Hi,
I was watching ITV's all night news last night and an advert came on for one of those laser levels. It was a US ad but selling the product over here and, gasp, you got a free stud finder with it.
Now, isn't a stud finder of no use over here in the UK? In fact, what exactly is it? I mean, in old UK houses you drill into the wall and on new houses you usually have a gap behind plasterboard which involves all sorts of tricks if you wish to hang something heavy.
I can understand a device to spot electrical cables, pipes, etc but, um, what is a stud finder and is it any use in the UK?
Thanks,
John.
