All I need is a simple nail finder/locator for finding the nails in the drywall. I KNOW where the studs are, but need to find screws/nails behind the taping plaster.
I remember years ago using a magnet mounted in a 'gimbal' structure that pointed to a nail. Unsuccessfully tried to make one. the one I made keeps missing the fasteners! If it 'sees' one, it is there, but even though I know there should be a nail somewhere within inches, can't find it. Usually misses screws, finds nails.
Closest walkin so far has been Home Depot Zircon whizbang for $49. TOO MUCH!! I don't want to find studs, just the nails
Next best has been Harbor Freight, Cen-Tec unit 5 in 1 for $8.99 Sounds great, I once ordered a Cen-Tech Sound Level Meter $14.99 before from them, very satisfied customer, replaced our $100+ unit. But this latest requirement just rankles me to pay 8.99 +6.99 shipping total of 15.98 for a simple little widget.
You guys ALWAYS know where to get stuff at great prices. Any help?
Anybody got one to send me, or provide a URL to get something?
