Oh yeah I totally forgot about the fancy ones. Never loved using them much but I’m sure that’s what the kids call “skill issue.” I’ll lay my life on the line defending the honor of my Stud Buddy though
Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right

I use a stud finder and a rare earth magnet with a small light metal chain that (if the stud is plumb) perfectly shows where the stud is.

Except some places use glue and 3 screws in the stud. Top bottom and middle.

Gnomes. Gnomes live inside and use magic to tell you where the stud is. That’s show it works.

THANK you. Finally, someone tells us what’s really happening in there.

Those gnomes are pretty shit at magic then. I’ve yet to encounter a stud finder that works more than 40% of the time which is just enough to keep you using it but not quite enough to be useful.

Skill issue tbh
