Review: So far it works exactly as needed - It's only been a day since I've had it, but it's exactly what I needed. No frills, no fuss, no headaches, just works. Shows the left and right edges of a stud and of course, the exact middle of it. Shows where electrical lines may be, so you don't accidentally shock yourself. If there's any updates, I will post it.
Review: Unbelievably Impressive - Stud finder’s are a tool every person should have in their toolbox, whether you are a tradesman, handyman, or DYI. As for myself, I am handyman and invested in about 3-4 of them. The reason I decided to try this brand is the previous brands would detect a stud but it was hard to find out where the center was. This is very important because when installing or hanging something, you want to be in the center because the item you are installing can dislodge from the stud and cause damage to the home. In my opinion, THIS BRAND IS THE GREATEST and you will not purchase another after using this product. I speak so highly of this product because of its consistent accuracy of detecting the stud and reveals the center. You actually see the light bar detect the edge of the stud, and then as you maneuver the device, it tracks the stud until you notice a green light, which is the center of the stud-mind blowing!!!! I built a simulated wall with studs, electrical wiring, and sheetrock. So, I did not conceal all of the studs with sheetrock, therefore I could witness exactly what the device is monitoring. I placed the device on the sheetrock and maneuvered side to side, as if I am looking for a stud on a finished wall. As, I reached the edge of the stud, the light-bar illuminated red, which indicated the device had detected the stud. As I continued towards and over the stud, the light-bar continued to illuminate and tracked the stud. However, as I reached the center of the stud, there was a green light in the middle of the device. This product revealed the green light 10/10 tries and every attempt was directly in the center….did I hear someone say marksman! Another impressive feature of the product, “MX150/X990 with live wire detection,” there is an amber lighting bolt on both sides of the device, therefore it can detect live wires. To test this feature, I wired an outlet on two different studs and on opposite sides (left and right), So, not only did the green light reveal the center but also the side the electrical wire was secured. Shockingly, 10/10 times, the amber lighting bolt was correct every time I maneuvered the device close to the wire or over the stud. The product arrived in a small box and neatly seated inside a plastic wrapping with instructions and a thank you card. The instructions were easy to read, clear to understand, and imprinted on the bottom of the device. Once, you remove the item from the box, there is a black cover, and on the left side, there are about 3-5 lifted lines. You gently push away from you and don’t go too fast because on the oppose side of the removable cover are slide inserts, which can break if you are not careful. The product is very durable and thoughtfully constructed. So, nothing should break unless you handle the product very aggressively. As the instructions state, the product does not get shipped with batteries, so you will have to purchase or if you have some around the house, you will need (2xAAA) batteries. After inserting the batteries, reinsert the battery cover, and you are ready to go. Above the battery cover, the handle has 3 wavy indents which are purposely designed for your fingers, typically the index, middle, and ring ringers. Below the handle is a small arch with lifted lines, which is designed for seating your thumb. Now, you have a full grip on the device and it will not fall. After, you have a comfortable grip position on the handle, compress your three fingers and you should notice the device do a quick flash of the led bars. After, you will have to test the device. Do so by compressing the device with your three fingers and with the opposite hand, not holding the device, way you index finger under. You should notice the led bar tracking your finger. Your finger simulates a thin space then density, just like a finished wall with studs-Genius! Once the device is able to track your finger, now you can test the device on the walls and find those studs. Just an fyi, the product was thoughtfully designed to operate ambidextrously (both hands). I was able to hang pictures, televisions with brackets, electrical outlets, and basically anything you want to hang on a wall which you will fasten into the stud. Each attempt, the device pinpointed the of center of the stud and I did not have any self doubt. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this product and very happy with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this sensor detect studs behind ceramic tile like one finds in a shower?**
A: Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there are really no sensors on the market that will go through both tile and the cement board used behind the tile for installation. I do have a couple of recommendations for you though. If the tile in your shower does not go all the way to the ceiling, you can find the studs on the wall above the tile and follow a straight line down to the location of where you would like to complete your project. My other suggestion would be that if the tiled wall where you would like to find the stud is an interior wall, you can find the stud on the other side of the wall (maybe its in the hallway), and measure the distance to a fixed point. Then you can extrapolate the same distance to the tiled wall to locate your stud.

**Q: Can you use this on a textured ceiling or does the surface have to be smooth?**
A: Good question and thank you for reaching out. The simple answer is yes, you can use the M150 on a textured surface. There are a couple of issues to be aware of however. The unit will work best on a smooth surface but will work on texture. Depending on how much texture is on the ceiling can effect the results. It can possibly give off false readings if the texture is heavy. While using the unit on the ceiling, if you think you have located a stud/joist, continue to hold down the button and run the unit along the length of the stud/joist. Studs/joists typically will run the entire length of the wall/ceiling. This way you can verify your findings.

**Q: Is it sensitive to insulation in the wall?**
A: Great question. Our sensors use the change in density to find hidden object behind the drywall. Our engineers have adjusted the amount of sensitivity that the sensors can detect so that insulation will not be detected because it does not have a high density.
Short answer: No, it will not detect insulation.

**Q: Will find aluminum studs used in RV's?**
A: Yes it will find aluminum studs behind drywall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fastest, most repeatable and most accurate stud (and power) finder that I've ever used!
*by G***Y on July 23, 2025*

Best studfinder I've ever seen. I tried a couple of others but they weren't giving repeatable results and weren't very good at actually finding studs, which is a problem. The Franklin ProSensor X990 gives me repeatable results every time. Another feature I like is that the leds will begin to turn red in the direction of the stud you're about to go over, and then shows the center led as green when you're in the middle of the stud. Works every time and only takes a few seconds to find the stud. Plus it also has two leds shaped like lightning bolts that light up when there's a power cable in the wall that you're going over. Since I had bought a Teslong Inspect-5ft borescope and had to drill holes in the same wall for drywall anchors, I used the anchor holes to inspect behind the wall and confirmed that in two different walls that there were indeed electrical cables behind the wall. In one case it was easy to expect power due to the wall switch being in that area, but in another, there was no clear outside indication that were was a power cable behind the wall so I was surprised when the Franklin's power indicators first came on. This is now my go-to stud finder since its so quick and easy to use and always on target. Very accurate and very sensitive, but doesn't give false positives, and is even ergonomically designed so it feels comfortable while moving it across the drywall.
