Tool Review: Shinwa 78610 Pin-Probe Mechanical Stud Finder - Make

Overall, I like the Shinwa 78610. Even though I have a decent capacitative stud finder, I often seem to end up using a 1/16" drill to probe for studs, anyway. And if I'm looking for joists in the ceiling instead of studs in the wall, mechanical probing is pretty much my only option, because inevitably the ceilings in my homes seem to have popcorn texture which prevents the use of any kind of instrument you have to slide across the surface. So for that use alone, I'm glad I've got the Shinwa in my toolbox and think it's worth the $15.
