice to have a way to keep it on. The button works but sometimes it's awkward to hold it down. If there was a button but also a way to lock it down, I think that would be great.

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you find studs thru exterior stucco or wood siding? Thanks**
A: No, it cannot.  This stud finder works best with drywall.  If you're very patient and experienced using it, you can get *hints* from it that may help you locate studs through denser walls like plaster.  But that's hit or miss.

I've owned two of these sensors and used them daily on remodeling jobs since 2013.  I know what they can and cannot do.  They can reliably detect studs through interior drywall.  Beyond that, it's hit or miss.

Exterior stucco is too dense for it.  Exterior wood siding is too dense.  And note that exterior walls may contain metal lath or foil-faced insulation.  That metal will confuse the stud sensor.

Electrical wires and metal pipes will also confuse the sensor. 

Realistically, you shouldn't expect it to work for anything other than interior walls covered with gypsum drywall.

Note also that these sensors aren't very durable.   The internal electronics will be damaged if they're dropped onto a hard surface, so it's silly to call them "professional grade".  They're just cheap plastic.

**Q: can this alert you to AC runs in t he wall?**
A: no this sensor does not tell you where the ac runs are in the wall.

**Q: how well over thick second floor carpet**
A: I have tried using this sensor on second floor thick carpet and had no luck locating joists. Great on sheetrock walls though. I don't think that there is any sensor that will pick up joists through carpet and plywood.

**Q: Will this detect studs behind plaster and will it detect wires?**
A: Detect studs behind plaster? Yes!! In my 1930's lath-and-plaster house, it reliably detects studs - to my great relief after making about 12 useless test holes based on the readings of a Zircon stud-finder.

This does not have wire-tracing at all, though, but there are other devices (dedicated and also combined with stud-finding, I believe) that do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time, Every Time. Balls on Accurate
*by P***R on January 3, 2026*

Used my zircon unit for last two days trying to hang tv. Unit gets a quite confused on double studs, copper behind drywall etc. took lots of interpretation and retries Bought franklin 710 and damn. Worked first time and very easy to interpret. Tried over existing wall i knew was difficult because of venting and piping. If u want first time, every time. No drywall patching because you missed by an inch, try this. You can return if it doesnt work for you but you wont. This ones a keeper.
