Zircon 63960 Multi-function Stud Finder 1.5 in Deep Scan

Product Description

The ZIRCON 63960 is a multi-function stud finder designed for locating wood and metal studs behind finished walls, ceilings, and floors. Operating in four selectable scan modes, it combines stud detection with live AC wire warning and AC scan capability in a single handheld unit. The ultra-bright screen provides clear, high-visibility readouts in low-light conditions. With a scan depth of 1.5 inches, it reaches through standard drywall to identify framing members and hidden electrical conductors before fastening or cutting. Powered by a single 9V battery, the tool is suited for electricians, carpenters, drywall installers, and general contractors who need reliable subsurface detection on the job.

The 63960 is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction and remodeling work. It is commonly used when mounting heavy fixtures, running new circuits, installing blocking, or locating framing prior to wall penetrations. The wire warning detection and AC scan modes make it especially useful for electrical rough-in verification and pre-drill safety checks in walls that may conceal energized conductors. It is a hand-carried, single-operator tool suited to both new construction framing layouts and retrofit service calls.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by electricians, carpenters, and general contractors for surface scanning prior to fastening or cutting. Before drilling or cutting into any wall surface, confirm AC scan results and treat any wire warning indication as a live-circuit hazard until verified otherwise. Keep the tool flat against the wall surface and move it slowly for accurate detection. Follow all applicable OSHA and local safety requirements when working near energized systems.
