You don’t have to run out to the store, like you do, with these, to replace the batteries every time you reach for it. I don’t really remember, remember I don’t even know magnetic stud finders, on the other hand, are purely magnetic. I think the electronic ones are well, I don’t know they’re either capacitance based or they’re ultrasonic. I found that the most reliable way for me to find studs in a plaster wall was to use a magnetic stud finder. If you know of one, please do drop me a comment down below and let me know what I do know is through all that market research. They may have changed that since then, but I’m not aware of an tronic stud finder that works reliably with plaster walls. So what I learned after a little bit of market research is that electronic stud finders at least back then didn’t work reliably with plaster walls they. I mean, I think I probably drilled like 12 holes in the wall and when I finally did find the stud I would like swipe this back and forth over the stud and it wouldn’t detect it at all. I think in my apartment before I moved here and it worked great, but it didn’t work at all on plaster and the first time I tried was just a god-awful mess. Is you just hold it up to the wall and drag it around and when it lights up, you should have a stud so that works fine on drywall. They don’t make the particular model anymore, but zircon still makes some of these takes a 9-volt battery, and you know the way it works. So when I moved in in 2010, I needed a way to hang things like canvas prints, or you know anything really on the walls, and I didn’t have a good way to do that, because all I had at the time was this zircon eye sensor, electronic stud Finder now I don’t think they make this particular brand anymore or they make the brand. ![]() So this is an old 1920s house and probably 80 % of the the walls in this house are plaster the bathrooms and things like that have been redone over the years and drywall, but most of it’s still plaster. The wall behind me in fact, is drywall, but this wall over here at least part of it is plaster.
