The Magnet Source 07612 Magnetic Stud Finder is an essential tool for home improvement and picture hanging. This stud locator uses powerful neodymium magnets to detect nails and screws hidden behind drywall, making it easy to find wall studs without batteries or electronic components. Once you’ve located the stud, the magnet holds itself in place to mark the exact spot for your project.
The Magnetic Stud Finder is ideal for hanging pictures, shelves, and other wall-mounted items where you need to know the exact location of studs for secure installation. This magnetic stud finder eliminates guesswork by attracting directly to metal fasteners in the wall. The included Magnetic Shield keeps the magnet from attracting loose nails or other metal tools during storage, and the bright red housing makes it easy to spot in any toolbox.
Features and Benefits
- Super Strong Neodymium Magnets: Permanently magnetized magnets reliably detect nails and screws in wall studs without batteries or mechanical parts.
- Dual-Purpose Design: Use the notched end as a nail starter to begin fastening, and attach a string with a small washer to the opposite end to create a plumb line for straight, aligned installations.
- Magnetic Shield Storage: The included red shield prevents the magnet from attracting metal debris in your toolbox while keeping it organized.
- Easy to Use: Simply remove the shield and slide the magnet across the wall surface until it attracts to metal fasteners marking the stud location.
- Bright Red Housing: The red color makes the tool easy to spot in any toolbox.
