See through walls --- without having X-Ray vision.

The folks at Franklin Sensors say that conventional stud finders can become confused because they are only able to “see” the wall in one position at a time. A small irregularity at one position can cause a slight error, or a big error. But their ProSensor 710 is much less vulnerable to construction irregularities because it is able to “see” the wall in multiple locations at one time. It uses readings from several points on the wall to determine what is behind the surface of the wall. That’s why they say their ProSensor 710 is the most accurate stud finder on the market. It can identify the width of hidden objects. It illuminates all the LEDs that are in front of a hidden object, so notice how many LEDs are illuminated and you know the width. Conventional electronic stud finders require the user to slide the finder back and forth across the wall until the finder “learns” the wall. For some finders it may take multiple swipes until the finder becomes tuned into the wall and can detect accurately. Also, some conventional electronic finders don’t work well unless the finder was initiated at least 3” away from a stud. This means is that if you place the finder on the wall over a stud, and press the button, you’ll have great difficulty detecting the stud, unless you reinitiate the sequence from an alternative location. The ProSensor 710 doesn’t have these problems. Place it on the wall in any location, press the button, and you will instantly see the location of any hidden objects. It instantly self-tunes to the wall, without sliding, and it instantly shows the location of any hidden objects. $49.99.
