About this item

  • Detect metal through 1/2" or 5/8” drywall, ceramic tiling, 3/4" plywood paneling, and other thick building materials.
  • MAGNETIC – Stud Ball uses a rare earth magnet to detect metal through walls. This stud magnet never struggles to find the precise location of any metal frames, screws, or nails. The natural magnetic force locks on to any metal it finds.
  • STRONG – The spherical shape of the Stud Ball Magnet produces a higher magnetic field, allowing it to accurately detect metal behind thick building materials. The round magnet also has less flux leakage, keeping its magnetism for a longer period.
  • RELIABLE – Stop fiddling with battery-operated stud finders that can be faulty and prone to breaking. A magnet ball stud finder is always ready to use and has a consistent strength, meaning you can trust it is showing you the right spot to drill or cut every time.
  • FAST - Find 40 or more studs in a wall with 5/8” drywall in less than a minute. Simply use the finger loop to move the Stud Ball across the wall and the magnetic screw finder will immediately stop at the exact location of any screws, plates, or frames. This is the fastest and most accurate drywall stud finder available.


The stud Ball is a protected magnetic stud finder that will out perform and other type of magnetic stud finder on the market. Unlike other steel stud finders, the stud Ball can detect metal through 1/2″ or 5/8″ drywall or other thicker building materials. Will also work through ceramic tiling and up to 3/4″ plywood paneling

This is a great stud finder for finding Sheetrock screws and other ferrous materials behind Sheetrock. Very small and easy to use. Felt a little expensive for the money at the start but I have used this so many times that it’s absolutely been worth the price. Function is simple: run the rubber back against the wall and it will stick to the wall directly over a screw. It has worked every time for me. Fantastic purchase.

That flexible band is what makes it work. It'll hover off the wall and then suddenly tap, and you found a screw/nail. If you use the bare magnet side against a light colored wall, it'll leave a mark sometimes, which is easier than grabbing a pencil. If you don't love that feature, the other side has a plastic bumper.Also, it's just one of the more powerful magnets I have around, so I find myself reaching for it for all sorts of reasons--Picking up a screw I dropped; Holding paper to the wall.A very simple tool, but it's really nice to use.

I've spent lots of money buying electronics stud finders and this is the simplest most accurate way I've found and almost 30 years in the trades

I work in construction and usually use my level to find screws in studs which sometimes can scratch the finished product. Not with this it works better and quicker thanks to the strength of the magnet. Makes getting the job done faster ensuring I never get laid off.

This is a strong magnet. It worked on metal studs and made the job super easy.

VERY strong magnet. It WILL find the nail and therefore the stud or rafter tail you are looking for. That's the good news. The bad news is, it WILL stick to anything ferrous metal in your tool box. Kind of a hassle, but I still love it. I lost it yesterday and finally found it hanging off my belt buckle, LOL. The other downside I didn't anticipate is you better be very careful with it around any magnetic recording media like a cassette tape or magnetic recording tape of any kind, or a credit card that still uses a magnetic strip and not a chip. I'm sure this magnet would instantly erase any of those.

This proved extremely helpful in locating screws in a drywall ceiling for removal. Made the job much easier!Not high tech and worth every penny for time saved!

I like the unit, very powerful magnet and easy to use. Pricey, but I hoped to mitigate that by ordering the 2-pack and discovered it wasn't eligible for free shipping, so with shipping the 2-pack would end up costing pretty much the same per unit as just buying the one.

If you’re a builder, remodeler, homeowner that ever does any work on your home, this is a tool kit must have. It works really well and accurately. The magnet is strong and makes it very clear where the screws or nails are! The only problem you’ll have is it will stick to things in your tool belt! A must have in my book and a 1000x more useful than a hand held electronic gadget.

The best stud finder ever invented. I have bought several for gifts. I leave it stuck on my wall and it has become quite a conversational piece.
