- ACCURATE: More sensors = More accuracy. Conventional stud finders have 1 or 2 sensors. The ProSensor 710 has 13, making it the most accurate stud sensing tool on the market. The ProSensor 710 has a max detection depth of 1.6". The LEDs track the location of studs while displaying the center and edges simultaneously.
- EASY: One mode finds it all! The ProSensor 710 adjusts for a variety of depths, materials and textures. No calibration required. Press and hold the button to begin scanning. Unlike other stud sensors that give false readings, the ProSensor 710 allows you to start scanning anywhere, even over a stud.
- DISPLAYS FULL STUDS: The ProSensor 710 displays the center and edges of studs simultaneously, showing single studs, double studs, and irregular configurations that other stud finders cannot detect. Works through drywall/sheetrock, standard lathe & plaster, and more!
- DURABLE: #1 Rated by consumers and professionals, the ProSensor 710 stud finder is both accurate and durable.
- EXTRA FEATURES: Integrated Ruler. Uses common AA batteries. Is NOT compatible with rechargeable batteries.

This is, by far, the easiest to use, most accurate, and fastest stud finder I have ever used with standard drywall.
I have used several different stud finders over the year. One of the most common tries to mark the edges of the stud. I found that repeated searches from different directions would not show a consistent location for the edges. I'd put pencil marks where the edges were. The edge locations would vary by +/- 1/2 inch and sometimes more. The big problem with this old method is that I usually didn't care where the EDGE of the stud was, I wanted to locate the CENTER so I would know where to sink my nail, screw, or whatever. It didn't need to be precisely the center, but I didn't want to miss the stud.
The LED display is much easier to read and faster than the old style that marks the edges. This one shows you the width of the stud, so locating the center
Here is my tip on usage: For larger pictures, I like to put two hooks in the wall so that the picture doesn't get bumped crooked as easily. When I am locating studs using the ProSensor, I take a small square of blue painters (masking) tape. I locate the stud using the ProSensor and mark the center of the stud by sticking the tape on the wall. I turn the tape so that the corner points down to make an arrow that points where the center of the stud is. Once I have located two studs, I can use my level to mark exactly where the hooks need to go. Couldn't be easier!
They stand by their product and their product is as good a quality or better than any I have used in the past. Spend the money and buy this for your home use or professional work and you won’t regret it. Its worth every penny!
I found that the depth and precision claims were wholly inaccurate. It would not see through 1/2"-3/4" wainscoting effectively and was mediocre on drywall, only finding studs that you should know already are present (door and window trimmers/ king studs). I was hoping to use it to locate beams through drywall given its wide sensor area - but it was totally useless. I know I asked a lot of it as a stud finder but that was precisely its claim. It may work well in ideal conditions, but so do all stud finders. Performance was so poor and inaccurate, I'm thinking that mine may have actually been defective - that's the only explanation for the other reviews.
Update:
Immediately (within hours) after posting this review I received a phone call from a representative at Franklin Sensors. They indicated that all of their parts are 100% tested, but rarely they do have a defective product in the field. They feel like that may be the situation. They are working out a solution for me and I will update this review again. As for now I've added two stars because of their very quick response to a review on Amazon - very impressive customer service.
2nd Update:
I received a replacement Stud-Finder - It is definitely much better than the first one I received, leading me to be sure that the original was in fact defective. I have used it side by side with your standard run-of-the-mill stud-finders and it outperforms them in all situations. This is a fantastic stud finder, but it still doesn't perform miracles. It still won't see through the thick wainscoting and occasionally gets confused by plaster, but for most drywall applications it's dead on. The string of LEDs are excellent if you need to locate the center of the stud.
An important tip from the manufacturer - If you think you've found a stud, but are getting some extra LEDs or false identifications, move the stud finder vertically up and down the wall to verify the stud location - Also be sure to watch out for fire blocking by turning the unit sideways and checking horizontally. Usually you can figure out what's happening if the first time you put it on the wall something strange happens (like all the LEDs light up).
4 stars for the stud finder itself and 5 stars for fantastic customer service.

This works great and shows you exactly where the center of the stud is.
If you need a reliable stud finder then this is it.
