Wowzer trousers that's bad. There's even an outlet just to the left, what's that all about??
Buuut
A stud finder works by sticking to the drywall screws just under the wall paint. A stud finder wouldn't pick this up unless the hangers screws the drywall to that piece for no reason.
They're more like depth detectors now. They dont work on magnetism, they work by detecting the ultrasonic echoes of what's behind the wall.
Both kinds exist.
It is helpful to have both.
In other words they're good at knocking on the wall.
Nah, modern stud finders can tell the difference between "drywall with stud behind it" and "drywall without stud behind it" with some rf whatever the hell it does
Gnomes. Gnomes live inside and use magic to tell you where the stud is. That's show it works.
THANK you. Finally, someone tells us what's really happening in there.
Those gnomes are pretty shit at magic then. I've yet to encounter a stud finder that works more than 40% of the time which is just enough to keep you using it but not quite enough to be useful.
Skill issue tbh
Oh yeah I totally forgot about the fancy ones. Never loved using them much but I'm sure that's what the kids call "skill issue." I'll lay my life on the line defending the honor of my Stud Buddy though
Except some places use glue and 3 screws in the stud. Top bottom and middle. Then they’ll even push it and not put one in the middle, good luck finding a stud with a magnet.
I use a stud finder and a rare earth magnet with a small light metal chain that (if the stud is plumb) perfectly shows where the stud is.
Going by the writing on the wall, it's for a 3-way dimmer switch. It also is likely the picture was taken during its install and not from someone trying to find a stud
On top of everything else, the new outlet isn't even close to even with the old one.
