Product Description

Back when the first stud finders came out, we thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread. But technology's brought those old stud finders into the 21st century, and here we have Strait-Line's Wall Scanner 150, aptly named because it does so much more than find studs-—it could save your life. Accuscan technology locates not just wood and metal studs, but live A/C wires and pipes behind three surfaces: drywall, paneling and tile. And funny how when your old stud finder lit up, you never had that pencil in hand to mark the stud's edge. You won't need one anymore, thanks to the clever built-in marking element on the Wall Scanner. Just press the button when the liquid crystal display indicates a stud and the unit beeps, and you'll get a clear mark. Since it runs on batteries, we think it was great of Strait-Line to give it automatic power on contact, and an integrated belt clip keeps the tool handy. Strait-Line left no room for improvement on this one.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Finally, a stud finder that works!,

This review is from: Irwin 6041705CD Strait-Line 150 Live Wire in Wall Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have tried 3 devices like this over the years. All of them were a pain to "calibrate" and did not work well. I bought this out of frustration a week ago when trying to find a stud with a Stanley unit which was very unrepeatable. This Straitline worked easily and very accurately first try. Also the marker is great! Highly recommend.

Seemed Like A Good Idea From A Distance,
By CD Junkie (Dayton, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Irwin 6041705CD Strait-Line 150 Live Wire in Wall Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)
When my old stud finder finally stopped working, I looked around for a replacement. I definitely wanted one that had a hot wire sensor on it. The Strait-Line unit felt solid and got good reviews so I picked one up. It also had a separate On/Off switch that looked like it wouldn't get turned on in my tool bag like the side button ones can. But here's the problem: After you turn the unit on with the switch, there's a small spring loaded button on the back that must contact the wall for calibration and use. This works fine if the surface is smooth. It's a real pain in the *** if you want to use it over grooved paneling or textured ceilings. The button loses contact and turns off the tool. I finally gave this thing up and bought another brand. On the plus side, I really liked the little "dimpling" marker.

I have used many before, but this one is the best. Simple and effective, the lcd screen is great and it's great for the money.
