Stud Scan DetectionDeep Scan Mode scans through 2 layers of drywall up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in StudScan Mode first. Question: How can I be certain the objects found behind my wall are studs in DeepScan Mode | Metal Scan DetectionTavool wall canner will locate metal studs in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes. Since Tavool stud finders are looking for a change in density behind drywall, not a particular material, in StudScan and DeepScan Modes the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs. After you detect the center of a object, Please Use Metal Scan to determine if the previous reading in Stud scan was a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe. | Live AC Wire DetectionWire Warning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep. For Safety, in all modes, this wall scanner always detect and indicate the Live AC Wire. Note: WireWarning Detection works in both StudScan / DeepScan / MetalScan Modes. The WireWarning Detection Icon will flash when live, unshielded wires are detected. |
The wall detector features large LCD display, ergonomic design and multi-sense technology for accurate detection of both metal and wooden studs. It will also detect live wiring up to two inches into walls. The four scanning modes (stud scan, deep scan, metal scan and AC scan) make it ideal for both tradesmen and home carpenters. With this device, you can immediately find a suitable place on the wall without making any extra holes

Step 1:Calibrate the tool before every scanAfter choose the mode, press and hold the scan button( on the side of the tool) to calibrate this tool. Wait for the reducing bars disappeared and beep to confirm calibration has completed. In stud/deep mode, put it on the wall where you want to detect to calibrate it ;In AC/Metal mode, put it in the air to calibrate it. | Step 2: Scan the wallHold down the button, then move the stud finder along the wall slowly, if shake or lift the scanner accidently, the device needs to be re-calibrate. The narrow on the screen togather with the beep signal alter, guides you to find the location of the stud. | Step 3: Find the location of the studWhen the signal bar is full and the beep alarm is loudest, it means you have found the center of an object.Mark it with your pencil. Then choose the Metal Scan mode to test whether it is a metal. After you confirm that it is not a metal, it means that you found the center of a stud. (More details refer to the above description of “Metal Scan Detection”)Then you can drill it to hang thing |

Easy to use, simple instructions even a novice like me found out where NOT to drill! Definitely recommend this.
I’ve tried several stud detectors and this is the best one yet, it’s not let me down it has always found wood. I have doubted it a couple of times but, it has always been right. One tip, when you calibrate it don’t move your hand position or fingers at all as it can make a difference. I would recommend this for home use, it’s a good price and does exactly what is says on the box!
This product is great for a beginner like me and I found it easy to use although I learnt more by watching short clips on YouTube than I did from the instructions that came with the device. But I liked that it came with the required 9-volt battery and found that it detected wooden spurs in a plasterboard wall with ease.
it took me 10 minutes to be sure I understood the results before drilling through plasterboard to find 2×2 batons. The result was first class. I have only used this once for a very specific reason, but I would definitely recommend this as a DIY tool
I was unsure how effective this would be at finding studs, but as long as you follow the instructions and calibrate each time it seems to work very well. Not sure about the electric cable detection though, but that’s not why I bought it.
It’s off by about 10. Mm but it was cheap so just make allowance for this
This product worked straight from the packaging. It took a little getting used to when scanning but once you get the knack it is very straight forward. By using the different settings you can get a very good idea of where everything is in a wall to enable you to place fixings in safe and secure positions. This saved me a lot of time and effort of wall tapping and hoping for the best. The rails that i put up are very secure because of their positioning. A great product that i would recommend to anyone and also at a great price.
Can be a bit finniky if you tilt it etc but found the studs accurately.
Similar story to others with the voltage detection. Utterly useless for finding wires
Haven’t tried the other functions yet (electric cable and metal stud finder )
But it worked well when locating timber studs For me to fix monitor brackets to.
Very cost effective and very quick delivery too
At first it didn’t work but after hubby left the room all was perfect, turns out hubby is a stud too. Was near as damn it for finding the centre of some wooden studs so as to screw into. Easy to use instructions as well. Only down side is hubby can’t use it as, he’s a stud too.
Personally I don’t trust the accuracy of this type of device but so far this has been ok, easy enough to use
I bought this to try and find upright timbers in old lath and plaster walls in our old house to fit floating shelf brackets into. I realise it’s not really designed for that. On a new stud partition wall, I found it to be 100% accurate. On the lath and plaster walls, using both the standard and ‘deep’ settings, I found it to be hit and miss and ended up drilling small pilot holes across sections of the wall, just to be sure I knew where the uprights were.
