Zircon has redesigned its popular stud finder, the StudSensor EDGE, to make it more comfortable to hold. And you know what? It is pretty comfortable. The body fits nicely in the palm of my hand, with the on/off switch where I place my thumb.

The tool identifies both edges of wood or metal studs with a noise and by shining a beam on the wall. It’s simple to use and runs on a 9-volt battery (not included). If you’re looking for a no-frills stud finder that gets the job done without any bells and whistles, this tool is a sweet deal for only $12 on Amazon.com.
