I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any help you can offer me.
Me too. I had the same stud finder, and I thought that device was very inaccurate. Now, I learned, and the first time ever, was able to find the studs. For e.g., I didn't know that the finder needed to be moved very slowly...
Thank you! I’ve had that same stud finder for 2 years now and every time I try to use it I have problems. It didn’t come with the instructions like you gave.
Learning how to Adult on youtube!!! Thank you for this video!!! My stud finder literally had a diagram with the buttons on it and how to put but battery in and nothing else. 🙄🙄 this was super helpful for me!! Thank you.
Wow! Thank you for such a simple and clear, step-by-step video! You are to be commended for getting straight to the point and really showing a logical way to do this.
That was awesome thank you. I take care of an elderly gentleman and I was putting up bars for him to brace himself when he’s walking around the house or getting in and out of the shower and I totally forgot how to use a stud finder because I hadn’t done anything like that in a while. So instead of watching ur video I tried to do it my way and ended up putting a bunch of random holes in the walls…yeeeah.
Thanks for the awesome video, I have a better idea of what I did wrong when trying to put up the shelves my wife wanted. I wish youtube had a star system, this video would easily get 5 of them :)
awesome video. thanks a lot I was using correctly i guess but when i measured between studs i was getting 14", so i'll go back use the 2 step method, find the edge of the stud, then verify the other edge of the stud to mark the middle. thx
Good demonstration. I've had mixed results when using a stud finder. also, if the wall is constructed with aluminum studs its a different type of surface and hard to attach a nail or screw.
I have the exact same thing. It doesn’t even come with batteries when you buy most stud finders. It gave me all kinds of readings and when I drilled, it was on a conduit and almost cut an electrical wire. After three holes drilled, I ended up using a heavy duty anchor to hang the heavy stuff. Stud finder only works on simple walls and nothing attached to those studs. Even in the manual it says not to rely on it fully.
Nailing on the stud gets tons of support for what you are hanging, but has a greater risk of being where wires, pipes, and things you generally do not want to penetrate are
Hi, how can I help me? I need wall scanner, which has many few functions details(NEW). what new thing would you add this device. Who will offer a newer, more comfortable innovation that is not yet available. Thanks a lot
After talking to my buddy about his rare stud finder mishaps, I've come to the conclusion that these should be called "Dense mass finder." Why is it called a stud finder when water lines, electrical wiring and other things set this thing off?
Thats why its important to go from a wall or switch/receptacle as starting point. I hear ya on that amd diffocult if there's no real starting point sometimes. Hard to trust who builds things these days..
Rather than mark up your wall with pencil marks, put a piece of blue painters tape over the area you are looking for the stud and put the marks on the tape instead.
you always drill in the middle of the stud. so the two lines mark where the stud ends and where it begins, so we have placed the x on the middle so that is where you drill. hope that helps. 💪😁👍
I was thinking finding a stud meant that's where an electric wire or something metal would be. So the stud is the place you want to drill,specifically wooden area safe for drilling.
If youre going to nail or drill later ...... Just drill or nail starting at one point & nail or drill horizontal across the wall, you can feel the resistsnce when it goes into the stud, easily. In other words..... drilling....... thr drill ill let loose after it clears the drywall, about 1/2 inch in or so ....... when its on the stud though, it will keep drilling or nailing almost all the way in. - then simply spackle over the old holes. way easier than piddling around with math & some electrical gadjet imo
Maybe ok to test in a shop but no one needs that on newly painted wall..lol maybe if you dont care if you actually hit a Stud and put in an anchor in case you miss it..
this particular one is a piece of junk. i’m sure i don’t have studs every 4 inches of my wall! what a POS. i agree with the person who said just buy the best one and then return it 🙄
in some cases you will noticed that the stud finder will beep differently or not turn green or red depending on the stud finder (you can refer to owners manual for specific sound or light beeps or color depending on your particular model or brand). but usually in the corners you have studs so a few inches away from the corners you don't or a few inches from any of the sides from a outlet or light switch because they are usually on studs.
You taught me how to cook, clean, and now construction. It’s official... you are now my father
Son!!! Lol 😂😂👍💪

Maury: You ... ARE the father!
It's people like you, making videos like this, that are the true unsung heroes. Now I have hope I can put up my own curtains. Thank you!
Agreed 💯
I felt that deeep 🤣🤘🏾
Curtains are easy dude 99% of the time there’s a stud along the window for support
I've owned a stud finder for years, and I never knew how to use it. Now I can! Thanks.
Me too. I had the same stud finder, and I thought that device was very inaccurate. Now, I learned, and the first time ever, was able to find the studs. For e.g., I didn't know that the finder needed to be moved very slowly...
I've had a stud finder for years but it was only today I learned how to use it. You're Awesome!!
Awesome 👍😊
Same here!
Thank you! I’ve had that same stud finder for 2 years now and every time I try to use it I have problems. It didn’t come with the instructions like you gave.
I recognize that accent ;). Great video, thank you sir. Need to move a TV wall mount and this will help.