I’m not disappointed I bought it, I’ll probably use it again during our renovations at some point. Great for a modern wall built to standard, not really very good for lath and plaster walls in a period property.
I got online guidance of makes and models and prices before purchasing.
This is simple to use and will help me with my diy. Now I won’t have to worry about drilling in the wrong place.
Great Tool, and really did the job !
I was finding really hard to put a Tv mount on the wall, but then found this stud finder and made my life much easier. Well done !
This works really well in finding AC cables both in masonry & plasterboard walls. Just what I needed to be able to safely drill holes in a kitchen. This is one of several identical ones but in different colours that are on Amazon & was the cheapest price this week.
Works perfectly for finding screws and nails embedded in wood. Used to make sure no metal was present in some used decking before putting it through a thicknesser. Definitely saved me from hitting hidden metal. Highly recommended.
Have used this a couple of times now, mainly to locate timber battens in stud walls and ceilings. The stud finder mode was absolutely bang on accurate, 100% of the time. The only reason I haven’t rated this 5 stars for accuracy is because I haven’t used all the features yet. What I would say is that it is dead easy to use – you press a button to calibrate (which takes a couple of seconds) and then away you go. Move it across the wall and it’ll detect both edges of the batten as well as the center. Great value.
Have been looking to purchase one for a while and struggled to identify a decent one with good reviews. But this one is brilliant, and is now used every weekend when we’re doing diy. Instructions are simple to understand and the product is ideal. Would highly recommend to anyone looking at getting a stud finder.
Good value for money, love the accuracy this product works. It helps to inspect the walls before drilling to avoid damage to electrical wires.
This device is easy to use, instructions are very clear. The accuracy is correct for studs but need to cross check again for live wires which seems a bit little less accurate as it showing lightening mark for a wide area as electric are there but it seems the live electrics are within small area. Deep scan for metals is good and accurate
Just purchased this to use on my renovation project. So far it seems pretty accurate locating timber studs on partition walls (the centre & edge functions are clever). On electrical wires I haven’t tried enough to comment. Advice is to read the instruction before trying out of the box as you have to understand how to “set” it on the wall before scanning. At the price I’m happy so far.
Really helpful device which made our life much easier to find beams behind the wall to hang our TV on the wall. It needs some calibration evey time it’s used but otherwise it works fine. Really recommended!
Product is really easy to operate, the screen is bright and backlit well. I tested it immediately and found it worked really well. I needed to find studs and cable when putting shelves up. Couldn’t have done it properly without one of these!
All round a very decent piece of kit, especially for the price. I used to have a Zircon e50 which I bought for 35 or so, but this is better, as the other one has no function to detect metal. I bought this stud finder to look for wires in the wall. It detects electricity by scanning for the magnetic field created by the flow of current, and where it doesn’t exactly show where the wires are (because the magnetic field can be significantly larger than just the area of the wires), I find it v useful to first detect if there is an eletrical field with the electricity sensor, and then use the metal sensor to detect where the actual wires in the wall are. It picks up wall studs very accurately as well. Whereas it doesn’t show exactly where electrical wires are, a stud finder that does will cost upwards of 400, so this one for less than 20 is brilliant for the function and the price.
Excellent item- quite literally a lifesaver when checking for AC voltage when drilling holes close to power source for constructing the stairgate around our fireplace- also great for finding studs and hasn’t let me down yet. Would highly recommend.
Very impressed with this device based on the amount paid. Totally outperforms my much more expensive German device, especially with studs below the surface. Would certainly reccommend this product. The ratio of price to performance is excellent.
It definitely help me to know where to add some shelves. So far I am very happy with it.
As you can see in video, there is a few metal beams above the toilet where I wanted to add two shelves.
I used it a lot and didn’t disappointed.
Great with electric sockets too.
I have yet to use this stud finder tool in earnest, but after trying it out it seems to be working okay. To be fair I don’t feel that I can fully comment as to overall rating and accuracy until I’ve given it the loyalty test.
The product is very user friendly and helps you detect studs, wiring (atleast the 2 I used) and other quite effectively. Simple product to just get out of the box and start using even if you are an amateur like me or a professional.
