Stud Detectors

[Noel]

Looks like I need a new one as my old Stanley Inteli thing does not like being upside down on ceilings. I see some of the better ones now have leccy detection, which would be handy. Was looking at the Bosch DMF Zoom but, as well as being very spendy, get as many poor reviews as good ones. Zircon?Another Stanley? (The grey Pro Sensor looks ok http://www.stanleytools.co.uk/product/159651 and cheap off the 'bay) Or what? Anybody got as views or personal experience? I've used a magnet and metal detector in the past but would prefer an all in one.

TIA.

They are all duff. Tried 'em all. None work consistently or reliably.

I bought the Bosch one around £80 but dont trust what is telling me anymore. Seems to contradict itself all the time.

Seems to be a common opinion on most.

Yes, this seems to back your opinion up although nice tool, was trying one out yesterday:

Hi, I have a stanley intellisensor digiscan 0-77-250 that I was thinking of putting on Ebay actually. Its in the packaging with the instructions, used a couple of times.

Here's a link to the same one on Ebay now:

Would be happy with £10 all in, including the postage.
