I want one!!!

When I go on the website for the Franklin Sensors where to buy section.....there are only states and no provinces for Canada.

I sent them an email.

Let's wait and see if they tell me where to get one around here!

Amazon.com will not ship to canada :-(

Just ordered one.

I'm headed back home to Edmonton for Christmas so I can bring a few back with me for anyone who wants one in Canada.

I received mine today. It tested nicely on the drywall; the single-stud light indicator range was about 1.5". It was unable to precisely locate a stud behind a plywood shear wall; the single-stud light indicator range was about 5". A neodymium magnet tool is still required in your kit to find the drywall screws.

If this tool added a neodymium magnet (even if it was removable) and also had AC warning scan it would be complete.

I used a Post-it note on the wall to mark each side of the range when the lights changed status; otherwise, it's tough to feel confident you have the middle of the stud. If there was a continuous strip of small LEDs you could have more confidence that what you're seeing on the display is actually the edge of the stud.

I'm not sure what each sensor costs, but idea of using more of them makes a lot of sense.

Looks cool. Would be nicer if they streamlined it a little. Maybe reduce the height by 50% so that it fits in a tool bag pocket.

I'll take one too and pay for you to ship it to me.

Yeah, it doesn't fit in my crowded tool bag. The (2) AA batteries are in the handle. It would be nice if that handle rotated flat into the device for storage. There really is no need for the handle to be that large. In fact, the whole device could just be a 10" strip and maybe add measurement markings and a level to the list for the perfect device.

Side note: why is it that nearly all levels are missing measurement markings?

Thanks!

I just ordered mine on smarthome. Do not bring one back for me now...

We can also use coupon code E7BT485 to get 9.99$ off the order.
