Not the cheapest brand but is a great price for a stud finder that actually works.
Edit: Slightly cheaper at $73.28 if you select to buy from Amazon US from within the Amazon AU page. Free delivery for prime members, expect later delivery date for this international delivery.
CamelCamelCamel.
I do the knock method along with using the thinnest drill bit and still in a line to find the edges of the stud. A bit messy but nothing a quick patch won't fix (or just hidden behind what week be on the wall)
It has been reduced again.
Gone again!
Does anyone think Bunnings will price match?
If only there was a way of discovering that. If only.
had purchased one in december from bunnings, awesome piece of kit
Is this thing supposed to be new? Mine arrived today, the packaging was previously opened and taped back up again.
Mine was brand new and not like what you have described.
Maybe raise a case with amazon.
Thanks, yeah mine doesn't even work - definitely dodgy! They can refund but not exchange because there's no stock left.
I tried using mine with eneloop rechargeables and it wouldnt work . I then tried with non rechargeables and it did work. Something to do with the voltage?
Perhaps thats not why yours doesnt work…. but worth a try before doing the refund.
@Noddy Doldrums: I was able to use ikea rechargeable batteries

@Heybargain: Yes. I had read that. It seems Eneloops themselves are the issue although I was once told the Ikea Ladda batteries are actually Eneloops. Maybe not . Who knows.
Anyway its still worth that person trying different batteries like I did.
Edit. I do have some ikea Ladda's so I will try them out later.
I used Laddas, Eneloops. Wouldn't turn on. Thought I bought a dud sensor. Put in a pair of el cheapo alkaline batteries, it sprung to life.
Thanks everyone! Some crappy AAs worked with mine, Eneloop & Ladda's didn't.
Has anyone who ordered with Amazon US as the supplier had theirs delivered yet?
Yes, ordered on 31/1, received on 8/2, about a week earlier than scheduled.
Thanks for the confirmation. I'll have to follow mine up because it hasn't moved and Amazon seems to indicate I can get a refund even though it may still arrive at some point
I ordered the US one and my order just got refunded without any communication from the seller 😠
I've got a Zircon one from Masters days which I like. It hasn't gone detecting every wall as a live wire like some of the comments about the Stanley one lol.
I tried one of these bar style ones except by a Ryobi and I didn't like it. Sure it would light to the stud but I didn't think it was that hard to do with the traditional one, and it was lacking the AC and metal pipe detection. Felt like a downgrade, less information.
