This thing does not work at all. If you press hard against the wall, the LED lights up even when there is no stud. Save your $$$$$.

This stud finder only has one LED. Moving it along the wall will often light up the LED when there is no stud. It is very frustrating. I bought a Stanley Intellisensor 77-110 for ten bucks, which has three red LEDs. When you pass a stud all three LEDs light up, and it makes a noise. The Stanley (and probably many others) work much better than this product.

I purchased this zircon because I was cheap and just wanted something to help me find a stud instead of knocking on the wall and listening to the subtle noises of finding a stud. I met my match trying to listen to find the studs in the ceiling trying to install a hyloft. I would it against the ceiling and hold the button and slide it across. Then the light would illuminate and I assumed I struck gold. A couple of strokes with the hammer and my nail was falling out. I tried it many times and it just wouldnt find a stud. Maybe it found imaginary studs but my ceiling definately has random holes along the top now

Lights up at a different spot every single time I use it. I have no idea where my studs are, thanks to this thing.
