Metal Stud Finder

Finding metal studs behind drywall can be tricky: many conventional stud finders don't "see" them. Made by Wizard Detectors, The Little Wizard handheld metal detector easily finds metal studs and it operates like a conventional stud finder. As the device passes over a stud , it beeps and LED indicators light up. By adjusting the sensitivity guage, you can calibrate the Wizard for a particular wall condition like 5/8-inch drywall or wood paneling. The Little Wizard is also a great tool for scanning used lumber for nails prior to machining. That trim you're reusing on a remodeling job can be quickly scanned so you won't trash a saw blade or a set of jointer knives.
