The StudBuddy®
The world's simplest stud finder. Works with all drywall construction. Made in the USA.
NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON LATH & PLASTER WALLS.
Drywall is hung to wood or metal studs using screws or nails. The StudBuddy utilizes super-strong neodymium magnets to detect those screw/nail heads as you run the stud finder across your wall. When a screw or nail head is detected, The StudBuddy "sticks" to the wall, pointing you to the exact location of these studs.
There are no batteries or moving parts to worry about. The StudBuddy is always ready to work!
Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand and constructed of plastic that won't mark or scratch your walls.
The StudBuddy is the world's simplest stud finder. The StudBuddy stud finder hangs on the wall hands free for visual reference when hanging shelves, cabinets, paintings, mirrors, hooks, televisions and other heavy objects. The simple to use stud finder works with all drywall applications by locating nails and screws in wood and metal studs. No batteries, electronic or moving parts. Made in the USA. Having spent the last 40 years as a framer, carpenter, builder, designer and general contractor, The StudBuddy creator felt there must be a simpler and more accurate way of locating framing studs. Many people get frustrated with using electronic stud finders, the tapping method, or drilling multiple holes to locate studs which can be costly to repair and repaint. Several years ago, while playing with strong neodymium magnets, The StudBuddy inventor suddenly saw the ease of locating drywall nails and screws, and therefore, stud location. Â
