SERIOUSLY, to be used by the blind????
People with severe vision impairment can do many things, but construction projects are best left to people who can see what they are doing. The blind??? They should definitely leave any type of construction project to someone else.

Forgive my skepticism. I will cautiously read more about this tool and look forward to any observations the forum members who purchased this unit have to offer but I have to be honest. With these things, I will hope for the best and expect the worst. History with these types of tools and myself has unfortunately not been a good one.

Studs are located every 16 inches off center.
Very generally speaking in very perfect world. Some are 24, more than you think. If you find one stud and start drilling holes every 16 inches you are going to be disappointed in a hurry!
Stud spacing varies depending on other construction requirements in the structure. Like holding the floor above it up or an attaching wall on the other side.
You have to check and verify every stud every time, without fail. Drywall repair is cheep compared to the alternative. I just hung a TV and the Franklin was giving me fits so I opened up the wall and found that there was a 2x6 mounted flat to the drywall of the opposing drywall, for what reason we never figured out, but it was there and the Franklin was alerting me to it, and the tapping test was useless in its detection.
If that Franklin Stud Finder gives you a weird reading that does not seem right, TRUST ME, there is a reason and you must investigate.

Am in the cabling and installation biz and most people don't realize how off things can be... Measuring and keeping yourself to the standard number is the surest way to waste time.. A good stud finder is essential. Got the Franklin and that was it ... My techs swear by it.
