What is a Stud Buddy?

[patrickglaser]

Sticks to myself... falls off
This is absolutely broken

What if the nail or screw wasn’t centered in the 2x4? Good idea & Bad idea

[dogwalker]

It will find the clout nails used to fasten the plaster board, not the studs.

Buy a box of 1/2 rare earth magnets, hold in flat of hand and wipe across wall surface. They’re super cheap

[toddbertram]

As long as the nails are centered, with today's laborers? Good luck

[carlosrivas]

It’s not a stud buddy it’s a nail buddy

[BarryGordon]

Finds the metal fastener but does not find the CENTER of the stud.
C H HANSON model better

Obviously not many builders in the comment section

[chadthemannable]

Lol no! Hopefully no metal pipes or electrical boxes/ wiring. Do not use this

Unless the framer loads the timber with multiple nails off center

[jesseelhulk]

It's not good. And its overpriced for it just being a magnet.. could do same with a good magnet and at less than half the price
