Stud finders have been around for years. Some people use magnets to find screws, others put holes in walls until they hit a stud, and there are even those who knock on the wall and claim to hear when they hit a stud (sure, like that’s possible…) There are also traditional stud finders that beep and light up when it finds a piece of wood…or pipe. Well, the latest Walabot 2 DIY in-wall imager allows you to not just find studs, but also pipes and wires to help ensure that you hit the stud exactly in the middle and not on an edge. Not only does Walabot do this, but since it differentiates between studs, wires, and pipes, you won’t have to worry about drilling into a drain stack ever again. Sound interesting?
