Hi, I’m curious how much I should spend on a stud finder. I see them on sale online for anywhere between $1000 and $14. There’s also an iPhone app, which I might try for fun. I don’t do a lot ofDIY but I’m in my 30s and buying more nice furniture and things and it would be nice to hang stuff properly. But I don’t want to shell out for a fancy device if a simple $20 will do the trick.

The $20 ones are usually fine for finding studs.

The Franklin M210 is the king of traditional-style stud finders, and it typically runs 60-80 dollars CAD.