It got a little confused occasionally, so i scanned the wall a few times until it was giving consistent reading and was able to locate the studs. The electricity scanner seems to be hyper sensitive and therefore not that useful as was constantly showing an alert even tho i knew i was way off from a buried cable, however i didnt purchase this device this purpose so didnt bother me
Bought this Tavool product to help me locate live wires behind stud partitioning in my house. As a novice DIYer I didn’t want to electrocute myself installing shelving on walls and blacking out the neighbourhood in the process. This product as very easy to use, the instructions were self explanatory – just calibrate and scan. I liked the feature that the wire icon displays regardless of the mode chosen as a safety feature. Overall, this was an excellent purchase at a superb price point, extremely accurate and instructions that my child could follow.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Tavool product to other DIYers for peace of mind.
Great little gadget to use as a guide for finding studs, metalwork and cables before drilling/cutting holes anywhere and causing unnecessary damage.
Would definitely recommend for the price and it even comes with a battery so it can be used straight out the box.
Should be in every tool box, DIY or Tradesman.
Best i have used being a Plumbing & Heating Eng.
Seems to work well, found studs where my last scanner did not. Simple to use, the photos and videos on the listing helped me know what to expect.
All plastic, which is good as I thought it might be covered in rubbery plastic which eventually gets sticky
Very easy to set up and use, very sensitive to electric put batterie supplied in and used it immediately.
Easy bit bit of kit to use
The product itself is easy to use and easy to figure out. The instructions are relatively clear, although with grammatical errors. Diagrams of the product within the instructions are less clear to decipher readings from.
The product seems fairly accurate although, following the instructions to the letter, when looking for active wires, I’ve had three different results returned from scanning the same spot of a bathroom wall. Another spot of the flat, this product returns a very different result to the wire scanner I had previously leaving me a little shaken in confidence.
That being said…I haven’t hit any live wires yet!
Great little tool for finding wooden or metal studs in wall whilst avoiding any electrical cables, even has a deep function, I needed it to fit tv bracket to wall, Great value I would highly recommend
I ordered this tool at the request of my husband, he says it’s great value for money, easy to use and does exactly what it he needs it to do. An excellent buy he’s really very pleased.
I’ve just got into DIY and was told I needed a stud finder so I do not hit a pipe, electrical wire, etc. This is a great stud finder and I’ve already used it 4 times in one day. Once showing me where an electrical wire was! It kinda saved my life I guess.
It came the next day, well packaged and it comes with a battery too which was a bonus. Very happy indeed!
Great piece of kit for the everyday DIY handyman.
Although it doesn’t say in the write up I’m glad to find out it picks up on plastic water pipes !! This is a great thing for new build buyers needing to find the goings on behind their walls.
I needed the device to identify stud woodwork to mount shelves and weight bearing hooks into insulated plasterboard in a newly renovated room. The fact that it identifies electrical wiring is of course a useful bonus but I haven’t yet fully tested its accuracy in this respect but it seemed accurate in identifying wiring where it was likely to be. As for wooden studs, pressing it gently flat (so as not to score the paintwork), it uses its arrow indicators to show where the centre of the studwork is located, see photos. Right arrow means move to the right and left the opposite until you reach the centre. It pinpointed accurately potential woodwork for me to drive screws into safely. Also, you need to calibrate it each time you use it or want to identify a different type of hidden infrastructure, but this takes only a few seconds. A slight criticism is when moving it across the wall, you have to watch when holding it not to accidentally repress the calibration button on the side of the unit.
Great little gadget! Very easy to use, found instructions good, the device is so simple I didn’t really need them. We just moved house and this has been invaluable when hanging shelves and pictures. It wasn’t expensive but can’t fault it.
I tested this product on a wall I could see behind and it found the studs and wires easily (no pipes in the wall). It didn’t always get the edge of the stud right but it found the centre. I then used it on a wall to hang a TV and it did the trick. It’s easy to use and a steal at the price.
Bought the scanner as I live in a mid terrace 1900’s house with some old stud walls and cables all over the place! I received it today and carried out tests on both studs and location of cables (known and unknown cable positions). It was really accurate with the shallow live cables that I knew about, but seemed to pick up some random or ghost signals where I didn’t believe there were cables or possibly picking up on some of the neighbours cables as mid terrace?). So I recalibrated regularly and made a couple of passes to confirm. The location of studs was great and seemed to be really accurate – very useful tool to give a little more reassurance and caution, especially using power tools like drills and cutting channelling for chasing new cables with the multi-tool. Value for money – thought it was great!
