Finally got around to testing the stud finder from the
Place-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named*. Street price is $9.95. The instrument does
an accurate job.

It finds studs, which is what you'd expect a stud-finder to do. It also
finds METAL studs (or any metal) behind the wall. That is, it might do a
fair job on pipes.

It finds, and traces, current carrying wires and will tell you, via a beep,
if an electrical outlet is live.

All of these detections feature variable sensitivity.

And, just for grins, it includes a pretty bright LED light AND a 36" ruler
(so you can measure over 16" (or 24") for the next stud!).

Beats the heck out of my 20-year old former unit, which mainly just guessed!

Harbor Freight? What the hell? Listen here, son, unless you buy a
$10,000 stud finder you're just wasting your money! Throwing your
money away!

The only way to buy a tool is to buy the absolutest most expensive tool
you can fine. To hell with your budget, to hell with putting food on
the table; unless you buy the best, most expensive tool (as determined
by ME), you are and idiot! You hear that? And idiot!

By god, this is what my daddy taught me, and by god, you had better
listen to me!

Of course I suppose there might be a reason to buy a cheap tool, if
you're one of those idiot losers who is only buying it to use ONCE in
your cheap-ass, ugly, broken down house. So yeah, I guess if you're
just some idiot schmuck, go ahead and buy it, but you need to stop
wasting my precious time by posting about it because I only have time to
consider the most expensive tools I can buy!

I have a dewalt stud finder. No it's Stanley.

I'm reminded I used to have a HF stud finder. I don't know where it is.
Maybe I lent it out.

Strange you should mention that; I ran my new stud finder over my crotch. It
lit up and beeped! (the tool, not my crotch)

On the "wood" setting.

Evidently the thing has other uses.

Depends on your state of mind at the time or the medication you may be
using. A friend of mine was on a medication that inhibited his normal
state of tumescence when it was required for matrimonial duties so his
physician prescribed Viagra to compensate for his lack of performance.
The only problem was he stayed in an embarrassing state all the time and
had to wear an apron at work so as not to give his customers the wrong
idea. Of course if you are in a lignified state at all times, you
are either a teenager or have some odd predilections and a very active
imagination. ^_^
