    • swalloweda on 20/01/2020 - 09:35

      Another word for stud is "nubbin". That's what it's detecting.

      Sounds like it must be pairing with your Grindr app.

    Never forget to test it on yourself first. It's important to do so because they don't work properly without doing so.

    This one or the Franklin? Was gonna get the Franklin.

    • g1 on 20/01/2020 - 09:20

      Franklin is much easier for finding wall studs, and knowing where they start and end. This helps to locate other things too.

      • Maxxjet on 20/01/2020 - 09:39

        Is this a real and serious scientific statement?

  • frostee on 20/01/2020 - 09:03

    Anyone have this one? Does it actually work as opposed to every other stud finder that thinks I live in a house with walls comprised entirely of studs that are constantly all live with electricity too apparently.

      We must have used the same builder!

    Any reviews on the Ryobi stud finder? It’s only $50 in Bunnings

    • Uncle BucK on 20/01/2020 - 11:22

      I got one recently and it seems to work okay. Need to make sure you zero it on a part of the wall prior to use either with one hand for one handed operation or two hands for two handed operation. I got it with a bonus laser let for $59. It's similar to the Franklin design, so you can see where studs start and finish. I still don't trust it 100%, but it's better then tapping and guessing where studs are.

      I couldn't justify the price for the Franklin for a couple jobs but looking back I'd probably get it as the Franklin are trusted for their accuracy.

    • dufflover on 20/01/2020 - 11:56

      Dunno about comparisons to the Franklin or this Bosch, but I borrowed a relos Ryobi once and would rather use my own Zircon after that.

      Ryobi was almost too idiot proof for me. I tested it for AC detection specifically, but no doco on how it showed it apart from saying it did detect it. The Zircon I preferred because I put it specifically into live wire mode, and it had a specific icon on screen to warn about it.

    International product from outside Australia.

    $11.28 delivery fee or free with prime member.

    • bloom on 20/01/2020 - 09:49

      Mmm thats weird, I bought it yesterday and was from Amazon AU and shipped by Amazon AU. Im not prime and got free shipping, arrives Wednesday

      • WayneOZ on 20/01/2020 - 10:06

        Thanks for sharing but Amazon AU might have run out of stock. When it happens it's always the case. I bought a PS4 controller from Amazon AU during Christmas and the next day it showed from US and doubled the price!

    What if you don't have blue studs in your house?

    • jackspratt on 21/01/2020 - 02:08

      Is that you, jv?

      • jollster101 on 21/01/2020 - 22:22

        I wouldn't be so bold

    My tradie neighbour recommends the Franklin units. I tried all of the Stanley units and they are garbage. I borrowed my neighour's Franklin Prosensor and worked brilliantly. Amazon have a ProSensor M90 for $60 incl shipping from Amazon US.

  • chossenger on 20/01/2020 - 13:52

    Hmm, any bargains on the purple stud finder? Should pay itself off faster at least

  • Seaword on 20/02/2020 - 08:45

    Thanks Op, I bought one yesterday in Bunnings. Note that it is now cheaper and includes free delivery on amazing so tt came in at $77.53, down from $148!

    • skysurfer on 20/02/2020 - 10:53

      Bunnings website still says 149?

      • Seaword on 20/02/2020 - 15:40

        Sorry my message was unclear. On Amazon it is now cheaper than the advertised price above and with free delivery so the price beat is way better.
