ProSensor 710
across 3 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Wide LED array shows stud edges and center clearly, making identification intuitive
  • Thirteen sensors detect studs accurately through standard half-inch drywall and some thicker materials
  • Runs on two AA batteries instead of harder-to-find nine-volt batteries
Reviewers push back
  • No electrical wire or pipe detection to warn of hazards behind walls
  • Performance degrades through multiple layers of drywall or thick obstacles
  • Some units may stop working or behave inconsistently over time
Reviewers agree the ProSensor 710 is a reliable, user-friendly stud finder that consistently locates studs through standard drywall and some obstacles, though it lacks electrical wire detection.
— best for: Homeowners and DIYers who hang shelves, cabinets, or mirrors on standard drywall walls and want straightforward, visual stud location without extra features.

I own just about all the standard stud finders out there and this one is much better and less frustrating to use….. my ultimate nemesis was my recent garage shelving project with a drywall layer over a plywood covering the studs….. I have used magnets which in this case weren’t helpful to consistently find all the studs….. this stud finder was able to find the studs as well as identify where they SW F. · everymarket.com/
