ProSensor 710+

The most important piece of information is: it actually works. After struggling with some cheap product for a while I decided to take a hit, write-off the cheap one (couldn't return anymore), and decided to but this one. I'm happy. Detects studs like there is no tomorrow ;-)

Been trying to use a Bosch stud finder at twice the price and getting nowhere so based on reviews decided to give this a try. Popped a couple of AA batteries in a within seconds I had the centre of a stud and confirmed at various points up and down the wall (plasterboard on wooden stud). Double checked with a good old fashioned knock test and good to start drilling holes for a TV wall bracket. I guess like most of these types of device they will all be prone to error based on the surface/material but got to say that that I'm impressed.

Great bit of kit for finding studs. Just about the best for the price. None of these type of detectors are infallible, but this drvice is quite accurate and consistent. Easy and intuitive to use too. Won't find mains cables, but doesn't claim too. I use this to find lovation & width stud, then use a separate mains cable detector to check for cables before drilling. So far so good.

Great stud finder. Works flawlessly on normal stud walls. It gave some spurious results when using on cement board but normal walls it's 100%

Unsure if i trust it. Shows solid lights even when i know theres at best 3 supposed to be on. I'll look at it again, but so far, i'd be slow to drill where it shows (or not drill as the case may be)

Works as it should. Useful piece of kit

Very disappointed in this product. Top of the range (so called) and most expensive. I had a better result from the strong magnet to pick up nails. Everywhere it showed a stud there was nothing behind the plasterboard. The product (get out of jail) disclosure on the crib sheet says it cannot be relied on alone to locate studs due to differing materials used in the makeup of the enclosed Wall. Save your money and get a strong magnet as that will at least find the nails. It really isn't worth the money. Most modern Plasterboards and stud walls can have metalised membranes to prevent damp transfer also some soundproofing material can be a factor in giving misleading readings. I now have holes all over my Wall where this tool indicates studs that were not there. Easy to read easy to use but not very accurate I'm afraid. Save your money!

I bought a 710 from Sears (US holiday) many years ago. It worked well until I ran over it. The only differences between this one and my previous one seems to be a ruler and spirit level. No stud sensor is perfect, but having this multisensor detector gives you some confidence as to where the studs are. Move this detector across a stud and three LEDs follow the position of the stud (see picture). Even if you see a glitch on one LED it's still clear where it is. On a single sensor detector, all you see is the glitch. All the types work well in ideal conditions, but those conditions are rare in the real world. Before buying this replacement, I thought I'd try a magnet, which was time consuming but OK, until I came across an invisible stud (no screws or nails). The ape that put up the partition used Gripfill as the stud was undersized! This stud finder doesn't include a voltage or metal detector, but the separate voltage detector I use is more reliable than any combined unit I've tried.

Excellent

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

C'est un produit utilisé aux états unis (les rois des cloisons en bois placo) Et c'est vraiment excellent pour retrouver les rails de placo pour visser. Comme dit dans un autre commentaire, cet outil m'est devenu indispensable. Marche aussi avec le bois pour les planchers bois. En plus fonctionne avec deux piles AA.

I've owned a bunch of stud finders over the years and honestly, most of them were junk. They'd sort of work sometimes, but it was always a guessing game. This Franklin Sensors ProSensor 710+ is on a whole different level. The 13 sensors and all the LED lights show you exactly where the stud is - no guesswork, no trial and error. It's fast, accurate, and just works. I'm not a contractor or anything, just a regular DIY home guy, but this thing feels like pro-level gear. Worth every penny.

It is worth paying a bit more to have a high quality tool. It shows you the width of the trust, if there are multiple, etc... 5 years ago, I bought a high-end DeWalt, but it provides false readings on a problematic wall. This Franklin sensor got it right immediately. I don't know how long this sensor has been on the market, but I wish I had bought this one 5 years ago.
