StudPoP® Original Smart Magnetic Stud Finder – No Batteries, No Calibration, 3X More Reliable, Perfect for Lath & Plaster, Metal Studs – Visual & Audible Indicator, Simple & Fun to Use – 1" Magnet

Fantastic tool. I had no idea how effective these were. My expensive stud detector is mediocre to poor for most purposes. The best thing it does is detect electricity. This simple magnetic tool pops up firmly over every dry wall screw. Find each screw and easily map out where the studs are. Worth every penny. Saves time and frustration.

I would give this little gadget 10 ☆ if I could! It is totally amazing. We have a 90 year old house with lath and plaster walls. The studs are irregularly placed and hard to find. It only took a few minutes with this to find the studs so I could put up a shelf. The magnet is very strong.it is fun to watch the little switch click up and down as you hit the studs (really their nails). It does the job. It doesn't weigh much and is easy to carry up and down a ladder. It was well worth the money.

This. Works. Low tech, analog even. But it works! I've tried the expensive electronic stud finders and they are unreliable.

Only giving this 4 stars, because to be fair I'm not handy at all and have no idea if it's actually accurate at all. Still, its incredibly easy to use, and very novel after watching several other people struggle with their fancier stud finders glitching or not working.

This looked too good to be true, simple piece of material with a magnet, but what intrigued me was the price and claim it would detect through plaster lathe walls, and I have very thick plaster lathe walls, so if it didn’t work it was just like the other fancy battery ones that don’t work, or are inconsistent and only work on Sheetrock if they work, but this time I could live with the cost. So I go and try it, bam, incredible and not just detect but soundly, quick and on the money that thing popped up solidly and easy! Dont waste your money on the the expensive fancy rip offs unless of course you have plastic screws!

This was so easy to use. I have an older home with plaster walls. I wanted to secure bookshelves to the wall, and this little device immediately showed me exactly where I could anchor the screws. Got them right the first time. Low tech, easy to use, no batteries required. Highly, highly recommend!

I had high hopes for the StudPoP® "Original", but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. While it does eventually find metal fasteners in studs, it's not as quick or effortless as advertised. You have to move it slowly and carefully across the surface, which makes it less efficient than other stud finders I’ve used.That said, it does work once you find the right spot, and I appreciate that it doesn’t require batteries. However, if you’re looking for fast, reliable stud detection, you might want to consider other options.

I questioned if this would really work, but it does. I’ve had others that don’t work as well as this. I was pleasantly impressed.
