can it scan thruh roofing tiles and plywood at the same time to find the stud under them

Haven't tried that, but I doubt it. It isn't very good with skim plaster, and that is certainly thinner and possibly less dense than what you are asking it to see through.

Yes, I have completed a considerable amount of work in my garage and this is a great studfinder.

No, I think it might detect electric wires, hopefully but this model is just for studds, I could not make anything out of this so I drilled into concrete, make sure you set deep scan and hopefully it will find electricity but I don't know, I won't bet on it -

the tile and cement behind it would be too dense to find a stud. so it would read all lights or none. (or just be crazy) I dont have any tile to go check.

I have scanned thru 1/4" oak veneer paneling over sheet rock and located wooden studs. Franklin states that the max detection depth, under real world conditions is 1.1", and 1.5" under ideal conditions.

Yes it will find jewelry but the detector will have a hard time differentiating the jewelry with the rest of the metal in your house. Such as nails, screws, pipes etc. Good luck

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

Yes, but if you have a tongue & grove plywood floor the squeegees could be coming from the t&g; joint which will require you to go under the floor and find the joint and shore it up with a 2x4.

I don't know, didn't tried it for studs.But note, this tool isn't very powerful.

I'm pretty sure that older lath-and-plaster starts with a steel mesh that covers the entire wall, on top of which the plaster is [skillfully] applied. The mesh is itself nailed to the studs, but I doubt that the gadget can distinguish between steel nails and steel mesh. OTOH it's unlikely that any studfinder will work in that situation.

It will find the nails in the paneling used to attach it to the studs. This in turn tells you where the studs are.

Item has not been used for that purpose but, my daughter who is a plumber says that it will certainly find a stud behind tile!! I hope this is helpful!!!

No, in my experience it won't. It's possible the metal detection feature may pick up nail heads, but I doubt it. You might look into Bosch products. I've had better luck with their stud finder.

I have only used it to detect wooden studs behind gypsum board. I suggest you check it out at the manufacture's web site. Copy/paste this address in your browser's address bar: http://www.franklinsensors.com/products/prosensor_710.php

This is the exact tool you need to accurately find studs behind plaster and lath. That's why I got one and it worked beautifully. It also finds pipes and electric lines deeper in the wall. The Zircon M40 is the best, most sensitive stud finder I have ever used.

Possibly, if the fittings match between the antenna and the scanner and you don't mount the antenna in a concrete building.

It detects ferrous metal, not wood. If the stud has a screw or other metal, which it should have attaching the tile backer board to the stud, it will locate the screw or nail. I'm also very impressed with this product.
