The only stud sensor I've used is the "Zircon Studsensor SL" (black

It's so frustrating, that, for the past few years, I just left it in the
drawer and used the hollow-knock method.

But, today I pulled it out and tried to use it - and again was frustrated
by its lack of repeatability.

Even when I know a stud is there, it is hit or miss with this thing.

Does anyone else have this particular studsensor who can tell me if it's
just mine or if they're all just as worthless?

Some stud finders actually find nails. If you miss the nail, you miss
the stud.
You need to work in both directions if you see what I mean.
