Hi @trevorlovegrove,

Let me extend a very warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We're so pleased to have you join us and look forward to reading all about your projects. I assume you have big plans ahead! 

One of our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts in @EricL recently wrote a guide How to use a stud finder and I'm sure he will be happy to assist when he's back on the site later today. Other members have also previously shared their thoughts in this discussion: Which stud finder do you recommend?

Hope that helps kick off the discussion.

Hi @trevorlovegrove,

There are plenty of stud finders to choose from. If you are looking for a basic device that can detect both timber and steel studs, then I can recommend the Stanley S100 Stud Sensor as a no-frills option that will get the job done.

Please let us know if you have any questions or would like further information.
