- thinkfaster 2y agoHave you tried this product? What do you think of it?
- xyzzy_plugh 2y agoI have, it works ok, but I still use a regular stud finder most of the time, unless something bizarre is going on. It has been useful to find pipes and electrical with some confidence, when their location is called for.

- yorick 2y agoIt uses the 60ghz radar from https://vayyar.com/ https://vayyar.com/ . I'm not sure how or if it works, I haven't tried it myself. They also sell dev kits: https://walabot.com/products/walabot-developer-pack-new https://walabot.com/products/walabot-developer-pack-new
