StudBoss Digital LCD Stud Finder REVIEW (Updated for 2020)

The StudBoss Digital LCD stud finder is one of the cheaper stud finders out there.
But is it genuinely a quality bargain or do you just ‘get what you pay for?’

There’s no denying the simplicity of the Studboss Digital, it’s almost impossible to become confused by.
It has 3 different modes for detecting studs, metal pipes or AC wires and an LCD screen to help you navigate between them.

StudBoss  Stud Finder Best Qualities

 

The visual bars arise on the screen when a detection has been made, whilst the audible alert won’t let you pass over anything without frantically beeping at you – you’re not going to miss any positive readings.

Having the 3 modes makes it more practical than using different instruments for each type of detection.
Whilst this does then pose the problem of having to manually switch between each mode, it’s surely worth the extra time and effort (clicking a button and scanning again) for its low price.

Accuracy and precision are what you’re really looking for in a stud finder, so you can get the job done quickly and without error.

The Studboss claims to show you exact locations of studs up to 19mm deep but has been found to occasionally identify stud locations that are slightly off target, which isn’t really what you want after spending time scanning.

 

 

Things to know before buying StudBoss Digital LCD Stud Finder

 

Though the instructions state that it will indicate where stud edges are when they are beneath the center of the product, often the device will alert you to detection as soon as it begins to pass over it, meaning results can be up to an inch off target.

This problem can also be caused by human error, as without a built-in marker the good old fashioned pencil is required to mark out positions of detections, mistakes can easily be made.

The accuracy can easily be improved though, so there’s no need to disregard the product based on that.

By repeating scans and honing in on the detection you’ll get a clearer idea of the precise stud or cable location and also eradicate any human error.

A common worry with buying cheaper products is that they might not be made as well as they should be, and as a result, they are easily breakable.

This product, however, comes with a hard outer case, protecting it from the wear and tear of DIY.

 

Additionally, to protect both the Studboss and the surface you use it on there are soft velcro straps attached to prevent any scratches.

So whilst this stud finder may be cheaper than most, it should still serve you well and be fairly long-lasting.

Providing you’re not throwing it around too much, the only replacements you’ll need to buy will be replacement batteries, not a whole new product.

 

Faqs:

Conclusion:

This stud finder is undoubtedly one of the cheapest you’ll find and will do the job. It’s quick and easier to use than some more high tech models.

If you need a stud finder for everyday use, a more advanced model might be a better investment, particularly if you need to detect studs hidden deeper than 19mm or if you were hoping for a built-in marker (a lazy requirement but we all love a good shortcut).

The Studboss Digital LCD is perhaps better for the odd DIY job around the house, like mounting a picture or the TV for example, and for the price, you can’t complain!
