DIY 2 - Advanced Wall Scanner/Stud Finder - for Android & iOS Smartphones

Works great just like advertised, found things in walls that we didn't know was there

This Walabot is the bomb! I have used so many different kinds of stud finders over the years with marginal success. My toolbox is full of them! With previous stud finders I would have to drill several small holes in the vicinity of an indication and finally find (sometimes not find) the stud. I figured That if the Walabot worked it would be well worth the money. I tested it at home on a piece of drywall and studs I put together in the garage. It worked great. I then tested it in my house (recently built) where I know where studs are. It worked perfectly. Now the real test. I went to hang a TV at my daughters house that is over a hundred years old and has been renovated numerous times so Lord knows where studs are. I calibrated my Walabot and immediately it started showing studs and wires. We marked them, drilled small holes at the marks and low and behold, we hit studs first try! Amazing! This Walabot is worth every penny!

**Overview:** The Walabot Advanced Wall Scanner presents itself as a high-tech solution for finding studs and pipes behind walls, but my experience has shown it to be more of a disappointment than a valuable tool. **Performance:** - **Inconsistent Functionality:** The device works sporadically. While it occasionally detects studs, it fails to provide reliable results, making it frustrating to use. For a tool marketed as advanced, the performance does not meet expectations. **Customer Service:** - **Poor Support:** Attempts to reach customer service for troubleshooting have led to circular responses. It seems almost impossible to get actual help, which adds to the frustration of dealing with a faulty product. **Return Policy:** - **Unreasonable Conditions:** The return process is convoluted. They require the original packaging, and even then, a restocking fee is charged. This policy feels overly restrictive, especially for a product that doesn't work as advertised. **Value for Money:** - **Overpriced:** At approximately $200, the Walabot is not worth the investment. It functions more like a basic stud finder than the advanced scanner it claims to be. You'd likely get better performance with a traditional stud finder that costs significantly less—perhaps three of them from a local hardware store like Home Depot. **Conclusion:** Overall, I would not recommend the Walabot Advanced Wall Scanner. If you're looking for reliability and customer support, consider alternatives that provide better value and a more straightforward return

Did a lot of research and while this tool is not completely foolproof, it helped a ton. There's no substitute for just looking in the walls, so a borescope is recommended with this, just to be absolutely certain. It didn't identify a horizontal fire brace properly, but I was able to map out other items in the wall, including something it swore was a metal beam. Turns out it was a bathroom fan vent, but it DID identify it. Using expert mode is tough, I like the tool's ability to detect what it is, and in expert mode, it's too hard to tell what kind of object or the density. Either way, welcome addition and tossing all of my other stupid stud finders.

Product has demonstrated great ability to locate studs accurately behind drywall. It also displays presence of wires and piping that has water in it.

it did not show everything

I've been looking at the Walabot for a long time and was disappointed that it didn't work with Apple phones. Then, along came the Walabot DIY 2 and that changed. So I went to Amazon's site only to find it "currently unavailable". Another disappointment. But I went ahead and ordered it with a 2-3 month delivery window. Much to my (pleasant) surprise, it shipped in 4 days and was in my hands within 2 weeks. Happy, happy, happy. It works *exactly* as it shows in all the videos. So much more accurate for not just studs, but for electrical and plumbing lines in the wall. I used it to hang an 8' barn door rail that needed a lot of support for the weight of the door and the pre-drilled holes just didn't line up. I *had* to hit the studs dead center so I would get maximum support. Walabot DIY 2 gave me the accurate picture of where the studs actually were and I was able to place alternate mounting holes on the rail that hit the studs just right. If I could do chin-ups, I could use this rail for them. Couldn't have done it without my Walabot DIY 2.

Only thing I don’t like about this item is the whole hookup thing other than that it’s great works very well

Compre esta aparato para buscar tubos en las paredes de mi casa, pero resulta que solo funciona con paredes de tablaroca, que no son nada comunes en Mexico. Trate de devolverlo y resulta que no es elegible para devolucion. Deberia que tener un aviso clara y grande que solo es para paredes de tablaroca en el titulo. Es un fraude, un producto decepcionante.

Easy to setup on your phone. Works great 👍, finding the studs in the wall.

El producto no funciona según como lo venden, aparecen tuberías donde no existen, y no marca ninguna donde debería haber. Por más tutoriales que vi, nunca dio los resultados correctos. Al parecer le cuesta trabajar sobre concreto y me confunde Madera con PVC. Malgasté mi dinero
