Editorial Review :

Finding a wall stud behind sheet rock or paneling used to be a hit and miss routine, but the new Zircon stud finders have taken the "miss" out of the equation. The i500 scanner is a five-function scanner that can locate the exact center of a wall stud behind paneling or sheetrock up to 3/4 inches deep or up to 1-1/2 inches deep when set to DeepScan Mode. The scanner can locate copper and other non-ferrous metal up to 1-1/2 inches deep or it can locate ferrous metal such as rebar up to 3 inches deep in concrete. This is a handy feature when repairing cracked or damaged foundation walls.

After you have located the wood or metal studs you can set the i500 to AC Tracing or AC WireWarning to locate hot electrical wiring that you want to avoid when nailing or cutting into the wall or ceiling cavity. Even AC wiring incased in plastic conduit cannot hide from the i500. The i500 also includes a large easy-to-read back-lit LCD screen and easy-to-understand, on-screen graphics and an audio signal to indicate the target area. A patented SpotLite Pointing System also shines a bright beam of light over the target's center that is easy to see even when working in low light conditions. Use the i500 to hang cabinets, pictures, mirrors, and shelves or to install ceiling fans, grab bars, and chandeliers. You can also use the i500 to locate metal pipes behind tile or in concrete or to find conduit, rebar, electrical boxes, exhaust vents, and ducting. An important safety feature is the ability of the i500 to locate and trace hot wires behind walls, floors, and ceilings. --D. Barnett

Don't waste money

I brought one at Target clearance for $12. It meant to replace our wood stud scanner, which is in his last leg. Turns out our last leg stud scanner is still out better the this Zircon one. This Multiscanner only displays "restart in another location" and nothing else. Too late to return, what a waste!

Does not work

The i500 claims to be able to find wiring, plumbing and of course studs. After 2 housrs of trying I gave up trying to find studs through 5/8" drywall. Avoid this product.

Does not work.

I read the reviews and purchased this anyway from Lowes; my big mistake. I spent over an hour carefully marking for a 7 foot shelf standard bracket. I re-checked the findings several times and had consistent readings using the scanner left-right and right-left. I even used the metlal mode because the house has some aluminum studs and got the same readings. I drilled five holes and missed the stud every time. As I prepared to insert toggle bolts I peered into the hole and saw the stud. The scanner missed the center of the stud by 7/8 inch and was therefore totally useless.

So far, so good

I've read all the negative reviews, the trick is to calibrate the device, and move slowly, with some patience it will locate the stud, even your AC line, when it says to start on another spot, do so , and calibrate again. It helps to read the instructions too, some good tips in there.

A must-buy for the do-it-yourselfer

This is a must-buy for those who like to hang things on their walls. The ability to mark both the middle and the edge of the stud is priceless. The ability to deep scan and detect electrical lines is also very useful. This is an amazing improvement over my old, simple Zircon stud finder of a few years ago. I highly recommend it.

Question : Anyone know where i could find a wheelchair ramp before Christmas that doesnt costg a fortune
My Grandma was let out of hospital today after having an operation on her foot....for Christmas dinner we were planning on having it at my house since hers in way too small to hold us. In order to get into my house however you must go up 3 quite steep steps. I tried to get a ramp from shop mobility in the town...and they were no help- does anyone else have any ideas i dont have lots of cash to fork out £50 to buy one but i cant stand the thought of my Grandma being on her own this Christmas :-(

Answer:
Do NOT just buy a piece of plywood and put it over the steps. That is dangerous and a waste of time and money. If you are going to build or buy a ramp, read this article first for useful information about what you should look for in a wheelchair ramp: http://www.newdisability.com/wheelchairramp.htm Both amazon and ebay sometimes have interesting offers on wheelchair ramps. You can try there. This website has some suggestions if you want to go that way. But research your needs first before investing money: http://www.squidoo.com/Wheelchair-ramps Alternatively, it sounds like your Granny will not need the ramp very long, so why not look into renting Call some wheelchair rental places and check out their terms for renting a ramp for a month or so: http://www.newdisability.com/wheelchairrental.htm
