Stud Finder, 3/4-Inch Depth (CMHT77633)

This thing works great--when you know how to use it properly. You have to have the device against the wall before turning it on. While holding it against the wall, press and hold the button on the side (it will do one long beep and the light will stay green- DONT LET GO OF THE BUTTON), now swipe it across the wall. It will beep and glow red once you've found a stud. If you press the power button before contact with the wall, it will give false readings. It's a great bang for buck (I'm just hanging shelves nothing serious), but it's a bit frustrating to get working right away. Also it doesn't come with a 9V battery, so there's that.

Works well! It is a great price and even came with the batteries!

The stud finder works great, however it does have some quality of life features missing from it. When you find a stud the edge light comes on, however this light stays on throughout the entirety of the stud instead of showing that you are no longer on an edge. This doesn't take away from the performance of it, however it is a little quirk this stud finder has. Also, there is no laser that displays on the wall for easy marking, what this stud finder has is a notch in the finder itself to use for marking. There are also no changes in tone or any means of displaying that you are near the middle of the stud. If you are looking for a stud finder with those features, this stud finder will not be for you. What this stud finder does great at is quickly locating studs while being in a very compact shape.

I just purchased this handy dandy little gadget.TWICE neighbor girl came over looking for my 'stud finder' as she wanted to hang a shelf. borrowed her mine and then went online and bought her one for herself...told her she is going to NEED THIS little gadget FOREVER, saying to her,with a laugh, 'don't give it to your dad.you'll never see it again.' She loves it so much, I got big hugs from her for thinking of her. So I decided that I needed to buy another for my niece who just moved into her own apartment. Tell you what ,if you know young people who are out on their own and will often struggle as to 'how to' hang anything on a wall without it falling down (which ,in my own personal experience, looking back, would always be in the middle of the night, and it would scare the bejeezes out of me) This is small, easy to use and just about anyone who has ever hung anything on a wall, would love to have ! this is a great little gadget, saves one from having to make SEVERAL holes in the wall just to hang ONE thing! I remember my mother trying to hang things.alot of what she hung on the wall would have up to 5 extra unused holes in the wall behind whatever she hung up(laugh) This also works especially well for when you need to hang a curtain rod and want to be sure you anchor the mounting brackets to the stud and not the sheetrock....anchors work.kinda. Until they don't....then you're left with a huge hole in the wall from the anchor that pulled out due to the weight .( I learned this from experience, so allow my experience to spare you the pain of having to make repairs to your walls ,the way I used to have to) This operates on an easily found 9volt battery (not included). Will last for years!!!! It is an indispensable item for anyone who has ever wanted to hang ,or hans hung,anything of 'weight' on their wall.. It is well worth the cost effective price. it will cost you more to repair/patch your wall and replace what was broken when it fell off the wall because you didn't hit the stud. AND I really like that this little gadget lets you know when you are at the edge of a stud. VERY HELPFUL! You want to be dead on center when at all possible.especially if you're hanging a mirror..... not that I can say I don't enjoy the sound of breaking glass.....but it's rather dangerous to clean up that kind of mess. Yep. Everyone should have one of these.

I had high hopes for the Craftsman stud finder given the brand reputation, but it’s been a mixed experience. When it works, it does find studs fairly quickly, and the screen is easy to read. However, the main issue is consistency — sometimes it clearly locates a stud, and other times it gives false positives or can’t find the stud at all, even in places I know there’s framing. I’ve had to double-check with other methods or devices, which defeats the purpose. For light, occasional use, it might be okay, but if you’re doing more precise work or hanging anything heavy, I’d be cautious depending on this alone.

Worked perfectly on drywall to find wood studs. It only has one use but this one is cheap enough to not feel like its a waste of money.

awesome little thing for DYI. would be great if it had integrated battery to charge with USB-C. But it get the job done, accurate, precise and useful

I purchased this stud finder because all the great reviews. Did exactly what you were supposed to do to check for studs. I marked were the studs were supposed to be when I drilled it went right through the dry wall tried again, went right through the dry wall again. Should of just spent the extra money and bought a better stud finder.

Requiere baterías pero excelente producto.

Works pretty well! Beeps when you activate it, so hold down the power for a second before actually going and looking for your studs. It made installing my TV wall mount a breeze!

Used this stud finder to mount my TV, and it worked flawlessly. Found the studs accurately and made the job quick and stress free. Easy to use and reliable definitely worth it if you’re doing any wall installs or home projects.
