How thick of a wood wall will it work on, my walls are 3/4 thick 120 year old pine. I have 2 other finders that will not work, they will work on sheet rock and some 1/2 walls but not the 3/4”: It’s completely dependent on the depth the of the fastener used to attach the wall material. The magnets used in the stud finder can detect a fastener buried up to a maximum of .150” in depth from wall surface. A typical drywall fastener is typically around .035-.050” in buried depth.
Is the LaserMark better?: For jobs that require a greater accuracy, the LaserMark version will locate the stud and mark its location down the wall with a laser line.
Does the product beep or is it silent?: This product is silent and does not beep.
What type of batteries are needed?: This stud finder uses magnetism to find studs, so no batteries are required. The Stud Finder w/ LaserMark version uses two AAA batteries to power a laser layout line.
Will this work to find studs behind drywall and other wall coverings?: Yes. Our magnetic stud finders are designed to find screws and nails in steel and wood studs
