Franklin Sensors ProSensor 710+ Stud Finder, 13-Sensor Wall Scanner, Blue

Don't be fooled by those little $12 -$20 "stud finders" with the fancy displays and bells and whistles. They don't work. But this unit isn't like that. This is a more expensive, PROFESSIONAL QUALITY stud finder that works! Instead of a fancy display, this unit just has a row of LEDs that light up when they pass over a wall stud. Simple, effective, and from what I've seen, always correct. It's become one of my most-valued tools. No lie.

I recently bought a new TV to replace my 55" flat screen which got fried do to to many lightning storms in the area. Lightning didn't kill my TV, the power going off and on repeatedly too many times in a short time did it. So, my new TV is being wall mounted with a new power surge protector. This Franklin Sensors stud detector replaces the old El cheapo stud detected that was unreliable. I need to hang a considerable weight on two wall studs and the screws need to be dead center. Using this sensor, I'm assured of that. I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today. Setup was fast and easy. Simply drop in two AA batteries and I'm in business. No pre-op setup needed. Just press against any wall, press the button and slide the unit and the lights begin showing you where the studs are. They show you the entire stud so you can mark both edges and find it's center. It also shows studs located close together, too. Overall, I am highly pleased with this tool and in this inflationary world, feel I got my money's worth. Now, it does not detect wiring, pipes or other structures. So, if you're looking for something that does all that, look elsewhere. But this unit excels in finding studs.

Works great, and very accurate. I bought mine in order to find an on-demand tankless water heater that was installed behind sheetrock by a moron builder many years ago. Lit up like a Christmas tree when I moved the sensor over the location.

I love this tool! It's like stud finder for dummies. So easy, with a level. Just push a button and see if there is something behind the wall. I used it to measure and install shelving on my own and hit the stud perfectly every time. Saved me major hassle. I ordered a digital one initially and could not for the life of me figure out how to use it. This one is just pop batteries in and go. I'm not sure why it is so expensive, but happy to pay for the ease of use. The digital ones are cheaper, but the convenience is worth it. Only reason it is a four star review is because price is a bit high

I have been renovating a house with my father, and we have used his Franklin Sensors 710 (the original version) for years. I have noticed how much better it performs then any of the other types of stud sensors (of which I have three of various brands). I decided to pick one up for myself so that I could use it on some of my own projects. The "+" model is almost exactly the same as the original, save for the ruler on the top, the level bubble, and there is a slight size difference (less then 1/2" in all dimensions, see picture). As far as I understand there weren't any internal changes. I can see the usefulness of the level bubble, especially if trying to hang something like a picture and it isn't really worth getting a designated level. If you do have the original, it probably isn't worth buying the new version; but if you are trying to decide between the two, all else being the same, I would get the "+" version. The 710+ performs reliably, just the same as the original version. I know that I can trust the readings on this stud sensor, it is much more reliable then any other type I have used. I have completely torn down every walls of the house I am renovating to bare studs, so I am familiar with stud locations in each of the walls. When I put the sensor up to the wall, the studs are all exactly where I expect them to be (and on some of the walls with only one finished side I can check the other side of the wall to verify the readings). I included a picture if it in use, those familiar with construction know that one side or the other of a wall socket will have a stud, and the sensor correctly shows that in the picture. If you are serious about construction and find yourself regularly using stud sensors, the Franklin Sensor 710+ will almost certainly alleviate your frustrations with them.

I have a heavily textured wall I was looking to mount my TV on. I was concerned with the sensor getting confused by it. It showed be precisely where the stud began and ended with precision. I’m very impressed and happy with my purchase.

This thing is fantastic. It’s so easy to use and works perfectly. The sensor is precise and accurate. It seems to be durable but I wouldn’t throw it around on concrete. The value for the money is unbelievable. I was using the cheaper ones that are less than $20 and was never impressed. Knocking on the wall with my hand gave me a better idea than trying to use one of those things. This one fits in my bag and works perfectly every time. I’ve used it several times so far and the battery life seems to be good. If you can afford it, spend the extra money and get this stud finder.

Excellent

Werkt zeer goed. Jammer dat hij in Amerika 50 euro kost, en hier 100 euro. Goed product, snel geleverd! 😋

Best Stud finder I have ever used, very accurate in finding the full stud and where the middle is. Highly recommend it. More expensive than your average Stud finder but they don’t work and this one does.

Détection des rails derrière le placo Fonctionne à merveille avec une mise en oeuvre simplissime

Meilleur achat à faire à un jeune qui part en appartement! Je me le suis acheté pour ma maison et mon seul regret c’est de ne pas l’avoir eu avant! Dispendieu beaucoup par rapport à certains plus cheap mais la règle le niveau et surtout la possibilité de voir la largeur du « stud » en arrière sont des points qui lui font mériter son prix. Je vais certainement en acheter pour la famille à noël. Positif : -fonctionne avec des batteries à piles (à prévoir) -bonne prise en main (agréable et pas étrange) -plastique de qualité -léger pour être maniable mais juste assez lourd pour ne pas faire cheap (on entends pas de cliquetis de morceaux lousse en dedans comme les cheap peuvent le faire) -fiable! Si la lumière s’allume, tu peux planter ta vis ici! -en bleu il est moins cher et le même modèle ;) Négatif: -fonctionne avec des batteries donc n’est pas rechargeable seul -dispendieu à l’achat
