Walabot DIY 2 – Visual Stud Finder & Wall Scanner for Drywall. Detects Wood & Metal Studs, Plastic & Metal Pipes, Live & Non-Live Wires

Works as shown. This is an excellent tool for pros and home handyman. Especially for hanging anything heavy, or drilling into something where you can’t tell what’s behind.

What an excellent and usefull Home DIY Tool !! I have tried various "typical" Stud-Finder tools in the past and always had mediocre experiences with them being mostly inaccurate. I remeber when this device 1st came out and it caught my interest, but I did not have a need for it at the time. Recently My wife wanted me to hang some floating shelves near the fireplace. I KNEW I had to get into the Studs directly for a good, sturdy floating shelf that won't SAG over time. This tool allowed me to FLAWLESSLY mount all my shelves without a single missed Stud. So cool !! As a tech guy I understand why it requires calibration, and since it has an App I feel that the user experience can be greatly enhanced !. Each time you take it to the wall you need to do a simple calibration so it learns the surface. It's a big aggrevating when on a ladder and having to use the phone as a view screen, to have to re-calibrate each time it goes back to the same wall. It would be amazing if the App could be updated with a Button to tell the tihng that you are still on the same wall and no need to re-cal. Would be great if you could save wall cal data to like 4 zones, so when doing a full room, you can do initial cal on each wall, then save as wall-1, wall-2, wall-3 wall-4 that way when making repeaded measurements & double checking it would save tremendous amount of time. I fealt pretty dorky in front of my wife, trying to show off my new cool tool when she laughed at me each time I had to re-cal the device. All in all I am glad to have this in my tool kit and I'm sure will get lots more use over the years. Cool product.

I had a short wall that contained a ton of metal studs, electrical wiring and plumbing. I had to hang a bracket for a pedestal sink and a regular stud finder just didn't seem to do the trick because there was so much in the wall. I bought the Walabot to find exactly what was behind the drywall. I also need to mention that the wall was covered with PVC wainscoting which made it even more challenging. I will admit that when I used the Walabot on the side of the wall with wainscoting, its accuracy was suspect. I could tell where the studs were, but the readings weren't consistent and the location of the electrical and plumbing was really spotty. So I went around to the back of the short wall where there was only drywall and the Walabot performed very well. I was able to find the studs and not touch the electrical or the plumbing. Would I recommend the Walabot...? Emphatically, Yes. On a pure drywall surface, I have found it works extremely well. Any additional interference tends to cause its scanning to be less than perfect, but that's fine. I get that it needs to be fine tuned to work at certain tolerances to accurately show what's behind the wall. Plus my situation was probably in that 10% where the Walabot wouldn't work perfectly. But I definitely recommend it!

Pleasantly surprised at how well it works. I had no trouble with the calibration process although since you have to use both your phone and the unit itself it can be a bit unwieldily. So far it has clearly shown studs and in most cases wiring behind 5/8 sheetrock. I haven’t really had a need to identify water lines so I can’t comment on them. I also haven’t used the “pro” mode. Overall my impression is positive despite it being a bit on the pricey side compared to more conventional stud finders.

I wanted this to work out, I really did. The ideal is fantastic, being able to see what's actually behind the wall with some intelligence is what I wanted. But after I clicked the button I read a few other reviews, and the disappointment quickly set in. Things you need to know. 1) This is extremely overpriced for the value that it delivers. 2) It's almost impossible to use. Why they used WIFI for the connection is beyond me. Maybe, if you're in a house that has no other wifi it might hold a connection. I spent 30 minutes, THIRTY MINUTES, trying to keep it connected to get through the calibration. Even when I did that, the results were underwhelming. This should have been either a) Bluetooth, or b) a tethered connection for reliability saving on development costs too. It should also be magnetic so your phone sticks to it or it to your phone for one handed operation. As it is now, you need both hands, or maybe you can try to hold the things together while you mark the wall but that's just not easy to do. 3) It's not reliable. It saw stuff that didn't exist. I'm fortunate to have an unfinished wall that I can access on the other side. I used that for testing, and just got even madder. No way I'm putting up with the usability issues for something that isn't even accurate. I ordered the other higher-end stud finder that's about $50 and couldn't be happier. It's being returned TODAY.

I've only had the opportunity to use it a few times but it has successfully identified wood studs, metal stubs and electrical conduit. Very pleased so far with the results and the quality of the build.

I was not impressed with the Walabot DIY-2. I used it to scan for studs and wires as I put up brackets for curtain rods. In several cases I was told I would be drilling into studs but there was just drywall when I drilled. So I am not sure I can trust this device. I also found it inconvenient when it disconnected after I set it down for a few minutes. The This required me to reconnect (which also takes a long time) and recalibrate (more time). The internal battery does not hold much charge. I got into a low power warning after a couple of hours of intermittent use. The display of the wall contents on my phone is cool but the app seems to consume a lot of phone battery power

Ik heb 2 manden geleden besteld. En niks binnen gekregen. En ik heb 2 keer melding gemaakt en krijg ik geen bericht. Zonde van het geld

Works well, on the mark everything. Beautiful little tool.

Seems to work fine with wifi. Also works just fine without wifi as it produces its own internal wifi to connect to the cellphone. It's very cool to see pipes and wires in the wall as well as studs of course.

Was a little sceptical about this being able to do other substrates….my personal experience with this device leads me to believe that it is more suited to plasterboard walling and some wood panelling. I needed this to work for me on plasterboard and I got some convincing results. The setup/calibrating was easy and the downloadable App connected without fuss .
