Zircon 63958 Multi-function Stud Finder 1.5in Scan Depth

Product Description

The ZIRCON 63958 is a multi-function stud finder designed for locating wood and metal studs behind walls, ceilings, and floors. It operates in three modes and features an easy-to-read screen that makes readings fast to interpret on the job. The tool scans to a depth of 1.5 inches, covering standard stud and framing layouts found in residential and light commercial construction. A built-in wire warning detection function alerts the user to the presence of live AC wiring behind the surface, reducing the risk of accidental contact during fastener placement. Power comes from a single 9-volt battery.

This stud finder is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need to locate framing members before drilling, cutting, or mounting equipment. It is particularly useful when running conduit, pipe hangers, duct support brackets, or cable runs through finished walls. The three scanning modes allow the user to switch between detection types depending on surface material and wall construction.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by electricians, HVAC techs, plumbers, and other trades before drilling or cutting into walls. Hold the device flat against the surface and move it slowly in one direction to allow the sensor to calibrate and detect accurately. Always confirm the wire warning indicator is clear before drilling or driving fasteners. Follow applicable local building codes and safety procedures when working near electrical wiring.
