It works!! Context: 1st time, single, repair-impaired home owner. I am putting up some shelving. Needed a stud finder. The electronic ones were more than I wanted to spend. Came across this magnetic one. Skeptical. But it works perfectly!! And is actually kinda fun - chasing studs through my house :)

    The StudBuddy Magnetic Stud Finder is a straightforward, reliable tool that gets the job done without any fuss. Its simplicity is its strongest feature—no batteries or complicated settings required. Just glide it along the wall, and the strong magnet quickly identifies screws or nails in studs. I’ve used it for hanging shelves and artwork, and it’s consistently pinpointed studs behind drywall and wood paneling.

    I appreciate that it’s made in the USA and feels durable in hand. While it won’t replace electronic stud finders for heavy-duty projects, it’s perfect for quick tasks and avoids the frustration of false readings. For anyone needing an affordable, no-nonsense tool for everyday household use, the StudBuddy delivers.

    I wish I knew about this sooner! I lost my last stud finder and even when I had it, the thing was so wide and required some weird sized battery that I don’t typically have around. Then I’d only use it once and either lose it in moving boxes or the battery would be dead.

    My favorite thing about the StudBuddy is that it doesn’t need a battery! Also, the slim, vertical design is ergonomic and perfect for its use. I can’t wait to mount my TVs now!

    I just received this today but immediately used it to check a recent shelf project that I struggled with because a previously purchased stud finder was practically useless. I was able to almost instantly confirm the stud locations with this, it couldn’t have been easier. The good news, I hit them.

    I bought this when I purchased a TV hanger. I needed something to find the studs in my apartment. It definitely works great, it is also very sturdy. I even dropped it a couple of times and there were no signs of that and it did not break or crack at all. I would highly recommend this product. Works great and easy to use. I also believe it was a little cheaper than my local stores.

    This works great if it’s a newer house with drywall that was hung with screws. I tried it on a closet in my house that was hung with nails, built in the 70’s, and this couldn’t find anything. Overall I still like it but it will only work in about 50% of the house.
