Better than more expensive brands

I couldn’t find a stud using my more expensive Stanley stud finder, found this read the reviews and bought one. Used it the first time yesterday and it was easy to use, accurate and fit well in my hands.

ProSensor M50 Hits it Out of the Park

I've used other stud finders but the ProSensor M50 feels good in your hand ergonomically and is super easy to use. It'll definitely do more than hang pictures. I've already used it in a construction setting and it performed very well. I feel like I can throw it in my tool box without worrying about it getting damaged. I'd buy it again except I don't think I'll need to.

Not as good as I expected.

It worked, but not as well as I expected. I had to run it across a stud 3-4 times to get a good reading. In all, I will keep using it, but I will be sure to go very slowly and double-check the location of studs each time I use it.

Broken Pieces Before Using - Sensor Lights Acting Oddly

I bought the Franklin Sensors ProSensor M50 from Amazon. A friend recommended this brand and proclaimed it the best for the price. I opened the battery compartment door of a brand new product just out of the package and - SNAP! The thin, flimsy piece of plastic designed to hold the door shut broke off. The battery compartment will not stay shut now.I did test out the sensor to see how it worked, in case I wanted to get a replacement. The sensor does not work properly. It has 5 lights on it to identify where the stud is located. The sensor would not light up any lights going across a stud from left to right, but would light up if being moved from right to left on the wall over the same stud. I also noticed that I would have the first 3 lights on (far outside, next, and middle) showing a stud. Then, after moving the sensor maybe 1/4" suddenly only 1 light was on. I don't know how a 1.5" wide stud could almost vanish in 1/4" of movement like that. The lights were dancing around a lot like this. It was bizarre and unusable. I had areas in my house where items were secured to studs with the help of a friend and his stud finder previously, so I know where the stud is located. This sensor was a bad guess and not an accurate measurement. Zero confidence this Franklin Sensors product knows what a stud is.I called a phone number for Franklin Sensors on a card inside of the package with the sensor. No one answered and no one returned the call after a few days before writing this review. I tried to give the company a chance and see how the customer service would be. But, no one even attempted to defend the garbage product I had bought. Sending this back to Amazon, and probably looking at another brand (or at a minimum another model without these flaws).

Worked great once

Used it after I got it to hang a tv and it was awesome. Next time I got it out to use it the button is jammed up. Don't know of anything that happened to it. Not sure if it was the way it was sitting in the pocket of my tool bag or what, but for the price it doesn't seem very sturdy.
