Smooth Moves With a Smart Tool

If you were intrigued by the do-it-yourself, slatted-wall project from The Style Dept. in the latest issue of Wish, but weren’t sure how to get the right placement of the vertical boards into a stud, you may find this new device from Stanley helpful. The tool's "OnePass" stud sensor detection technology will quickly identify the 2 x 4 support boards behind your wall so you know where you can safely nail. It's the width of a standard 2 x 4, and accurately scans for the centre of the stud. It can read through drywall, concrete and latticework and also scans for electrical wires so you can avoid drilling or hammering into them. And, you guessed it, OnePass technology can do all that in one swift swipe.
