Rack-A-Tiers Stud Ball - Magnetic Stud Finder, Stud Detector, Stud Magnet, Detect Nails, Screws, & Metal Through Drywall, 27 Pounds of Pull, No Batteries Required (52300)

It works! Finally found a stud finder that works!

This is a great stud finder for finding Sheetrock screws and other ferrous materials behind Sheetrock. Very small and easy to use. Felt a little expensive for the money at the start but I have used this so many times that it’s absolutely been worth the price. Function is simple: run the rubber back against the wall and it will stick to the wall directly over a screw. It has worked every time for me. Fantastic purchase.

That flexible band is what makes it work. It'll hover off the wall and then suddenly tap, and you found a screw/nail. If you use the bare magnet side against a light colored wall, it'll leave a mark sometimes, which is easier than grabbing a pencil. If you don't love that feature, the other side has a plastic bumper.Also, it's just one of the more powerful magnets I have around, so I find myself reaching for it for all sorts of reasons--Picking up a screw I dropped; Holding paper to the wall.A very simple tool, but it's really nice to use.

I've spent lots of money buying electronics stud finders and this is the simplest most accurate way I've found and almost 30 years in the trades

Works great! Use an electrical finder at the same time though to prevent hitting a wire.

This is a strong magnet. It worked on metal studs and made the job super easy.

VERY strong magnet. It WILL find the nail and therefore the stud or rafter tail you are looking for. That's the good news. The bad news is, it WILL stick to anything ferrous metal in your tool box. Kind of a hassle, but I still love it. I lost it yesterday and finally found it hanging off my belt buckle, LOL. The other downside I didn't anticipate is you better be very careful with it around any magnetic recording media like a cassette tape or magnetic recording tape of any kind, or a credit card that still uses a magnetic strip and not a chip. I'm sure this magnet would instantly erase any of those.

This proved extremely helpful in locating screws in a drywall ceiling for removal. Made the job much easier!Not high tech and worth every penny for time saved!
