Magnetic Stud Finder with Laser-Mark, KMM1000LZ | Stud Finder and Wall Scanner, Magnetic Stud Finder Tool, with Precise Stud Magnet, Holiday Home Improvement Gifts for Him

This is actually a pretty good tool. It's definitely not as good as an electronic stud finder but in a pinch this works. I like it because I can throw it in my pocket as I'm walking around through the house to hang pictures or other items I can just pull it out of my pocket and bam I got a stud. The concept is simple there is a magnet inside the back of the tool that looks for screws or nails once you find a screw or a nail it's easy to tell where the center of the screw is by the pull of the magnet. That doesn't mean that's the center of the stud because some installer probably missed the center of the stud by a little bit so you have to be creative and have a little bit of luck when you sink a screw into the wall and hope you hit the stud. 9 times out of 10 it's right and it's on and it works. The laser is very helpful when you're actually going to hang the picture or whatever it is you're putting up on the wall you can shoot a line across or up to the ceiling from below wherever it is you found the nail and easily put the screw or nail in the correct place on the wall.

I ran across this on Facebook and immediately ordered one. When it arrived, I opened it and took it around the house to use it. The device works by locating the nail or screw used to attach the drywall to the stud, or finds metal stud. You may need to move the stud finder around a bit—think up and down, along with side to side— but when it finds a screw or nail, the magnet grabs onto it, and you can actually let go; it stays attached to the wall (or I was able to). I love the laser marker and level. I struggle to visualize a straight line, which makes it difficult for me to follow one to put in a screw if I am hanging or nailing something that needs to hit a stud. Now for the potential downside. If the build team was not so "on the mark" when building—and missed the stud and left the nail or screw in the drywall—you might get a false reading. I suggest that if you find a nail or screw, go up or down to confirm you find a row of them, not just one (or see if you find more nearby, which has happened to me). Like with anything else that uses a battery, I remove the batteries when I store it. Ziplock bags are your friend here, as I don't use a stud finder daily or weekly. This is a good device, and the addition of the laser and the level is an improvement on a standard stud finder.

Great product. Takes the guess work out of things and is quick and easy to use. A must have in the tool box

Having a laser built into it is very nice! I used this on my first project and it worked out well. I took away one star because the battery case isn't very strong and fell off already just by sitting in my tool box, the magnets could be stronger (nowhere close to the more basic magnetic stud finders).

Great tool

This thing is a cheat code for finding studs. Absolutely blew me away. Magnets are much stronger than I was expecting and the laser with level combo is genius. Absolute must have.

Idk why this gets amazing reviews the magnets could be much stronger. At least 2-3x for it to get a 5 star. But works as advertised. It does stick with some drywalls but not all (if the depth is more than quarter inch).

Kreg tools never disappoint, and this one works as anticipated. Easy to use, small enough for in the pocket and it’s dead accurate. I didn’t mind the price- works better than my expensive stud finder every time!

Buena luminosidad del laser durante el día, sin embargo solo se puede nivelar en el sentido del láser, por lo que cuesta trabajo ajustar para perforaciones a 90 grados

Sehr gut für Trockenbau geeignet macht genau was es soll und hat mir sehr geholfen in meiner neuen Wohnung alles fest zu bekommen.

Good tool very useful and good quality.
