Stud finders are for finding studs, not pipes and wiring.

  i've literally never seen a stud finder that doesn't also detect wiring and pipes

    There’s too much variation in size of wires and pipes for it to work well. Wires may also be tucked back farther on the stud.

    Wow, I've seen stud finders unable to find studs. You must live in an alternate dimension than the one I do.

  My house's previous homeowner found a drainpipe with his stud finder. He successfully marked it and put three screws in it. The knock test shouldn't be skipped.
