- ACCURATE: More sensors = More accuracy. Conventional stud finders have 1 or 2 sensors. The ProSensor 710 has 13, making it the most accurate stud sensing tool on the market.

- EASY: One mode finds it all! The ProSensor 710 adjusts for a variety of depths, materials and textures. No calibration required. Press and hold the button to begin scanning. Unlike other stud sensors that give false readings, the ProSensor 710 allows you to start scanning anywhere, even over a stud.
- DISPLAYS FULL STUDS: The ProSensor 710 displays the center and edges of studs simultaneously, showing single studs, double studs, and irregular configurations that other stud finders cannot detect. Works through drywall/sheetrock, standard lathe & plaster, and more!

They stand by their product and their product is as good a quality or better than any I have used in the past. Spend the money and buy this for your home use or professional work and you won’t regret it. Its worth every penny!
I'm happy to say that the Franklin ProSensor 710 is amazingly good at finding wall studs and ceiling joists. I've used Zircon products and the CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder and I wasn't happy with either of them. Inconsistent results, poor accuracy and a LOT of frustration with these other products.
I had the Franklin out of the box and working in about 2 minutes. Right away it was locating EACH and EVERY wall stud that my other tools were missing due to crowns in the studs or build-up of drywall joint compund. Not only that, it was accurately showing me the edges & width of the stud, something I've never had the pleasure of knowing before. Ditto for ceiling joists. In the past with other stud finders it was kind of an educated guess and you just hoped for the best when you drove a nail. Not any more.
Product is well designed, easy to hold and use, and is very light weight. I get the impression it could also take some jobsite abuse and hold up to it. The bottom surface is flat, but has a spongy flexible section between it and the stud finder. This allows the base to flex around curves in the wall or ceiling and maintain contact with the surface. Very nice feature. Its also has a smooth and softer plastic base than other stud finders. The CH Hanson 03040 is made of very hard plastic and it will scuff your painted walls when you are looking for a stud nail. No so with the Franklin ProSensor. Its much gentler on the walls and ceilings.
The only location I've had difficulty using the ProSensor 710 is over my doors and windows where there should be cripples above the header. The ProSensor doesn't seem to be able to detect those. Perhaps the header is so large is throws-off the ProSensors ability to detect the cripples above it. I'm not sure.
I'm very happy with this product, which is good as it's clearly not inexpensive. However, the time and frustration it is saving me is worth every penny. I'd highly recommend the Franklin ProSensor 710 stud finder.
I found that the depth and precision claims were wholly inaccurate. It would not see through 1/2"-3/4" wainscoting effectively and was mediocre on drywall, only finding studs that you should know already are present (door and window trimmers/ king studs). I was hoping to use it to locate beams through drywall given its wide sensor area - but it was totally useless. I know I asked a lot of it as a stud finder but that was precisely its claim. It may work well in ideal conditions, but so do all stud finders. Performance was so poor and inaccurate, I'm thinking that mine may have actually been defective - that's the only explanation for the other reviews.
Update:
Immediately (within hours) after posting this review I received a phone call from a representative at Franklin Sensors. They indicated that all of their parts are 100% tested, but rarely they do have a defective product in the field. They feel like that may be the situation. They are working out a solution for me and I will update this review again. As for now I've added two stars because of their very quick response to a review on Amazon - very impressive customer service.
2nd Update:
I received a replacement Stud-Finder - It is definitely much better than the first one I received, leading me to be sure that the original was in fact defective. I have used it side by side with your standard run-of-the-mill stud-finders and it outperforms them in all situations. This is a fantastic stud finder, but it still doesn't perform miracles. It still won't see through the thick wainscoting and occasionally gets confused by plaster, but for most drywall applications it's dead on. The string of LEDs are excellent if you need to locate the center of the stud.
An important tip from the manufacturer - If you think you've found a stud, but are getting some extra LEDs or false identifications, move the stud finder vertically up and down the wall to verify the stud location - Also be sure to watch out for fire blocking by turning the unit sideways and checking horizontally. Usually you can figure out what's happening if the first time you put it on the wall something strange happens (like all the LEDs light up).
4 stars for the stud finder itself and 5 stars for fantastic customer service.
