My latest project is trying to building a shelf in kitchen area. When I used StudFinder from Zircon to detect the hot wire, I found there is alot of HotWire Warning lighting coming on. I have little knowledge to the eletricity. But I don't believe there is so much wires behind the wall. I checked the Zircon, but I found the customer support is not that good.
I wonder what is your suggestion or experience on using StudFinder to find the hot wires?
Thanks. |

I would not suggest drilling where your warning lights come on... If you fear that the detector is inaccurate, I would take it back to the place of purchase for exchange or to verify whether it is faulty. While you are there, you may want to ask for a quick tutorial on its use. I would suggest stepping away from the wall with the drill until you have learned how to distinguish if there are hot wires or not. I would hate for you to get hurt or for you to burn your house down.  |
