DeWalt DW0150 1-1/2" Stud Finder

This is just not an acceptable product. Please DeWalt product team, just buy a Franklin sensor so you can see how well a stud finder can work. 99% of my tools are DeWalt. This product felt cheap. The proximity yellow lights were very inconsistent. The red light and beep would work most of the time close to the edge of the stud but often would miss and even when it found a stud, it would be difficult to determine the center of it because it would not stay on.

Great stud finder. But, why does it play the first three notes to funky town?

Just bought this. Tried to use it for 2 closet remodel. It’s useless, will never say the stud is in the same place. Most of the time it doesn’t show any studs. The electric part goes off randomly also. I’m a big Dewalt guy and was really let down on this one.

I absolutely love DeWalt tools however this one does not measure up the the quality we are used to. It is slow to register and not always 100% accurate. Is there a better version Dewalt stud finder that is more reliable?

A lot of false positives, detects AC in a new wall with no power. Detects studs where there are none. Cannot zero-in on a stud or it's center.

This thing couldn't find itself it was up it's on you know what. 8 missed holes later and nothing but drywall, granted it's a old house but the walls are thin. Junk, just use a stud buddy.

I bought this to find studs for hanging cabinets worked great it was accurate the electrical finder is a nice added bonus . Fair price

I bought this one at Home Depot today, And it came with zero explanation. Any time I hit the button even without touching the wall it lights up and beeps once. The same happend when I thought I had a stud. Any help would be appreciated it. I can’t really write a good review if I can’t figure out.

So first off, I was very displeased with this stud finder, I was about to return it. However since my old stud finder stopped working(not dewalt) I had no choice but to try this unit again. I'm rather glad I gave it another go. After giving it more time after pressing the power button, and going slower, this unit worked flawlessly every single time. However I was working on a known wall that I just sheetrocked, but was still a tad hesitant when I went to an unknown wall to hang the cabinets that needed to go up. But going slower and giving this little thing some time to "warm up" each time I used it, I became very confident in it's ability to do what it's advertised to do. However the instructions that are included with this stud finder are a joke. Also you have to move it fairly slow, which I'm not used to with other brands. But all in all I'm very happy with it.

Performs as described. Very usefull and simple to use tool. Kudos to DEWALT!
