How to find a Stud? Magnetic Stud Finder

I used to use those fancy, electronic stud finders. Seems like when I needed them, the battery was dead. Also, who needs all of the features? It’s like selling air conditioners to eskimos.

Frustrated, I went online and found MagnetPAL. And, it is the easiest to use and most accurate stud finder, I have ever used.  It is also reasonably priced.  Here are some tips for using MagnetPAL as a stud finder:

 

                 Background Information:

 

  • Studs are generally 2” x 4” wood beams.
  • Look for a 2” face of wood below the surface.
  • The dry wall is generally screwed to the end of the stud by metal screws.
  • The ‘Building Code’ generally stipulates that studs are 16” apart, in some cases you may find this varying on older or nonconforming. ( Maybe 24”. )

  

                Using MagnetPAL Stud Finder:

  • Hold the MagnetPAL about a ½ inch from the wall.
  • Move the MagnetPAL over the surface until you feel the pull of the MagnetPAL.
  • The MagnetPAL will generally hold in place indicating the crew in the stud.
  • Once you have found one screw, move the MagnetPAL Stud Finder vertically up and down the stud to locate a second screw, confirming that you have found the stud.
  • If you are having difficulty finding the studs, try measuring 16” from the edge of the wall or door jam to help narrow your search.
  • Please note that the MagnetPal could scuff freshly painted walls. A small piece of tape over the MagnetpAL surface can help protect the wall.
