Title: What a POS....
Review: This stud finder may, and I emphasize the word "may", work well on drywall as shown in the mocked up demonstrations put on by the manufacturer, but it is useless on plaster walls. I've tried two of them with fresh batteries and neither could successfully locate a stud under 5/8" of wallboard and plaster in my house. I am not talking about lathe and plaster, just 3/8" of wallboard with 1/4" of plaster over it. The demos show accurately locating studs through 2 layers of 1/2" sheetrock using the "deepscan" setting. I suspect that demo is staged. The two I tested could not locate a stud where I knew there was one. It also tends (or pretends) to find "something" and never stop beeping once it detects whatever it thinks it found.This model would not even make a decent paper weight. If you have a lot of disposable income, go for it. If you are looking for a way to locate studs in a plaster wall, use a hammer, you'll have better luck.
