warning Stanley

Error Code The Stud Sensor is not finding studs

Unable to detect wood or metal studs, likely due to wall material, improper use, or settings issue.

? What Causes This

Wall materials incompatible with device detection (e.g., concrete, metallic surfaces). Misalignment during operation. Usage on walls thicker than specified dimensions.

How to Fix It

Ensure the wall is of drywall or another suitable building material. Position the stud sensor correctly, press and hold the button as you move it slowly against the wall. Make sure the walls are not too thick—STHT77587 can be used on <0.75" drywall, STHT77588 on <1.5".
