First impression: Pulling the ProSensor 710 out of the box I was first surprised by how big the device was. It's 3 inches wide and a little over 7 inches long which is basically the equivalent of a chalk board eraser on steroids. I thought this would be an overall negative in terms of general use/handling but that isn't the case at all. In hand this stud finder just feels right

(Avoid corners with windows or doors nearby, or corners of the house, as this may cause design layout to vary.) Measure either 16 or 24" (most common), and that will be your base measurement to expect in the rest of your house. Also note that exterior walls may have different / closer stud placement and distance than interior walls. Remember: Building code changes with time or materials used or location of wall

If the joists run parallel, you cannot be certain if the wall is load-bearing or not. You'll need an engineer, architect, or Tom Silva to investigate BEFORE you remove the wall. An exception would be when an existing structure has a wall added as a room divider .

Whatever the case, it is *very* hard for me to find studs with this stud finder. I have gotten it to stick to the wall exactly twice in the installation of multiple picture frames and furniture anchors. All the other times, I've had to "feel" for the pull of the magnet--which is actually very hard to do reliably because the stud finder itself is rather heavy. Be aware that a good portion of the magnet "hits" this stud finder will produce for you will likely be pretty weak, and you might not even feel them if you aren't that sensitive to weak forces
