Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

C.H. Hanson Magnetic Stud Finder in a bright pink finish brings a simple, reliable solution to locating studs and metal fasteners behind walls. Measuring 1.5 inches long by 4.56 inches wide, this compact tool delivers quick, precise results with a 5/8-inch scan depth—perfect for precise mounting without guesswork.

How it works is straightforward: the powerful magnet draws toward metal embedded in studs, joists, or wall plates. Glide the magnet across the wall surface until you feel a distinct pull or detect a subtle bump, then mark the spot. No batteries, no electronics, and no setup required—just dependable metal detection.

Key features and details:

  • Magnetic detection – locates metal fasteners behind drywall with a 5/8-inch scan depth.
  • Battery-free design – no batteries to replace or recharge, and no audible alerts.
  • Color for visibility – pink finish makes the tool easy to spot during and after use.
  • Compact and simple – ideal for quick checks when hanging pictures, shelves, mirrors, or towel bars.
  • Packaging and warranty – carded packaging; 1-year limited parts and labor warranty.
  • What it does not do – not designed to detect voltage or live electrical wiring.

Who benefits most from this magnetic stud finder? DIY homeowners, renters renovating spaces, artisans mounting high-use fixtures, and anyone who wants a fast, no-fuss method to locate studs before drilling. It’s especially handy in small apartments or spaces where plugging in electronic devices isn’t practical or where batteries are inconvenient.

Practical tips for best results: glide the magnet steadily across the wall surface, test multiple passes in the area where you expect a stud, and mark the points where you feel the strongest attraction. After locating a stud, move perpendicularly to confirm the center of the stud before drilling or nailing.

Choose this C.H. Hanson magnetic stud finder for a durable, straightforward tool that delivers dependable results without the need for batteries or alarms. It’s a simple, effective option for precise mounting tasks, backed by a 1-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
