2018's Best Zircon Stud Finder Buyer’s Guide (2018 Update)

The zircon ss e50 electronic stud scanner detects the edges of wood and metal studs and alerts you of live ac wires helping you easily find studs and avoid hazards while mounting a tv, hanging cabinets, installing garage shelving and more. Wirewarning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical ac wiring while scanning in studscan and deepscan modes. Studscan mode locates the edges of wood or metal studs up to 0.75 inches (19 mm) deep while deepscan mode locates targets up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep. One fully charged 9v battery, not included, is required for the stud scanner to run at optimal performance.

Patented “over the stud” indicator and spotlite pointing system ensure the e50 provides trustworthy results while the ergonomic grip design allows for comfortable use regardless of hand size.

Both studscan and deepscan modes locate the edges, center and direction of wood or metal studs; metal scan mode finds both non-ferrous metal (such as copper pipe) and ferrous metal (such as rebar); ac scan finds and traces live, unshielded electrical ac wires. Wirewarning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical ac wiring while scanning in studscan, deepscan, and metal scan modes. Zircon’s ms i520 is a multi-surface scanner with 4 modes that detect studs, metal and live ac wiring to help you easily find studs and avoid hazards. Act (auto correcting technology) automatically corrects common user errors, such as when scanning begins over a stud, while the patented spotlite pointing system clearly indicates the target location.

One fully charged 9v battery, not included, is required for the multi-surface scanner to run at optimal performance.

Wirewarning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical ac wiring while scanning in studscan, deepscan, and metal scan modes. Integrated erasable wall marker enables users to mark targets with the simple push of a button. Both studscan and deepscan modes locate the edges, center and direction of wood or metal studs and joists; metal scan mode finds both non-ferrous metal (such as copper pipe) and ferrous metal (such as rebar) even through lath and plaster; ac scan finds and traces live, unshielded electrical ac wires. Act (auto correcting technology) that automatically corrects common user errors, such as when scanning begins over a stud, in addition to the unique floating head design that keeps the sensor flat on rough and textured surfaces to increase the accuracy of results.

Zircon’s ms 740 is a multi-surface scanner with 4 modes that allows you to detect and mark the location of studs, metal and live ac wiring.

Advanced multi-sense technology senses the wall in multiple locations simultaneously. Can identify the position of multiple studs simultaneously. Deep scanning is always active (up to 1.5″). Bright leds lights illuminate to indicate the position of hidden objects – making it very easy to visualize the position of studs. Identifies the width of hidden objects so that you not only know the position of hidden objects, but so you also know the size of them.

4 modes: standard stud scan lets you find studs up to 3/4 inch deep, deep scan lets you find studs up to 1 1/2 inches deep, metal scan lets you find metal up to 3 inches deep, and ac scan lets you find live, unshielded electrical wire up to 2 inches deep. Digital screen displays bars that increase in volume as you get closer to studs or pieces of metal. Backlit multicolor display lets you see the screen even when working in poor lighting conditions. Blue for metal scanning, green for stud scanning, and red for live wire scanning. Pointer arrow shines onto your working surface when directly over the object you re scanning.

Easy handling with the ergonomically designed grip optimized for indoor use.

Optimized for interior use due to the uneven surfaces and varying density that comes with exterior construction techniques. Pointer arrow shines onto your working surface when directly over the object you re scanning. 4 modes: stud scan lets you find studs up to 3/4 inch deep, deep scan lets you find studs up to 1 1/2 inches deep, metal scan lets you find metal up to 3 inches deep, and ac scan lets you find live, unshielded electrical wire up to 2 inches deep. Digital screen displays bars that increase in volume as you get closer to studs or pieces of metal. V groove allows you to pinpoint studs with accuracy.

The zircon ss 70 electronic stud scanner detects the edges and center of wood and metal studs and alerts you of live ac wires helping you easily find studs and avoid hazards.

Studscan mode locates the edges of wood or metal studs up to 0.75 inches (19 mm) deep; deepscan mode locates targets up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) deep; wirewarning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical ac wiring while scanning in studscan and deepscan modes.

“ready” led lights to indicate when the stud finder is calibrated and ready for use while the patented spotlite pointing system illuminates and the audio tone signal sounds when the stud center is located. Integrated erasable wall marker enables users to mark targets with the simple push of a button.
