Anybody know of a good brand of stud sensor? The Stanley IntelliSensor is pretty worthless and is going back. It usually can’t tell 5/8 drywall from a stud, identifies studs as a steel beam (maybe), and indicates “high voltage” within 3 ft of any outlet or extension cord. My old cheap LED unit was a lot better, but has passed away.
