Old magnetic stud finders

(1/4) > >>

coolmercury:
Found these while looking for something else.  From the left, Lawrence Bros, Ullman, Dresden mfg co., Stanley and another Stanley in the original package. Do they work, well yes, if you have a lot of patience.

bonneyman:
I have one like your Stanely examples. But I thought they only worked on metal-stud walls? Unless you were lucky enough to find a nail?

coolmercury:
Oh you-all of little faith, of course you need to find a nail/screw.  Remember back in the dark ages there were no metal studs.

DeadNutz:
Those were kind of tough to use if you had a metal lath and plaster house.

slip knot:
If your wall mounting something in lath and plaster do you need to find a stud?
