Stanley Stud Sensor 100
The Stud Sensor 100 uses electronic signals to locate the edges of
studs, joists or live AC wires through drywall or other common building
materials. Once the edge of a stud has been detected, the Stud Sensor
100 displays red LED's and sounds an audible tone. A marking channel
allows you to easily note the stud edges on the wall.
Note: Read all instructions prior to operating the Stud Sensor 100 and
DO NOT remove any labels from the tool.
