M132/T13 Stud Finder, 13 Sensors, 13 LEDs, Center and Edge Finder

Description

Overview

The M132/T13 Stud Finder (FSM13203MP) is designed for locating wall studs, ferrous metal, plastic, wood, and live wiring behind drywall surfaces with simultaneous center and edge detection.

Technical Features

• 13-sensor array with 13 corresponding LEDs: Provides a wide scan field in a single pass, simultaneously displaying the center and both edges of a stud without requiring multiple sweeps.
• Simultaneous center and edge detection: Eliminates the need to mark both sides and estimate the midpoint, reducing layout time and marking errors.
• +/- 1/4 in detection accuracy: Delivers consistent, repeatable positioning for precise fastener placement.
• Ferrous metal scan depth up to 2 in: Detects pipes, rebar, and metal framing members behind standard drywall assemblies.
• Wood and live wire scan depth up to 1 11/16 in: Identifies wood framing and energized wiring within typical drywall construction depths, supporting safer drilling and fastening decisions.
• Multi-material detection (ferrous metal, plastic, wood): Provides a broader understanding of wall cavity contents beyond stud location alone.
• AA battery power: Uses a widely available battery format for straightforward field replacement.

Applications

• Locating wood studs behind drywall for secure mounting of shelving, cabinetry, and fixtures
• Identifying ferrous metal framing, pipes, or embedded metal objects prior to drilling
• Detecting live wiring paths to reduce the risk of accidental contact during penetration work
• General interior renovation and construction layout on drywall-clad wall surfaces
