Hello Tony. We're sorry to hear your HD900 is not functioning properly for you. There are variables in construction that can cause a StudSensor to give false readings and quite often these issues have to do with the environment you’re operating on. There are tried and true techniques we can help you with that can explain why the tool is reacting to density changes that may not be studs and will also promote consistent scanning results. We would be happy to trouble shoot this with you, whatever the problem may be. We stand behind our product. Please contact us through the Zircon website and we’ll figure it out for you. Thank you. zircon

    Paid three times more for this unit than the cheapest. Used on a stucco wall but could not find the studs. Indicated a different location for studs every time I tried it. Finally had to use anchor bolts.

    Hello Mike. We're sorry the HD900 didn't work on your stucco wall but it is stated on the packaging that it is meant for Indoor Use Only. This is due to the many variables in outdoor construction techniques and materials which may cause the tool from functioning properly with stucco being one of examples of this. Stucco has metal screening in it which prevents stud sensors from calibrating properly. Thank you. zircon

    Fairly accurate
    This is one of the better stud finders that I have tried; still not 100% accurate.

    Not nearly as accurate as proclaimed stud finding. Additionally, the device misinterpreted copper pipe plumbing fixtures as wiring. I would not recommend this product.

    Hello Bruce. The HD900 does more than just locate studs. It also has a metal finding capability mode and an AC scan mode which will find live unshielded ac wiring. If you need help with these features please contact us through the Zircon website. Thank you. zircon

    Waste of my money
    I have a squeaky floor. I tried to find floor studs above a low crawl space. Like people say, it finds studs where they aren't and not where they are. Seems to work OK on walls but I could have bought the cheaper one for that.

      The scanner seemed confused. It didn’t consistently identify where a stud was. It would scan a stud the first time around but then not acknowledge it a second time. I still don’t know where the studs are.

      Bad purchase
      I don’t recommend this product it detects stud where they aren’t. I thought it was a good tool because the price is high.

        Blah !!!!
        I got this in the hopes it would read through doubled up 5/8" drywall but it was unreliable and didn't like it on single 5/8" drywall either, was no better than my old 2 stud finders which was a Zircon & Precision from Costco, so I figured I would try the Franklin Sensors M210 and boy am I glad I did, it never gave me a false stud or wire reading when I tested, not to drill holes yet and reads through the doubled up 5/8" drywall no problem what so ever !!!! Franklin Sensors M210 is better.

          Wall Scanner
          Needed to mount grab bars in tiled shower. The scanner readout was inconsistent as I went across the wall. Spent more time trying to repeat reading!!! Returned the unit.

          Not worth buying if you are dealing with older homes with real plaster and lath boards.

          Hello Ronald. Because of the varying density of materials that make up lath and plaster constructed walls, a standard stud sensor tool (such as many of the Zircon StudSensor products) will not work to find studs (this is stated on the packaging).The preferred technique would be to use a Zircon Studsensor that includes a “metal scan” mode such as the HD900 that you have.. This will allow you to search out and map the nails that hold the horizontal lath pieces to the studs. This way it’s possible to map out the studs accurately. Check out Zircon’s website for detailed instructions on lath and plaster stud finding technique. Thanks. zircon

          Works great! Very impressed with the stud finder and electrical finder. Have not used the metal finder yet, but I’m sure that will work great too.
