Craftsman Stud Finder vs. Competitor: Tested Depth, Precision on Tap… Know Before Buying!
"Between the drywall and the plaster, we knew depth precision was key—and the CRAFTSMAN Stud Finder, 3/4-Inch (CMHT77633) delivered more than we expected. Instantaneous LED signals confirmed exact 3/4-inch marks where competitors sometimes faltered, leaving us questioning the 'close-enough' claim. Our tests across old drywall speeds and even over uneven studs showed reliable discrimination, reliably squaring us against potential moles. Plus, the ergonomic design minimized arm fatigue after hour-long installations. While not without its limitations, our findings suggest this stud finder stacks up, especially if the 3/4-inch depth aligns with your framing needs. At a competitive price, it’s one of the most practical tools we’ve encountered in this category."
