Hyper Tough Electronic Stud Finder, 9-Sensor HYPR9, Wood/Metal Stud and Live-Wire Detection

$37.99. In stock.

The Hyper Tough HYPR9 is an electronic stud finder built for drywall projects, using a 9-sensor design to scan the wall and locate wood or metal studs before you drill, mount, or hang. It works by capacitive sensing, reading changes in density behind the wall surface so it can detect both wood and metal framing at a depth of up to 1.5 in. Getting started is straightforward: there's no calibration procedure, so you simply press and hold the button to begin scanning. As you move across the wall, the LED display shows stud center and edges, and the middle LED turns green to indicate stud centers, helping you mark positions accurately for everyday tasks like hanging shelves, mounting a TV, or installing curtain and towel rods. The HYPR9 also includes AC wire detection to help you identify live wires as you scan, and a built-in caddy holds a pencil right on the tool so a marker stays with you during wall-layout work.
