Find studs safely. Don't drive a nail into a live electric wire! The StudSensor™ SL-AC automatically detects hot AC wiring up to 3 inches deep whenever you use it to find studs. With StudSensor Pro SL, it's easy to hang pictures, mirrors, cabinets, and shelves securely. Find studs first and do the job right--without guesswork. No need to make exploratory holes to find studs. Studsensor Pro SL can find wood or metal studs behind walls, floors, or ceilings in either normal or DeepScan mode. DeepScan gives you more sensitivity if your walls are extra thick (up to 1-1/2 inches). Only Zircon stud finders have the Spotlite® Pointing System that locates the edges of the stud with a bright beam of light. StudSensor Pro SL is built tough to withstand daily jobsite use, and is built ergonomically to fit comfortably in your hand.
