The best way to find wood studs is with Walabot's visual stud finder, for real. It's true there are many options available out there. But there’s only one wood detector that lets you see through walls, so you can find studs, plumbing, electric wires, and more.
Do you want to find wood studs in the old way?
Then, there are a couple options:
- Look for Visual Clues: Check around electrical outlets and light switches for stud locations.
- Tap the Wall: Knock on the wall and listen for a solid sound indicating a stud.
- Measure from a Corner: Measure 16 or 24 inches from a known stud to find the next one.
- Use Magnets: Move a strong magnet across the wall to locate metal screws or nails in those wood studs.
Why Walabot to find those wood stud?
What if you could see through walls? Amazingly, with Walabot, what was once a fantasy has become a reality. Where other wood stud finders merely sense the presence of metal and provide users with a “ping”, this innovative wood detector uses radio frequency waves to penetrate common building materials and reveal the exact location of studs, pipes, and more. It even shows where pests are hiding.
How Walabot DIY 2 Works ?
When passed over the wall, Walabot bounces its radio waves over objects inside. It is then able to show you what’s inside the wall in a few different ways. There are three modes to choose from:
- Images Mode – Here, Walabot shows you the location of objects such as metal or wood studs, plumbing pipes, and electric wires in real time. This imaging feature also shows the location of pests such as termites, rats, and mice. Clear graphics make it easy for you to determine what kind of object you’re viewing in Images Mode.
- Expert Mode – In Expert Mode, Walabot DIY 2 displays images of the raw radio frequency signals. It’s great for finding what are called anomalies, like the center of a stud. Or it can be used for pinpointing intersecting objects. It’s also ideal for tracing the path of wire or pipe, including recessed wires.
Is Walabot Easy to Use?
Where some wood stud finders and wall scanners are tough to decipher, it’s easy to learn how to use Walabot. Just remember you’ll need an Android/iOS phone with the “Walabot DIY” stud finder app installed for it to work. Once you’ve connected the device to your phone, using the Wi-Fi connection created by your Walabot (no external Wi-Fi required), you’ll need to calibrate it before each use. There’s nothing tricky about this process; it simply involves passing the unit over the wall so that it can determine optimal penetration depth and provide you with accurate results. After selecting which viewing mode you’d like to work with – Images or Expert – you can use Walabot as a wood stud finder for hanging heavy objects while providing yourself with the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing the exact location of plumbing and electric wires.
