The Ryobi StudTech™ locates wood and metal studs in walls. It features a sleek, high-impact case and a built-in clip.
Use StudTech for depths up to 3/4 in. (19 mm) with +1/4 in. (6 mm) center accuracy.
Depending on the proximity of electrical wiring or pipes to the wall surface, the StudTech™ may detect them in the same manner as studs. Caution should always be used when nailing, cutting or drilling in walls, floors and ceilings that may contain these items. To avoid plumbing, electrical, etc., remember that studs or joists are normally spaced 16 in. (406mm) or 24 in. (610mm) apart and are 1-1/2 in. (38mm) in width. Anything closer together or a different width may not be a stud, joist or firebreak. Always turn off the power when working near electrical wires.
The StudTech™ is designed for use on dry interior walls only. Three primary factors can affect sensing depth: Thickness, density and moisture content.
The StudTech™ is not designed to handle materials with inconsistent density such as:
