studs in walls. It features
a sleek, high-impact case

3/4 in.

Depending on the proximity of electrical wiring or
pipes to the wall surface, the StudTech™ may detect
them in the same manner as studs. Caution should
always be used when nailing, cutting or drilling in
walls, floors and ceilings that may contain these items.
To avoid plumbing, electrical, etc., remember that
studs or joists are normally spaced 16 in. (406mm)
or 24 in. (610mm) apart and are 1-1/2 in. (38mm) in
width. Anything closer together or a different width
may not be a stud, joist or firebreak. Always turn off
the power when working near electrical wires.

beep sounds, locating the
edge of the stud. Mark
this spot.
• Continue scanning
beyond the marked spot
until the top red LED
goes out. Slide unit in
reverse direction to locate
other edge of stud.

Use StudTech for depths
up to 3/4 in. (19 mm) with
+1/4 in. (6 mm) center
accuracy.

SLIDE

The StudTech™ is designed for use on dry interior walls
only. Three primary factors can affect sensing depth:
Thickness, density and moisture content.
The StudTech™ is not designed to handle materials
with inconsistent density such as:
Ceramic floor tile
Carpeting and padding
Wallpaper with metallic fibers
Freshly painted walls that are still damp (must dry at
Least a week)
Lath and plaster

• Turn StudTech™ on in
the air. If the LEDs light
when you bring your
hand up to the back,
then the unit is working
properly.

• Pull down back of
unit to release battery
compartment.
