    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

      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.

        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.
