If you were lucky, your stud finder let out a high pitch beep when finding any part of the stud, and that was it. If you lived in a log cabin or weren’t a significant proponent of electricity, this was no issue, but what if you drive a nail through an undetected live wire or pipe? Tavool’s 4-in-1 Wall Scanner is the 21st century’s answer to this costly problem. The bright LCD can detect the edge and center of a stud and metal and live wires up to 1.75 and 2.3 inches deep, respectively.<\/p>\n

- Responsive customer service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- May not be accurate scanning for ceiling joists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
