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.

Looking in the £10-£20 range.

Putting a couple of screws in the wall should be simple, right?

Now scrapped it because I dug out a connector and some crimps but when I
started stripping back the wires the metal cores were rotten - presumably
because the battery contents had wicked up inside the wire.

Never mind, when I was looking for the crimps I found another (Lidl) meter
which I had forgotten I had. I think I bought it for the wireless room
measurement.

Now trying to work out why there appears to be so much wiring where I want
to put the screws in.
