Zircon StudSensor i65 Center-Finding Stud Finder with DVD How-To Guide Reviews
| 96 of 96 people found the following review helpful  A Few Tips for Wood Lath & Plaster Walls, By This review is from: Zircon StudSensor i65 Center-Finding Stud Finder with DVD How-To Guide (Tools & Home Improvement) This i65 unit from Zircon works very well, based on my experience. I have been remodeling a very old home for three years, and it included removing and working with existing wood lath with plaster walls.Conventional wisdom says none of the modern-day Stud Sensors work with wood lath and plaster walls, and the reasons cited include... 1) The rows of wood lath can vary in thickness -- thereby, throwing off the reading depth of the sensor. 2) When plaster is applied, it is forced through the gaps in the wood lath and builds up behind the lath to lock the plaster to the wall upon drying. These varying thicknesses also throw off the accuracy of these stud sensors. Yes, I agree with all of that on merit -- but I've used the i65 successfully after realizing a few things. First of all, many owners never bother to read the instructions, and try to use these devices too quickly. Here are a few tips that might help... a) Set the unit flat against the wall...

Everytime I found a good one, there would be a review saying it sucked. I finally went into the nearby Lowes to see them in person.Once there, I was just as lost. Then I noticed a display case Zircon had set up. They had a piece of drywall with a wooden stud behind it. Hanging below it dangled this Zircon unit begging to be tested. I ran it over the drywall and it found the stud every time. I did it at least 10 times and it gave perfect results. Even better, it shows you in 'real time' via the LCD display where the edges and center are. The LCD literally shows the stud moving across it while you slide the unit past the stud. When it reaches the center, it gives a loud beep and a red laser lights up showing you the exact center spot. I bought it and headed home. I ran all over the house. It found studs every time. I should note my home was built in 1996 and contains smooth normal drywall and gypsum walls. I'm very...

(Arcata, CA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Zircon StudSensor i65 Center-Finding Stud Finder with DVD How-To Guide (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought the i65 to see where the studs were in my wall so i could rip off the plywood (I live in a house built in about 1910 and remodeled around 1950 in a perpetually wet area, so there ain't no drywall) and repair the electrical connections to my washer and dryer. this thing is great at detecting electrical currents, which is GREAT, but when it comes to detecting studs through thick paint (or worse, plaster) covered plywood more than 3/4" thick, it's at a loss. Lucky it comes with a dvd, 'casue the instuctions suck. After watching the dvd (and cracking jokes about it and laughing the whole time)it suggests using a thin piece of cardboard or chipboard to run the unit across while scanning. This totally works (when you use deepscan), but seems to affect accuracy. As a rough guide, it's awesome, but if you need to find a stud without destroying your wall, maybe the i500 (the model that turned me on to zircon) or a more advanced model is a better idea. |
