Tools and Hardware Reviews of Zircon MultiScanner® i500 Center-Finding Stud Finder with Metal and AC Electrical Scanning and DVD How-To guide
Customer Review: Useless.
Summary: 1 Stars
Just purchased the Zircon Multiscanner i500. In "Stud Scan" mode, I get a "Restart at new location" message almost all the time. Occasionally it might detect one edge of stud, and hasn't yet found both edges. Not once. In "Stud Deepscan" mode, it doesn't detect anything at all. In "AC Scan" mode I ran it all the way around a light switch and it detected nothing. This could be the most useless product ever. Don't waste your money. FYI - I built these walls and know there are studs at 16" spacing, no insulation, standard sheetrock.
Customer Review: Waste of time and money
Summary: 1 Stars
Re-did my attic and knew for a fact there were beams about a foot apart. Had to attach something to do the wall and rather than pulling off the wooden panels, I bought the Multiscanner to find the beams. Spent an hour yesterday and another hour today and the Zircon picked up one beam, but when I went over it again it read nothing. I scanned back and forth and you would think there was only one beam. Finally got fed up and decided to read the Amazon reviews. Well, just as I suspected, this unit's a dud.
Will read other reviews to find something that works.
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit works great and does what it is supposed to, without false or erratic readings. If you are getting poor readings, try a fresh, full power battery. Performance can become erratic with all these devices if the battery is not up to spec.
