Tools and Hardware Reviews of Zircon MultiScanner i700 Center-Finding Stud Finder with Metal and AC Electrical Scanning and DVD How-To guideCustomer Review: Very Good Stud finder with some nice features Summary: 5 Stars
After tossing my 10-year old Zircon stud finder in the trash for misleading me, I looked online to see what was the current best stud finder. To my surprise, the Zircons were mentioned as some of the best - right alongside the Stanley Fatmax 500, which can theoretically find a stud through marble tile or two sheets of drywall, but I couldn't find this model.
I took the i700 home and put it to work; the sensitivity was great as was the way in which both edges of the stud are found so you can find center. A nice little value for this model is it's ability to also mark the center point using the little, built-in pencil it has - just pull the switch down and 'mark', you have it. I also appreciated the backlit display as well as the laser guidance when the center of the stud is found.
The other nice feature of this model is it's ability to detect metal (in case you want to try and find the drywall screws instead of studs) and hot/live wires in the wall (so you don't get electrocuted pushing a screw into some electrical wires).
Customer Review: Zircon 61962 Multiscanner is excellent Summary: 5 Stars
Very easy to use with an easy to read display. Highly accurate stud location. My only complaint is that the unit is rather large, but overall I am very pleased with it.
Customer Review: Zircon stud finder Summary: 3 Stars
I bought one of these and later rerurned it. It was not very accurate and for the money it should be.
Customer Review: amazing Summary: 5 Stars
I had an older Zircon stud finder and it was always a frustration. I bought this i700 Zircon and was stunned at how the technology had improved. It came with elaborate instructions and even a DVD, but I didn't need any of that. It was intuitive and took me about a minute to figure out. The battery was even included.
I tested it on a wall in which I knew where the studs were located. It was dead accurate. It has several modes, clearly marked: wood studs, metal studs, AC... It displays in red letters which mode it is in, and shows a graphic for the edge and middle of the stud. When you hit the middle of the stud a red beam projects straight out from the device. If you push a central bottom (clearly labeled) it will even leave an erasable mark. No need for a pencil. You can do it all with one hand.
This is the perfect stud finder. I can't praise it enough.
Customer Review: as good as any I've used Summary: 4 Stars
While no stud sensor I have ever used has been 100% accurate, this one does as good of a job as any. No significant complaints.
