MultiScanner™ A200 Stud Finder Wall Scanner, Electronic Wood and Metal Stud Detector with WireWarning® Detection, DeepScan®, LCD Display, SpotLite® Pointer and ACT™ Technology

I seem to go through stud finders about every 5 years or so. They just seem to stop working well after some time. I usually buy the cheaper models, so I guess I should expect that. This Zircon is a step up from what I usually buy. There are a few things I like about this model (A200) and a few minor things I don't. The things I like are the accuracy when it finds a stud and the red light on center. The ability to show electrical is great. This is a new feature for me. One great feature is the battery indicator. I have found that stud finders are quite particular about having a fully charged strong battery in them. In the cheaper models you don’t know the battery is weakening and you start having problems or difficulties. Usually, a fresh strong battery is the solution. This one is no different. I installed a “new” battery but right away it showed it was low and the device has some operational issues. I found another new battery that was strong, and the device worked fine. Seeing the charge level of the battery is a great feature. The things I don't like are the size.... it is kind of large in my hand. Also, it is a little touchy with regard to finding studs, sometimes it reads falsely, you really need to go over a suspected stud a few times to make sure you have a stud. This is no different than others I have used. Also, this has a metal search, great for finding pipes and such. Overall, this is a good device for the money. I wish it was a little smaller and didn’t get false reading like it does from time to time but these are minor issues. Positives: • Nice large screen • Full featured, electrical, stud, metal scan • Battery monitor when low • Clear lighted indication of center of stud • Reasonable cost Negatives: • Rather large size in hand • Can get false reading sometimes. Honestly this is a good device. I think it could be made a little better, perhaps a rechargeable built in lithium battery instead of these 9 volts and a smaller more ergonomic design but again, this is a solid device that I expect years of service from, and my dislikes are pretty minor. Recommended 5 stars. This is my honest review of this item; I hope this it was helpful in your buying decision process.

Works as described actually it’s a little better than I thought it was gonna be does a very good job of sensing.

This thing is so much more accurate than my previous stud finder. Every time it marks the middle of a stud, it is actually the middle of the stud. In some cases, I didn't believe what it was reading. Only to find out that the builder had put two studs an inch apart from each other. And this thing marked them both perfectly. I'm happy with it.

exactly as represented and easy to use!

I had a big round of remodeling coming up, so I decided to upgrade from my old studfinder (probably from Sears 20 years ago) and go with this one. It's about the same honestly. I'll give it points for the nice display; if it actually finds a stud it does a nice job showing the center, but my old one was fine too - just sweep from both directions and split the difference. This one performs about the same as my old one in terms of false positives and false negatives. I've had to resort to guessing, knocking, and drill-every-inch methods more times than I'd like in recent weeks having purchased this. If you don't have a studfinder, maybe this one is ok at its price point. If you do have a decent one, don't expect this to be an upgrade. I'm looking at the Bosch GMS 120 as a potential upgrade to this one.

I needed a stud finder and choose this one because it supposedly finds multiple things in the wall. It works as described! I have used it successfully several times. It fits my hand well. It's easy to use. It's easy to read. I'm very comfortable with this product and recommend it.

This scanner works great my Navion RV and helped me tremedously for a smog check. Never change the chassis battery right before a smog check as the vehicle can loose all the codes needed to pass. I ultimately had to have the DEF tank replaced and then used this again to check when all codes were clear.

A very accurate stud finder with live wire warning. I guess the push button is design to save battery, but it would be better if there's switch to keep it on all the time. Also, it calibrats itself everytime it turns on. However, if you start somewhere already has stud, the reading will be off.

Best stud scanner with deep scan. I like the large display. Not recommended for tight spaces as it's bulky compared to other stud scanners.

Produto atende as expectativas, funciona direitinho

It gets good reviews so I thought I was worth the extra $ however it often indicates a stud where there is none, even with multiple passes in multiple directions

Not accurate as described

From researching online, this seems to be one of the best stud finders on the market - many of them don't work particularly well, but this one does. Have successfully used it for finding metal studs. The electricity detection feature also seems to work well.
