WALABOT DIY 2 - Advanced Wall Scanner/Stud Finder - for Android & iOS Smartphones

Works well best suited for scanning through drywall.

Only thing I don’t like about this item is the whole hookup thing other than that it’s great works very well

IT DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISE WORSE TOOL I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. WANTED IT FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND IT IS BAD. I DOES NOT DETECT AS ADVERTISE IT WORKS VERY SELDOME AND IT DISCONNECTS EVERY 2 MINUTES IT SAYS TO RECONNECT AND TO RE CALIBRATE WAS THE BIGEST WASTE OF TIME AND I REALLY DO MEAN IT I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS BUT I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE OUT THERE SO THAT PROFESSIONALS DONT WASTE THEIR TIME AND MONEY .

Did a lot of research and while this tool is not completely foolproof, it helped a ton. There's no substitute for just looking in the walls, so a borescope is recommended with this, just to be absolutely certain. It didn't identify a horizontal fire brace properly, but I was able to map out other items in the wall, including something it swore was a metal beam. Turns out it was a bathroom fan vent, but it DID identify it. Using expert mode is tough, I like the tool's ability to detect what it is, and in expert mode, it's too hard to tell what kind of object or the density. Either way, welcome addition and tossing all of my other stupid stud finders.

This Walabot is the bomb! I have used so many different kinds of stud finders over the years with marginal success. My toolbox is full of them! With previous stud finders I would have to drill several small holes in the vicinity of an indication and finally find (sometimes not find) the stud. I figured That if the Walabot worked it would be well worth the money. I tested it at home on a piece of drywall and studs I put together in the garage. It worked great. I then tested it in my house (recently built) where I know where studs are. It worked perfectly. Now the real test. I went to hang a TV at my daughters house that is over a hundred years old and has been renovated numerous times so Lord knows where studs are. I calibrated my Walabot and immediately it started showing studs and wires. We marked them, drilled small holes at the marks and low and behold, we hit studs first try! Amazing! This Walabot is worth every penny!

When I saw that the new DIY 2 had Wifi and didn't have to be physically plugged into my phone (like my DIY PLUS has to be), I was immediately excited to get it. Then, I saw the almost $200 price tag attached to it, (and it really caught me off guard because my DIY PLUS was only $35), but I finally talked myself into it, because as far as I was concerned, the only shortcoming the DIY PLUS had was its inability to go wireless. However, it turns out that the DIY 2 does about a third of what my DIY PLUS does. And had I actually read all the fine print, I probably would've known that before purchasing it. It will scan drywall... and that's it. But for the past few years, I've been using my DIY PLUS to scan through drywall, wood, lathe & plaster, and even concrete. And time and time again, those last two were more invaluable than the first, by far. And I got that kind of performance out of a device which cost me $35. And now I have a device which scans one of those things, at five times the price simply because it's wireless. All in all, I very much regret this purchase. But... it works.

See before you pound or screw. See through the wallboards. Uses wi-fi and works great using your smartphone.

I love my WALABOT DIY 2. It's the best stud finder I have ever used. You get it right the first time every time.

El producto no funciona según como lo venden, aparecen tuberías donde no existen, y no marca ninguna donde debería haber. Por más tutoriales que vi, nunca dio los resultados correctos. Al parecer le cuesta trabajar sobre concreto y me confunde Madera con PVC. Malgasté mi dinero

Easy to setup on your phone. Works great 👍, finding the studs in the wall.
