Best Stud Finder Wall Scanner - 5-in-1 Tool for Studs, Wires, Pipes

Whether you are hanging pictures, putting up new shelves, or starting an addition, knowing the location of wall studs can be extremely helpful. A reliable stud finder can make the difference between a successful DIY home project and a disastrous one, which is why this tool is so important.

The JAXWQ stud finder uses upgraded smart sensors to detect changes in wall density and accurately locate the center of studs. This eliminates the need to drill numerous error holes when mounting TVs, shelves, coat hooks, and other items on drywall.

To use the AC scan mode, first place the tool in the air and press the on/off button to turn it on. Select the AC mode, then press the calibrate button. Once the decreasing bars disappear and a beep sounds, the calibration is complete. Place the entire device against the wall and slowly slide it across the surface. Mark the location where you get the strongest AC indication, represented by the top arrow and a steady beep. Continue scanning in both directions to identify the midpoint, which indicates the center of live AC wiring.

This stud locator has three scanning modes. The deep scan mode detects studs up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep, while the standard stud scan mode is best used first to minimize false positives. After finding an object's center, switch to metal scan mode to determine if it is a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe.

The JAXWQ wall detector can locate metal studs in all its scanning modes. Since it is detecting density changes, not a specific material, metal studs will register the same as wooden ones. The wire warning detection feature indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep, ensuring safety during use.

To scan, first calibrate the tool by pressing and holding the calibration button while the device is against the wall (in stud/deep mode) or in the air (in AC/metal mode). Then, release the button and slowly move the stud finder along the wall. If you accidentally shake or lift the scanner, it will need to be re-calibrated.

When the signal bar is full and the beep is loudest, you have found the center of an object. Mark this spot, then switch to metal scan mode to test if it is a metal object. If not, you have located the center of a stud, and can proceed with drilling or hanging items.

This stud finder makes an excellent, practical gift for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike. Its accurate and rapid detection, multiple scan modes, high visibility display, and wide range of applications make it a valuable tool for any household. Give the gift of convenience, efficiency, and safety this holiday season.
