The ProSensor 710+ is the stud finder we recommend to nearly everyone because it solves the core frustration of competing single-sensor designs: you see the whole stud, not just an edge. For standard 16" or 24" on-center framing, it makes hanging anything faster and more accurate. Its one gap is AC wire detection - always pair it with a non-contact voltage tester before drilling.

After I got it, I was reading online about stud finders in general & realized that it is exactly the same unit (except for the color) of the Franklin Sensors ProSensor 710, which everyone loves. These units require no calibration, are very easy to use, and they work great.

We think the electronic Franklin Sensors ProSensor 710 Precision is the best stud finder because it gives you an accurate and detailed look into your walls. Its 13 sensors simultaneously “look” behind the walls (it can also be used to find joists underneath the flooring) to pinpoint the location of wooden studs and metal objects, such as pipes, easily and accurately.

This is a very exciting product. It's called the Pro Sensor 710. It takes two AA batteries and uh it's it's pretty cool. So, there's a bank of lights here and they tell you where the stud is. So, let's test and see where exactly the stud is here. I don't think there's any question. The center of the stud is right here. There's no stud. Look at that. Boom. I know there is a stud right here.
