Anyone recommend a budget stud/electric cable finder?

My Draper one from the shed isn't working because the battery ate the
connector and I don't have time to solder on a new one at the moment.

Surely that would take less time than getting a new one! :-)


Not in my experience.

And I wouldn't be surprised to find a repair taking an hour, once all
the issues of modifying the case and/or battery cover to provide
suitable clearance are sorted. I'd go down David's route myself at that
price level.

(Having just thrown away a box full of broken electronic gadgets that
I'd had for years in case they contained something that might be worth
salvaging)
