Franklin Sensors ProSensor M150 Stud Finder
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The ProSensor M150 is Franklin Sensors' 9-sensor stud finder. Instead of beeping at one edge, it lights a row of LEDs across the full width of the stud, and it warns you about live AC wires. It is one of Amazon's top sellers in Stud Finders and Scanners.
Most wall projects in a house with kids start here. The TV for game night, floating shelves for finished LEGO builds, a gear rack or bike hooks in the garage.
The Numbers That Matter
9 sensors, 15 LEDs. Multiple sensors read the wall at once, so the display shows where the stud starts, where it ends, and where two studs sit side by side. The center LED turns green when you are on the middle.
Up to 1.5 in. deep. That covers standard drywall over wood or metal studs. Older plaster walls can be thicker, which is where a deeper model earns its keep.
No calibration. Put it on the wall and scan. It does not need to start off a stud to read correctly.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 9 sensors / 15 LEDs | Full stud width, not one edge |
| Up to 1.5 in. depth | Drywall yes, thick plaster maybe |
| AC wire warning | A check before the drill goes in |
| Two AAA alkalines | Keep spares in the drawer |
Who It Is For
The dad mounting a TV, a shelf or a wall rack who wants to hit wood the first time. Once the stud is marked, the DEWALT DCK240C2 drill and impact driver kit and the DEWALT FlexTorq bit set handle the drilling and driving. For cleaning up the cables behind a newly mounted TV or desk, VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP ties keep it tidy.

The Short Version
The M150 answers the first question of every wall project: where is the stud, and how wide is it. Seeing the full stud on the LED bar takes the guessing out of hanging a TV, a LEGO display shelf or a wall rack. Pick up AAA alkalines with it, since rechargeables will not work.
