Problems with Stanley Stud Finder
I'm having trouble with my Stanley Stud Finder (Intellilasor 77-260). New battery, but when I put it on the wall and push the button instead of beeping and then waiting to find a stud, it shows the "edge" display continually - where I KNOW there is no stud. Anyone know of a way to get it to work correctly? Already put 3 holes in the drywall without hitting a stud....

Thanks, X - yes its drywall. Pretty sure I calibrated it according to the manual. The battery is fresh out of the pack but I suppose it may be bad - not sure how a low battery effects the operation. Using it in the garage so I'm wondering if the insulation is kraft-faced - but again, not sure how that may effect things. Ended up using the ole reliable knuckle technique.
