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

Meet The StudBuddy Pro 9 in. L x 4.5 in. W Magnetic Stud Finder — a purpose-built tool designed for speed, accuracy, and silent operation. This orange, battery-free finder delivers reliable metal detection behind walls, helping you anchor fixtures with confidence and avoid costly misplacements.

Key features

  • Magnetic metal detection: Locates metal fasteners and anchors behind drywall, providing a dependable centerline for mounting.
  • 2-inch scan depth: Deep enough to reveal hidden supports without guessing, so you can plan precise screw placements.
  • Battery-free operation: No batteries to replace and no audible alerts—just a straightforward, silent locating experience.
  • High visibility: Bright orange body stands out in busy workspaces, reducing the chance of misplacement.
  • Compact, practical design: At 9 inches long and 4.5 inches wide, it feels natural in hand and offers a stable scanning surface.
  • Package details: Carded packaging with 1 unit per package, backed by a specialized warranty for added assurance.

Ideal use scenarios

Perfect for homeowners, renters, and DIY enthusiasts who need precise mounting without guesswork. Use The StudBuddy Pro to locate the best stud or metal anchor point for:

  • Shelves, cabinetry, and heavy fixtures
  • Mirrors, artwork, and decorative elements
  • Wall-mounted TVs and brackets
  • curtain rods, picture ledges, and other display items

How to use

  1. Place the StudBuddy Pro against the wall and slowly slide horizontally to feel for a magnetic grab on a stud edge or metal fastener.
  2. When the magnet catches, pause and mark the center point for accurate mounting.
  3. Scan nearby sections to confirm spacing before drilling or driving screws.

Why choose The StudBuddy Pro

This magnetic, battery-free finder focuses on real-world usefulness. It provides fast, silent locating of metal supports without the downtime or maintenance associated with electronic sensors. Designed as part of the Pro line, it brings reliable performance to everyday mounting tasks, supported by a specialized warranty for ongoing confidence.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
