Handy stud finder
This is a handy little tool. It uses magnets to find where the drywall is screwed in to determine where studs are. It is accurate. It also has levels built in. There are 2 rulers in either side, one in centimeters and one in inches.

Excellent for home projects!
The StudBuddy Plus is a great multi-functional tool that has come in handy for me several times already! I've used it for hanging up shadow boxes on my wall as well as for remounting a TV. I love that along with being a stud finder, it also has a ruler and a leveler to help simplify the amount of tools I need to complete tasks.

Easy solution!
This stud finder is a must for your tool bag. I used to just depend on anchors for hanging shelves or heavy things-not knowing where studs were in the walls. But now I just slide this along my wall until the magnet finds the stud and it just sticks. No hands! Which also makes it very handy for marking my spots to drill.

Simple and Effective
This stud finder is simple, effective, and requires no batteries. When I first tried it, I was concerned it wasn’t working but by following the instructions and moving it across the wall while moving from high to low, I quickly found a stud. The stud buddy stays in place on the stud, so it’s not always necessary to mark the wall.

Good
I really love this. I already had a stud finder but now having one that also helps with leveling things is great. I mean it’s so much easier to put things on my wall now and not have so many tools I need.

Best stud finder
This is a must have! The stud buddy is an all in one for hanging shelving. The magnets stick when it finds your stud, there are horizontal and vertical built in levelers and also a ruler on the top. How have I not ungraded from my old stud finder until now! Works amazing!

Simple to use and accurate
I love this studbuddy tool. It is so simple to use. You just glide it over the wall back and forth and then it will stick to the area where the stud is. Its so simple anyone can use it. Its a decent size and fits in the tool box. Overall this is very handy around the house when needing to find a stud.

Very handy
Love this product! First of all you will never need a battery with it as it works with a magnet. It also has a super useful leveler. Using it takes a little bit of practice but once you get a hang of it it’s great. Highly recommend to have in your arsenal even if you’re a novice

So easy to use, prefer this over a typical beeping style stud finder!
I was skeptical of how the StudBuddy Plus would work as it's only magnetic but we had great success with this and actually prefer it to the more popular beeping style. This will not work on plaster walls but it works best on drywall so keep that in mind. I found this super easy to use and be able to find the studs in our walls. This comes with a level for either direction you have the StudBuddy and measurements for centimeters and inches on both sides. My favorite feature of this being magnetic is because it sticks to the wall, you don't have to mark up your wall with a pencil to keep track of where the studs are. This will just stick to the wall and hold the place of the stud. Highly recommend this product!

Helpful Tool
The StudBuddy Plus sent to me by the Hey Bullseye review program is a unique and innovative product! Unlike other widely used stud finders, the StudBuddy Plus requires no batteries to sense studs and includes levels and a couple length scales (inch and cm) for convenience. There is a "method" to using the StudBuddy Plus which is more complicated than with traditional stud finders and could require more time to find; however, I think the convenience of having a stud finder ready anytime regardless of batteries is worth the extra movement, especially if you're in a rural or nature setting.

Great tool to have
The Stud buddy is a great tool to have in your drawer. It does not need batteries so it's always ready to go even when you haven't used it in a while. It has strong magnets. It has two levels one vertical, one horizontal. It has a grip so that you can use as a ruler. This is a great tool to own.

Handy tool to have
I received this product for free from the Hey, Bullseye™ sampling program in exchange for my honest review. This tool comes in handy when you’re trying to find studs in the wall as it finds them and sticks allowing for easy discovery. Rating it 4 stars as it would be nice if the product had some type of laser light to be able to mark possible stud locations. There is two levels on the product which makes it nice so you can check your item is hung up evenly.

Great features
Great concept but does not work as well as my basic stud finder. I love all of the bells and whistles of how it can stay in the wall and includes 2 different levels. It also has a ruler on the side which is very handy. We had an instance where it would not detect a stud that our old cheap stud finder could find. So not sure how often we will use this, may get more use as a level that can stick to the wall unfortunately.

So easy and simple
I’m surprised just how simple this stud finder is. I kept thinking why hadn’t someone thought of this before. No batteries necessary just simple magnets help you find your studs and it stays up on the wall while you mark and hang your items. Plus it has a built in levels. I’ve used a couple stud finders in the past and this one by far has been my favorite.

Hands Free - No Marks!
BEST stud finder especially for my purposes of hanging decor properly. I love how it not only locates the stud, but also sticks to the wall where there is a stud, so you can leave it there. USA Made. The level is bonus. No batteries are needed.

Reliable and Easy to Use
The StudBuddy Plus is straightforward and easy to use. This easily detects studs behind the drywall. I've used this to hang up pictures and shelves and it works flawlessly every time. It's very lightweight and easily glides against your wall. The felt pads on the back don't cause damage or marks. I love that it has inch and centimeter rulers along the sides to mark where to hang things. When this detects a stud it magnetizes to the wall and stays in place. I love this because I can easily get a nail in without having to hold the stud finder as well. It's simple and easy to use and works every time!

Fun tool
This is a really unique stud finder since you do not need batteries which is a nice bonus. Make sure to read the directions on how to operate it. It looks for the nails/screws that are used in the stud and will stick to it when it is found by the magnet it uses. I also like that it has a level too.

Great product
Super easy tool to use. You have to try it and see it in action. It can take a little bit to find since it needs a nail for the magnet to work. It’s pretty fun to use and I need to put it up because every time I turn around my kids have it hanging on the wall for another stud they found.
