Assessed on the manufacturer's published specification and on how the format fits a working shift, by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor.
Written by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial, from the published CRAFTSMAN listing. The score above is the live Amazon customer rating captured at review time - not a WC Safety test result. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The CRAFTSMAN Stud Finder, 3/4-Inch Depth, CMHT77633 is one of our picks for the measuring tool lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Layout starts with measurement you can trust: a locking 25-foot tape is the universal jobsite unit, and a stud finder is a safety tool (note: the CMHT77633 does not include live-wire detection) as much as a convenience - drilling blind into a live cable is a preventable incident. For lines and levels at room scale, the laser level collection picks up where the tape stops.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- Works on wallpaper & fabric: depth range of ΒΎ-in through drywall and works on surfaces covered in wallpaper and fabric
- Locate stud edges: edge detection to locate stud edges of both wood and metal stud
- Durability: shock-resistant & water-resistant body for durability and long life
- Common applications include locating studs in walls
- Includes: (1)CMHT77633 Stud Sensor
See every measuring and layout tool, throw lines with a laser level, and browse all jobsite equipment.
What to check before you buy
Selection starts with the published rating, not the marketing headline. Match the working load, wattage or rating to the manufacturerβs published number, confirm the standard and edition printed on the unit, and treat any listing that hides its rating as a reason to keep shopping.
- Calibration: press against the wall on a known-clear section before scanning. Depth limit: the CMHT77633 reads to 3/4 in β thicker drywall or plaster defeats it. Live-wire detection: this model does not include AC detection β trace circuits separately before cutting.
- Small differences between tapes compound across a layout. Marking out with the same tape throughout avoids chasing errors that are not there.
