Franklin SensorsProSensor 710+ Stud Finder with 13-Sensors, Wood & Metal Stud Detector/Wall Scanner, Built-in Bubble Level

Minor improvements over the older model. Works great.

I have used simple stud detectors for years as a week end warrior. This puts them to shame. I really like the ability to find the center immediately and it is so quick and easy. I used it on 5/8 drywall, OSB, and a combination and it found the studs that deep. Another time on an outside wall that was insulated and it found the studs there as well. I would recommend this product to a friend and have no reservations. Thanks for such a great product.

Very accurate but it is too expensive for only having one feature.

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 bought this primarily to install overhead garage racks. This thing is worth it’s price. It can accurately tell you where studs are and it’s easily to determine thei edges. I’ve since used it to locate studs to wire extra electrical outlets too. Way better than the standard sensors with a simple indicator.

This is great at finding a single stud in the middle of a wall. As soon as two studs are near each other (within the width of the stud finder) all hell breaks loose and the indicator LEDs light up like a Christmas display. Moving the unit a millimeter in any direction will cause all of the LEDs to blink on or off in mostly random patterns. Really disappointed with this purchase.

Good detector. Like how you have the multiple LED's to let you know where the stud is. I also love how you don't have to start on the wall over a hollow spot like some detectors make you. Like any of these detectors it's not perfect (mostly due to job sight factors that no detector can overcome). I like to use this along with a magnet to verify I'm on the stud. Recommend you try one.

I bought this for a small reno because every studfinder I've ever bought has never worked and beeps obnoxiously at me. I usually just find a stud by knocking or other things on the wall, the poke around 16" over. I got tired of doing this and took the plunge-- this is an expensive stud finder. But, I've probably spent way more than the cost of this, over the years, on the o as I have that don't work. I moved a closet door opening over and only had 1 miss-- it was with a horizontal brace between the studs. It does seem to have some trouble finding those, but vertical ones, never, it was dead-on. Also, I noticed it did have problems determining stud location in an unfinished wall. Once wallboard was up on both sides, it found them just fine. Not sure why that's the case, I was just playing around with it. But, really, how often do you nedd to "find" a sdid on an unfinished wall (you can just look...)?I love it.
