Hello,

I understand that Zircon stud detectors are recommended by this group.
I've looked at the Zircon web site and see they sell two types: edge
finders and centre finders. If you want to screw a shelf into a stud,
I guess the centre finder is best but if you are trying to avoid
cutting into a stud/joist, I suppose the edge variety is better?

What models do you use and do they work?

Triscanner pro. You approach the stud from both directions and hence can
mark its edges (and span). Finding the centre is left an an exercise for
the user ;-)

I'm having problems with a stud wall (that's another post) and I
bought one but I'm getting a lot of false positives so I'm thinking
about sending it back!

Mine works well (except on foil backed PB), but I guess their may be
variations.
