Description of Zircon StudSensor e50 Electronic Stud Finder
|
 Watch the e50 in action. |
 |
The StudSensor e50 quickly and easily locates the edges of wood and metal studs and joists behind walls, floors, and ceilings. It has two scanning modes that allow you to scan more surfaces in your home than normal stud finders:
- STUD SCAN mode locates the edges and center of wood or metal studs in normal walls up to 3/4 inch (19 mm) deep
- DEEPSCAN mode doubles the scanning depth for walls up to 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) deep, and it enables scanning for joists in some ceilings and floors
For the e50, Zircon has wrapped up their proven, patented technology into a revolutionary new form. The e50's new body design can be held comfortably in either hand at any angle and reduces normal scanning errors. The rubber overmolded grip also gives you a secure hold.
In addition to a new shape and updated components, the StudSensor e50 offers several additional features to make finding studs and joists as easy and as accurate as possible:
- Easy-to-read LCD display indicates stud edges
- Updated SpotLite Pointer shines an arrow-shaped light on the wall to mark the target
- WireWarning detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded electrical wiring up to 2 inches (51 mm) deep
- Should scanning begin over a stud, Zircon's patented "over-the-stud" indication alerts the user to start the scan in a new location
- Patented TruCal technology indicates when the tool is calibrated and ready to scan
The StudSensor e50 is a higher-end edge-finding tool, striking the right balance of affordability and features for casual users. Not sure if the e50 is what you need? See the grid below to decide which edge-finding tool is right for you.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Zircon StudSensor e50 Electronic Stud Finder
Customer Review: VERY HAPPY
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very skeptical as to whether this unit would work for my application. I'm a bit familiar with ultrasonic and microwave technology so I expected that it was at least possible for this unit if it used either technology to work.
My application was to recover an old shed roof with half inch pressure treated plywood (mineral impregnated) over 3/8 plywood covered by mineral surfaced 90 weight asphalt felt. I needed to accurately locate the rafters beneath all of that for nails and screws.
Sure enough after starting in a location without a stud the unit fired up and calibrated itself and on the deep setting accurately located the adjacent studs through all of those layers. I was well pleased.
Very much worth the price for getting the job done right and no putting in a buch of unsealed holes or wasting screws and nails.