I normally don’t comment but thank you so much this is straightforward and understandable. 😀
Glad it was helpful!
You can either make a big change for a few, or a small change for many. Both deserve praise.
Thanks.

I find it a lot easier to buy the best one Home Depot offers use it and then return it when I'm done. It's not often I'm looking for studs.
Thanks a lot 😊
Pointed at myself, found a stud, mission complete
🤣😂
Thanks for the awesome video, I have a better idea of what I did wrong when trying to put up the shelves my wife wanted. I wish youtube had a star system, this video would easily get 5 of them :)
Thank you so much for posting this!! About to install a TV Wall mount. This was incredibly helpful!
I love the video content
Very straight to the point for beginner users like myself who like DIY
Keep up the great work👍
Thank you so much for this video. I am now going to try your method. I’ll let you know how it goes...
Still trying to figure it out 6 months later.
Thanks...really helps when I have the exact same finder. 🤙👍
Glad to hear it!😊👍❤
Very impressive 👍 now I know, and now I'm off to fill in all the random holes I put in my wall hunting for a stud! Bummer.
👍😊😂

Thank you so much!! Easy, simple, and practical.
You're welcome!

thank you !
You're welcome!
Thank you....of all the videos I watched u made it so simple and easy.
Good demonstration. I've had mixed results when using a stud finder. also, if the wall is constructed with aluminum studs its a different type of surface and hard to attach a nail or screw.
When do we point the stud finder to ourselves and announce "Found the stud..."
THANK YOU! Now I'm walking around my apartment with the Stud Finder and using the two-step process to confirm the 16". Also, Are most studs 2.5" wide?
1.5 inches.
This video did teach me something new.
Excellent video.....easy to understand....thanks!
Thank you for the useful information!

Best video ever!! Very helpful
Great video. Thx !
Just learned some good stuff.
Thanks bro.
Very helpful ok sometimes it beeps other time it lights up. Example on the wall it lights up. On the ceiling it beeps.
So do you nail ON the stud or NOT on the stud?
Nailing on the stud gets tons of support for what you are hanging, but has a greater risk of being where wires, pipes, and things you generally do not want to penetrate are
THANK YOU
Thank you
Great one and simple to get.
Is this the same process for a Zircon Edge finding studsensor hd25 ?
Thank you.
This was helpful af during this quarantine. Bout to be bob villa in this bitch
That you for this
you're welcome!!👍👍
Good vid!

How to use a stud finder:
1. Point it at yourself
2. Check to see disappointing reaction from wife
3. Proceed as usual
Thank you! I hate calling my dad everytime I have a DIY job.
Great video...this helped me so much...

Exactly my fear. To hit a pipe
Man great video and music selection!
Rather than mark up your wall with pencil marks, put a piece of blue painters tape over the area you are looking for the stud and put the marks on the tape instead.
great tip!!! 😊😊
Can stud finders detect water pipes behind tiles?
Very clear instruction. But how to find horizontal studs?
Go the opposite direction. It wont have a 18 inch rule that i know.. Just use it from floor and go up the same way. Just cant predict it.
I thought the green mean go nail it there 😂
thank😭you🙏
So my question is do we drill where the stud is? Or between? I’m just confused about that part and this video did not answer that.
you always drill in the middle of the stud. so the two lines mark where the stud ends and where it begins, so we have placed the x on the middle so that is where you drill. hope that helps. 💪😁👍
I was thinking finding a stud meant that's where an electric wire or something metal would be. So the stud is the place you want to drill,specifically wooden area safe for drilling.
What if you put your stud finder on the noggins initially ?
Always move it from a np zone to a stud zone.. If it beeps immediate go to side and identify it..
That music is just kills it! Rest is good info. I would have liked to hear the beep to understand how it works
If youre going to nail or drill later ...... Just drill or nail starting at one point & nail or drill horizontal across the wall, you can feel the resistsnce when it goes into the stud, easily.

Who’s still lost?
Me
@@lakishasmith2012 me
🤚
Me. Still makes no sense 😩
this particular one is a piece of junk. i’m sure i don’t have studs every 4 inches of my wall! what a POS. i agree with the person who said just buy the best one and then return it 🙄
Bing Bing...you found Me!!!!!🔥
🤣
I work in medicine and I’m an idiot. Thanks for your vast knowledge.
Mine keeps beeping for mo reason idk what to do
Am I doing something wrong. I do everything like you said and my pilot hole is not in a stud. 🥲 and it keeps indicating that there's one lol 😅
Why did you start with a pencil with no lead?
How do you put it somewhere without a stud if you don’t know where the stud is
in some cases you will noticed that the stud finder will beep differently or not turn green or red depending on the stud finder (you can refer to owners manual for specific sound or light beeps or color depending on your particular model or brand). but usually in the corners you have studs so a few inches away from the corners you don't or a few inches from any of the sides from a outlet or light switch because they are usually on studs.
I have better luck having my blind neighbor pointing it out
For me I use a mirror.
Why isn’t mine accurate? I did it exactly like this, yet my wall is full of holes 😭
How 🤔 to find the power lines 😑
But what if there’s only one stud in the whole wall?
So that sing wasn’t A Toy I was always playing with it
