Good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this on a whim for an impromptu project. Works as expected, but the instructions could be a little more clear since this doesn’t work quite like a typical stud finder.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally got around to replacing my 25+ year old stud finder. Not sure what took me so long. This one works so much better! It's a smooth glide and detects the stud, particularly the center, just as noted. I am very pleased and highly recommend it.

Highly inaccurate stud finder
I bought this stud finder based on the somewhat positive reviews and the fact that it uses triple-a batteries vs 9v. I have a drawer full of triple-a's but never keep 9v on hand.
Anyway this thing sucks. It can somewhat point out the general vicinity of a stud, but youll need another method to locate the center. I can make multiple passes at the same stud, but the stud finder will say the center is anywhere within a 1-1.5 inch area. I bought this finder to find the CENTER, not an estimate of where the center is. I'm installing a wall mount kit for my TV, and the lag bolts are pretty thick so they need to go exactly into the center of the stud. Ill be returning this for something more accurate. I think this item has a lot of fake reviews to make the rating higher.

It gets an ehh
I spent a little more expecting a little higher quality. Craftsman proved that wrong. You are better off sticking with zircon at half the price. The accuracy is off by half an inch either direction. It also tells me I have ac wires every 6 inches no matter what direction you move it.

Finds everything!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this about a month ago and im so happy with it! The Craftsman stud finder not only senses wooden and metal studs but live A/C wire as well. It tells you to move left or right and alarms you when your directly on it and has lights to tell you what its sensing. This is by far the best stud finder I've ever used and i find any reason to use it and makes hanging my decor so much easier. I work in maintenance and this product comes in handy more than i thought it would. Its well worth the money!

Works well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not the best but far from the worst. It is a good value for all that it does but I have got it to false hit for a stud but I always check 2-3 times that fixes the issue for me. Has worked great for what I have used it for.

Garbage
Bought this to replace a stud finder I have had for 6-7 years thinking technology would improve and it would work better. Absolutely useless. I have not found a single stud with this.
