Product Description

The STANLEY 77-050 is a handheld stud sensor designed to locate wood and metal studs behind drywall, plaster, and similar wall surfaces. Electricians, drywall contractors, and general construction tradespeople use this tool to identify framing members before fastening, mounting, or cutting into walls. At 0.23 pounds, the 77-050 is a lightweight, single-unit tool suited for quick scanning tasks on residential and light commercial job sites. It provides a straightforward detection method without complex calibration, making it a practical grab-and-go addition to any tool bag.

The 77-050 is well suited for residential construction and renovation work where locating studs accurately before hanging heavy fixtures, mounting electrical panels or enclosures, or running conduit and cable is essential.

Tradespeople working in finished spaces where wall penetration needs to be minimized will find this sensor useful for pre-planning fastener placement.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician or qualified contractor should confirm the absence of live wiring or plumbing before fastening into any wall cavity.
