Zircon Multiscanner A200 Electronic Wall Scanner / Metal Detector/ Live AC Wire Detection With SpotLite Pointer

I needed a stud finder and choose this one because it supposedly finds multiple things in the wall. It works as described! I have used it successfully several times. It fits my hand well. It's easy to use. It's easy to read. I'm very comfortable with this product and recommend it.

This scanner works great my Navion RV and helped me tremedously for a smog check. Never change the chassis battery right before a smog check as the vehicle can loose all the codes needed to pass. I ultimately had to have the DEF tank replaced and then used this again to check when all codes were clear.

That’s what it’s supposed to do. Fine studs nice fit in the hand accurate

The media could not be loaded. I seem to go through stud finders about every 5 years or so. They just seem to stop working well after some time. I usually buy the cheaper models, so I guess I should expect that. This Zircon is a step up from what I usually buy. There are a few things I like about this model (A200) and a few minor things I don't. The things I like are the accuracy when it finds a stud and the red light on center. The ability to show electrical is great. This is a new feature for me. One great feature is the battery indicator. I have found that stud finders are quite particular about having a fully charged strong battery in them. In the cheaper models you don’t know the battery is weakening and you start having problems or difficulties. Usually, a fresh strong battery is the solution. This one is no different. I installed a “new” battery but right away it showed it was low and the device has some operational issues. I found another new battery that was strong, and the device worked fine. Seeing the charge level of the battery is a great feature.The things I don't like are the size.... it is kind of large in my hand. Also, it is a little touchy with regard to finding studs, sometimes it reads falsely, you really need to go over a suspected stud a few times to make sure you have a stud. This is no different than others I have used.Also, this has a metal search, great for finding pipes and such.Overall, this is a good device for the money. I wish it was a little smaller and didn’t get false reading like it does from time to time but these are minor issues.Positives:• Nice large screen• Full featured, electrical, stud, metal scan• Battery monitor when low• Clear lighted indication of center of stud• Reasonable costNegatives:• Rather large size in hand• Can get false reading sometimes.Honestly this is a good device. I think it could be made a little better, perhaps a rechargeable built in lithium battery instead of these 9 volts and a smaller more ergonomic design but again, this is a solid device that I expect years of service from, and my dislikes are pretty minor.Recommended 5 stars.This is my honest review of this item; I hope this it was helpful in your buying decision process.

Worked as I expected for a stud finder in this price range. I could consistently find the center of the stud to less than 1/4 inch. It can easily find an electrified AC wire set an inch behind dry wall and I've used it to find light balasts embedded in the wall that were not marked to install LED ceiling lights. There is no doubt this a big step up from a cheaper sub 50 dollar stud finder

I had a big round of remodeling coming up, so I decided to upgrade from my old studfinder (probably from Sears 20 years ago) and go with this one. It's about the same honestly. I'll give it points for the nice display; if it actually finds a stud it does a nice job showing the center, but my old one was fine too - just sweep from both directions and split the difference. This one performs about the same as my old one in terms of false positives and false negatives. I've had to resort to guessing, knocking, and drill-every-inch methods more times than I'd like in recent weeks having purchased this. If you don't have a studfinder, maybe this one is ok at its price point. If you do have a decent one, don't expect this to be an upgrade. I'm looking at the Bosch GMS 120 as a potential upgrade to this one.

Have went through a few brands and styles. This one’s the best so far. Even went through a tile shower to find a stud.

It works, but it's not always spot-on. I often have to scan the same area more than once or double-check with another tool to confirm the results. For basic tasks, it's fine-but don't expect perfect accuracy evtime. Still a decent tool overall, just be prepared to verify your findings.
