I'll never be without one. - Brilliant. was not expecting great things from this, mostly because I thought it would be too large to stay stuck to the wall on the strength of a single drywall screw. For some strange reason the people marketing this wonderful little device have done all they can to make it look bigger in their photos. Ironically this was one thing that got me questioning whether to buy it or not. I've just looked over the posting again and it says its 117 mm long which is way smaller then you'd think going by the picture of it being held up against a wall. The fact that it's so small, seems smaller then 117mm, and the fact that it weighs next to nothing, means that sure enough, this thing absolutely sticks to walls and ceilings that contain drywall screws at the normal depth, ie. 3mm - 6mm. You practically have pry the thing away from corner beads, and i'm gonna make sure never to put it in the same pocket as my phone coz this magnet sure as hell is strong. Works perfectly. Of course it only detects ferrous material at a certain depth. So if the bloke that built and boarded the stud wall wasn't very good he probably won't of put any screws in the noggins, so you won't be finding them. Also if the walls were constructed way way out of plumb or not straight enough, you'll find sometimes that someone else has come along and straightened things out with plaster. This will of course increases the depth of the screw depending on how far out things were in the first place. That said though, the vast majority of walls are built well, and its nearly always studs we're after. This will tell you for sure if there is a screw holding board to a stud. Have used it many times now to great effect. Will never be without one. ## Features - Small and compact, easily fits in pocket - Powerful magnets allows hands free use - 2 way level for ease of marking - No batteries required - Soft grip for easy grabbing and gentle touch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000IKK0OI | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Battery Cell Type | Mercury Oxide | | Best Sellers Rank | #117,241 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #88 in Stud Finders & Scanners | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (30,993) | | Date First Available | August 29, 2007 | | Finish | Brushed | | Included Components | Magnetic Stud Finder | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Item model number | 3040 | | Manufacturer | CH Hanson | | Material | Plastic | | Number Of Pieces | 4 | | Part Number | 03040 | | Pattern | Solid | | Power Source | Hand Powered | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | One Size | | Style | Classic | | Usage | For identifying studs during remodeling, new construction, DIY projects | | Warranty Description | 12 months | ## Images ![03040 Stud 4 Sure Magnetic Stud Finder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gtYVIsNpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnetic Stud Finder *by G***J on 16 June 2024* The CH Hanson 03040 Stud 4 Sure Magnetic Stud Finder is a reliable tool that simplifies the process of finding studs behind walls.

This does the job even better as it's quite compact, and has two powerful magnets a couple of inches apart; and thus enables one to bracket a probable nail/screw etc.; and it's also lighter and easier to use. It also worked reasonably well through a layer of bathroom tiles affixed to hard board surface nailed to the studs - by Bodger Bill the builder almost 50yrs ago I guess. In this case one has to be a wee bit more patient and sensitive to the change in pull of the magnet when it locates a nail/screw; but it does find them. One might benefit by using a keeper for the scanning pole surfaces? I seem to recall (school physics) that magnets retain their flux (strength) longer if they have a suitable metal surface applied to them when in storage? Considering its facility of use, compactness etc. - I'd buy it again; as it does what it says - and no batteries. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hanson C H 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder - Franklin Sensors FS710PRO ProSensor 710+ Professional Stud Finder with 13-Sensors for the Highest Accuracy Detects Wood & Metal Studs with High Speed, Yellow - The StudBuddy Magnetic Stud Finder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/49179130-03040-stud-4-sure-magnetic-stud-finder](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/49179130-03040-stud-4-sure-magnetic-stud-finder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
