Overview
The CRAFTSMAN CMHT77633 is an edge-detecting stud finder with a 3/4 inch detection depth, built with a shock-resistant and water-resistant body and rated to work through wallpaper and fabric wall coverings.
CRAFTSMAN positions this as part of a small family of leveling and measuring tools, and the stud finder itself keeps to the basics: edge detection for wood and metal studs, plus a housing built to survive drops and moisture on a job site. Where a center-finding model marks the middle of a stud, this one is built to mark the edges instead.
- Edge detection for wood and metal
- Works through wallpaper and fabric
- Shock and water resistant body
- 3/4 inch detection depth
Who it's for
DIYers and light-duty contractors working on drywall that may be covered in wallpaper or fabric, who want a rugged, straightforward edge-finding tool. Less suited to anyone who specifically wants a center reading or wire detection, neither of which this model lists.
Pros and cons
- Reads through wallpaper and fabric coverings
- Detects both wood and metal stud edges
- Shock-resistant and water-resistant housing
- Finds stud edges only, not a center point
- No live wire detection listed
- 3/4 inch depth limit through drywall
Performance notes
The CMHT77633 uses edge detection, sweeping the sensor across the wall until it flags the point where a stud begins and ends, for both wood and metal studs at a depth of up to 3/4 inch through drywall. Its listing specifically calls out wallpaper and fabric-covered walls as surfaces it can still read, which is not true of every sensor in this category. The shock-resistant and water-resistant housing is built for the wear of being carried in a tool bag rather than for finesse features.
