RYOBI Stud Finder with multiple LED's to indicate the full width of the stud. One-handed operation

I had to pierce a garage wall in a few spots before I caved and tossed aside my old stud-edge finder to pick this up. This stud finder is effective and accurate, and the multiple LEDs help provide a much more accurate idea of a stud's location compared to an edge finder. To top it off, this stud finder has an almost stupidly simple design feature that should be the industry standard: A button on the center of the unit that pushes out a punch to easily mark the wall behind it. The punch itself is effective enough to dimple drywall, but I think it would be easy to put some form of ink or toner on the end to make surface marks instead.The only drawback I can see is the price, but then again it could save you some drywall rework with missed stud holes.

I really like this product. It is easy to use. Ruggedly built and uses 2 triple A batteries that are easy to change. So far it's the best stud finder that I have owned. I have several Ryobi products and they are all excellent.

This is a good stud finder that works accurately without a whole lot of bells and whistles. I like ryobi's line of products in this one falls into it nicely.

Hanging a TV rack

The people who built my house didn't mind being off by an inch either way with the studs. I was installing library shelves that hang from 1/4" lag bolts that absolutely must hit the studs dead center. This inexpensive, easy-to-use device found a rock-solid grip for all 19 bolts. 100% satisfied.
