User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	I don't know the maximum thickness it can gauge, but it is totally Awesome for finding the nails in standard sheet rock thickness. An electrician used it on my walls to find the stud, and it was so effective, that I purchased a set for me. No more random knocking on the walls to find the studs
Question:	Does this case fit the “New” T
Answer:	I have 3/4 inch drywall and it finds the studs really easily, but I don't have carpeting. Guess you should give it a try, can't hurt. If it finds the tacking on the carpeted side walls through your carpet thickness, it might find the joists too! Best answer I can give you.
Question:	Will this fit the M150 series
Answer:	Nothing, I bought it and it was just one magnet. I contacted seller and they said they have only ever sold one at a time.
Question:	What are the inside dimensions
Answer:	Wow, they sure don’t make it very clear. I just one unit, and took about eight weeks to get it. Does work great though.

Avoid DIY drilling disasters & take your renovation projects to the next level!

Walabot DIY is a cutting-edge wall scanner that takes stud finder technology to the next level. Capable of "seeing" up to four inches into walls, it uses radio frequency technology to provide users with the location of studs, plumbing pipes, electric wires, and other objects hiding inside walls.

The Walabot Difference

See it, don’t hear it! Other stud finders beep to alert you that an object has been found behind your walls without showing you whether the object is a stud to drill into or a pipe or wire to avoid? Now you can be safe with the Walabot DIY. Only Walabot uses cutting-edge radar technology to allow your smartphone to show you actually what is behind your walls.

Walabot DIY Wall Scanner

Walabot DIY is paired with an Android phone (see specifications for details) to produce a visual image of what is inside drywall and lath & plaster up to 4 inches (10 cm) deep. Your Walabot detects metal studs, wood studs, wires, pipes and can even find pests by showing movement behind walls. Walabot can be used by contractors, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and those in need of advanced wall imaging capabilities. The advanced technology is also perfect for ambitious DIYers and those who want real-time visual images of what is behind a wall. It can show users what is in their wall in multiple modes (Image mode and Expert mode).

Image Mode: A visual image of metal and wooden studs, pipes, and wires.

To use image mode, hold the Walabot against the wall, calibrate and scan the wall. Walabot’s Radio Frequency technology will analyze the objects and using artificial intelligence, translate the results into images which are identified as wooden studs, metal studs, pipes, and wires.

Expert Mode: See the raw radar signals from the Walabot sensor

To use expert mode, hold the Walabot against the wall, calibrate and move over the objects seen in Image mode. Expert mode gives a direct view into the unfiltered Radio Frequency images. This image can show location in more detail, curves in pipes and wires, the intersection between two objects, pest movement in real time and can be used to confirm objects found in Image mode. You can focus the expert mode by managing the intensity bar to better see the objects.

Which phones work with Walabot?

COMPATIBLE: Android phones with O.S. 6.0 and above with on-the-go (OTG).

NOT COMPATIBLE: iPhones or tablets.

Once connected to your phone via the included cable, place Walabot DIY against the wall, calibrate and then start scanning to detect pipes, wires and studs. Check the app store for free updates and upcoming features.

Stud Scan Detection

Deep Scan Mode scans through 2 layers of drywall up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) deep. DeepScan Mode is a higher sensitivity scanning mode that should be used when there are extra layers of wallboard or paneling. To minimize false positives and/or finding other objects further behind the wall that may not be a stud, always start your scan in StudScan Mode first.

Metal Scan Detection

Tavool wall canner will locate metal studs in StudScan, DeepScan, and Metal Scan Modes. Since Tavool stud finders are looking for a change in density behind drywall, not a particular material, in StudScan and DeepScan Modes the detector will react to metal studs the same as it would for wooden studs.

After you detect the center of a object, Please Use Metal Scan to determine if the previous reading in Stud scan was a wood stud, metal stud, or pipe.

Step 2: Scan the wall

Hold down the button, then move the stud finder along the wall slowly, if shake or lift the scanner accidently, the device needs to be re-calibrate.

The narrow on the screen togather with the beep signal alter, guides you to find the location of the stud.

It sticks to the wall leaving your hands free--no batteries, no calibration, no lights, no hassle. It works on wood or metal studs and uses multiple industrial strength magnets to “Field Vector” the stud. This is the last stud finder you will ever buy. Simply slide the flat surface of the magnetic stud finder slowly across a wall in a circular or "S" motion until you feel a strong pull to a nail head or screw. Once you have the magnetic stud finder directly above a nail head or screw, let it go and it sticks to the wall.

User questions & answers

Question:	this sounds good for accurately finding the stud.but does it find the edge of the stud....can someone tell me pls
Answer:	No. You're going to have to guesstimate. It only finds the fasteners used to hang the stud. What I do is find multiple fasteners with the magnet and draw a line. Whenever I hang something I put the screw on that line. Never failed me yet.
Question:	Does this come packaged as 2 individual finders, or 1 packaged containing both
Answer:	One Amazon package. Two individual packages inside the Amazon package. Each individual package has one magnet.
Question:	Have you had any problems with these accidentally finding wires or conduits in the walls
Answer:	Wires, no. Metal conduit, yes. However I use it in commercial spaces and it's obvious if it finds conduit. There's power or another receptacle type nearby
Question:	Will they work on metal stud with 5/8 level 5 sheetrock
Answer:	Yes they will. I use it for that purpose everyday

User questions & answers

Question:	How useful is it
Answer:	hi, my dad wrote a comment on this last time and he isnt here right now, but he talked to me about it and he ended up throwing it away- thats how bad it was. it didnt work for him at all. hope this helps.
Question:	Does this device work AFTER it has been properly calibrated as per youtube video
Answer:	Nope. I've tried everything. I've even exchanged it for a new one. I have an old Stanley 77-110 basic model stud finder which still works and finds studs that the fay max can't locate. I thought I'd upgrade and had my son buy me the Fat Max for my birthday, big mistake. Google it and see all the other disappointed owners, this tool should be recalled.
