Kreg KMM1000LZ - Kreg Magnetic Stud Finder with Laser-Mark - Stud Finder & Wall Scanner - Magnetic Stud Finder Tool - with Precise Stud Magnet

I ran across this on Facebook and immediately ordered one. When it arrived, I opened it and took it around the house to use it. The device works by locating the nail or screw used to attach the drywall to the stud, or finds metal stud. You may need to move the stud finder around a bit—think up and down, along with side to side— but when it finds a screw or nail, the magnet grabs onto it, and you can actually let go; it stays attached to the wall (or I was able to). I love the laser marker and level. I struggle to visualize a straight line, which makes it difficult for me to follow one to put in a screw if I am hanging or nailing something that needs to hit a stud. Now for the potential downside. If the build team was not so "on the mark" when building—and missed the stud and left the nail or screw in the drywall—you might get a false reading. I suggest that if you find a nail or screw, go up or down to confirm you find a row of them, not just one (or see if you find more nearby, which has happened to me). Like with anything else that uses a battery, I remove the batteries when I store it. Ziplock bags are your friend here, as I don't use a stud finder daily or weekly. This is a good device, and the addition of the laser and the level is an improvement on a standard stud finder.

I’ve spent good money on stud finders. This one keeps it simple and does its job. The laser is a great addition.

This is an amazing stud finder. I was skeptical how it would work through drywall, but the magnets found nails or screws in the wall and stick well! The laser and level are super handy to project the line up the wall and the laser is bright enough to use in a well lit room.

Having a laser built into it is very nice! I used this on my first project and it worked out well. I took away one star because the battery case isn't very strong and fell off already just by sitting in my tool box, the magnets could be stronger (nowhere close to the more basic magnetic stud finders).

Love this product! Buy one you won't regret it ever. I am a carpenter but anyone can use it it's so smart. Find the screws in the sheetrock and you find the stud, then the laser shows you where to put your screw without being in the way

This is the best and most simple stud finder I've ever used. I've had several friends borrow it for their projects and they all bought one as well.

The idea is great and the Kreg Stud Finder works well on drywall however on lathe and plaster wall, ours anyway, the magnets are just not strong enough to register the nail heads and certainly not strong enough to hold the finder on the wall to allow use of the laser. With the battery, etc, the Kreg Stud Finder is just too heavy. I would recommend, for lathe and plaster, a simple magnet with either audible (a click) or a visual indicator and which is 1/3 the price! In my testing it seemed to work ok for drywall walls.

Works as advertised. My new favorite stud finder.

Brilliant idea and execution with a strong red laser visible in bright light

product description could be better I was confused how it would work but still ordered. Glad that I did, it’s a great device

Buena luminosidad del laser durante el día, sin embargo solo se puede nivelar en el sentido del láser, por lo que cuesta trabajo ajustar para perforaciones a 90 grados

Sehr gut für Trockenbau geeignet macht genau was es soll und hat mir sehr geholfen in meiner neuen Wohnung alles fest zu bekommen.

Magnets are really strong to grab those deeper screwheads.....impressive tool...abit pricey but you get what you pay for.
