The Zircon Multiscanner A250c stands out from the crowd of “typical stud finders,” however, for its multiple scanning modes and special features. In other words, it is way more of an all-rounder than you’re expecting.
A twist on other models that yields an easy and accurate experience that left our testers reaching for this on their own home projectsMagnetic stud finders use large magnets to find the nails that are holding the studs together. Some magnetic stud finders we researched are molded into a plastic casing, while some are left loose. With molded ones, you can feel the magnetic attraction as you push it along the wall. With loose ones, we find you’ll hear a “thunk” noise when it finds something or see a bright piece of plastic pop up. Notably, the downside to this type of stud finder is that you can’t guarantee that it found a stud and not some other magnetic piece behind the wall. Electronic Everything we liked about the Prosensor T6 is also true of the bigger Franklin Sensors – ProSensor T13, but the increased price makes it a hard sell. You’re paying three times more for a wider sensor, but the T6 is already more than wide enough to work effectively. To stand out, manufacturers will add features of varying degrees of usefulness. These bonus features can vary from being neigh-on essential (at least, for you) to being expensive price boosters. If you already have one of the best home tool kits, you will likely find yourself not needing too many extras on your stud finder. Finders for detecting hidden objects in walls can be both electronic and mechanical. In case of mechanical finders, their type implies a complete absence of electronic parts and availability of one or more magnets as operating components in their design. As for electronic models, they are equipped with special sensors that detect changes of dielectric permeability or dielectric capacitivity of a wall, as well as electric field intensity changes. The information about objects located in such a way is displayed on the screen, and for the stud finder models with a simpler design, it will be displayed using conventional LEDs. Thus, you can not only determine an object location but also determine its width. Naturally, the operation of these electronic detecting devices requires an electric power, for which an AA or nine-volt battery, as a rule, is used. Among the noticeable features the device offers, we want to write about the finderability to accurately pinpoint objects edges location. That is, when sweepingthe e50 across the wall from right to left, you can first locate the right edge of an object and after sweeping in reverse direction the device pinpoints the left edge of the object. Having marked the edges, you will easily find the center of the object, where you can drive the screw or drill a hole in.

Why You Should Trust Us
Why it made the cut: This is a relatively straightforward stud finder without the frills (or the price) of premium-grade finders.
