The Zircon multiscanner i700 is very easy to use and finds the center of the stud very quickly. It has a built-in marker which is very helpful. I have another Zircon multiscanner, but it only finds the leading edge of the stud; therefore you must pass over the stud and scan back to find the other edge and mark the center. The i700 is far superior.

I had an older Zircon stud finder and it was always a frustration. I bought this i700 Zircon and was stunned at how the technology had improved. It came with elaborate instructions and even a DVD, but I didn't need any of that. It was intuitive and took me about a minute to figure out. The battery was even included.

I tested it on a wall in which I knew where the studs were located. It was dead accurate. It has several modes, clearly marked: wood studs, metal studs, AC... It displays in red letters which mode it is in, and shows a graphic for the edge and middle of the stud. When you hit the middle of the stud a red beam projects straight out from the device. If you push a central bottom (clearly labeled) it will even leave an erasable mark. No need for a pencil. You can do it all with one hand.

This is the perfect stud finder. I can't praise it enough.

Very easy to use with an easy to read display. Highly accurate stud location. My only complaint is that the unit is rather large, but overall I am very pleased with it.
