About this deal

Cheapest it's been in the last 1 year.
3 DETECTION SETTINGS: Metal mode is ideal as a metal detector, while Drywall and Live Wire modes are optimized to act as a stud detector and cable detector, respectively
SUITABLE FOR: Detecting objects to avoid drilling like when fitting a wall cabinet or heating system, or for finding objects to drill into such as detecting wooden studs to fit drywall
3-COLOR INDICATOR: The LED ring around the center marking hole turns red for a detected object, yellow for a nearby object, and green when no object has been detected
PRECISE RESULTS: Apply voltage to the cable being search for, remove jewelry & gloves. Hold the device flat against the wall and hold it firmly by the rubber grip. Move it over the area at least 3x.
ITEMS INCLUDED: Stud Finder GMS 120, hand strap, protective bag, 1 x 9V battery

sorted byThat could be read two ways but for me its not a good sign.
Wouldn’t recommend.
Thing that it is good with:
* Detecting energised mains cables - assuming you ground it properly with both hands
Thing that it is somewhat ok with:
* Finding metal (frames, pipes, screws, etc) - generally ok
Thing that adds more confusion:
* Finding studs - unless you have a dry wall with a meter of void behind, it beeps at everything that's behind the wall and adds more confusion than being helpful, it can go on/off without me even moving the damn thing! (edited)
I think a lot comes down to recalibrating it and also following the instructions that state to run it over the area you’re checking a few times.
Once I’ve done this I find it pretty reliable at centring on the objects you want to avoid.
Admittedly in some instances with certain insulations it will just illuminate red across a large span of wall. If its plasterboard a discrete hole with a screw driver to have a poke about is generally enough to determine if it’s safe to drill externally.
