Review of the Zircon MultiScanner I520 Center-Finding Stud Finder

Finding wall studs behind your drywall or plaster can be a trial and error accomplishment evidenced by unnecessary screw and nail holes. Hanging pictures or other small and lightweight objects on your wall can be accomplished without driving a nail into the wall studs however larger objects such as coat hangers and flat screen television mounts properly secured to the wood beneath can be crucial.

Another possible problem and safety issue when it comes to blindly driving nails or screws into your walls can be the chance of pinching electrical wires. Not only do you stand the chance of getting electrocuted but you also run the risk of electrical fires if the wiring behind your wall happen to get damaged while completing your project.

If you have browsed the tool section at your home improvement store, you may have seen many different types of stud finding devices for sale. The difference between the Zircon MultiScanner i520 Center-Finding Stud Finder and other comparable brands is the neat addition of electrical system sensing. This will allow you to check for the presence of electrical wiring and current behind the area you are working on, enabling you to avoid a potentially dangerous situation.

The device employs laser technology to allow you to accurately point to stud locations and the LCD screen will tell you how dense the wood stud is behind the wall. You also have an audible tone setting that will sound off whenever the wall stud is centered, which is a common feature for most other electronic stud finders on the market today.