Prompt delivery of this essential device. Great for all DIY tasks when wanting to avoid pipes & find studs in a wall.
The unit is easy to use and I’ve found it to be extremely accurate. A great piece of ki
I bought this item so I could accurately find wall studs to mount a TV bracket. For the price I paid an for the accuracy of the product I got it mounted first time without issue.
Issue could have been the accuracy not finding the centre of the stud but it shows the centre and tell you whether you need to move left or right.
It also finds electrical wires as well which on my wall was a concern with sockets and switches.
Being handled by Amazon I got shipping very quickly, with the wall mount(other seller) by DPD so overall for the value I paid, the accuracy I give it top marks.
Is it better than the other more expensive versions? I don’t know but based on what I needed it for it worked perfectly.
I didn’t want to die so I bought this so that I could DIY with confidence I recently used this to drill a coat hanger on the walland did not want to electrocute myself.I like how easy it is to use as I hate having to read a load of I instructions it also Comes with battery so you get get started straight away
This is a great product. Simply fit the supplied battery switch on and off you go. Found the studs with ease and notes the centre of each stud. With a button push you can switch to deep stud finder, metal and electricity cables. Saved me lots of time and wall tapping !.
Received yesterday and tested within minutes, the fact you do not have to press and hold the calibrate button when scanning really makes a difference. Found pipes,cable and studs in a wall which previous stud finders failed.
Fairly happy with the tool will make future jobs much more efficent.
Trying to decorate an old house is difficult, no map where electric cables are
Thanks to this clever machine the diy guy was able to hang mirrors, clocks and picture on the walls
First tried where cables are visible and seems to be accurate.
Cost effective and has helped save me from drilling through a live wire to affix a mirror to my wall in my bathroom. To me this is an essential product to use and I only wish I could’ve invested in this sooner!
Following some lengthy home remodelling and redecoration work, which included hanging some rather large/heavy mirrors requiring multiple fixing points, I needed to locate and avoid before drilling any holes, some central heating pipes and electrical cables concealed behind the existing drylining. So, went onto Amazon and after some deliberation, chose this particular device after reading some of the reviews – both positive and negative – and the fact that it was reasonably priced, which, in my case, was an aspect because it’s only going to be used infrequently. After unpacking and reading the simple instructions, I found it very easy to calibrate and use with its large, easy to read screen; most importantly, it accurately located the pipes and cables I was wishing to avoid before undertaking any drilling work. All mirrors are now securely fixed to the walls with no dramas, so this device gets a thumbs-up from me.
I purchase dthe Stud Finder to hang a tv on my wall and it was fantastic easy to use, the accuracy was spot on and even on the stud only setting, it showed where electrics where behind the walls! Great bit of kit, highly recommended .
Used to found a wall stud to mount a tv. Does what it says on the tin- it found the stud right away. Accurate, efficient, easy to use, and brilliant value for money! Cheapest in town! Every other company price started from 30 to 600 and doesnt do anything different to this product.
This stud-finder works a treat, finds the edges of battens and then tells you where the centre is on its large simple display. I found it a bit sensitive for electrics, but you certainly know they are there! Great value for money, I bought it after reading reviews from customers in USA, and I’m very happy with it.
I purchased this Tavool stud finder which was recommended in an online review (not Amazon). I needed to find a good fixing in an internal wall for a heavy TV. My house is about 115 years old and has had much alteration. The Tavool stud finder calibrated quickly and established that the wall was solid, but also revealed a live lighting cable behind the plasterwork.
I feel confident now about where I can safely drill. The device will be invaluable for many other jobs
I found this scanner accurate and very user friendly. It will be a very helpful addition to my toolbox.
I’ve owned about five different detectors most of which cost significantly more and didn’t work as well as the Tavool. It’s early days but my initial tests have been very positive with the detector discovering studs, cables and pipes with no bother. Seems like great value for money.
We already had something similar but it was a bit old and technology has moved on. I like the fact that there is a visual reading and it actually tells you when you’re at the centre of a stud. Not had to use it for anything else just yet but happy so far.
