WALABOT DIY 2 - Advanced Stud Finder and Wall Scanner for Android & iOS Smartphones

This thing works GREAT!!! Thee best tool purchase I have made in 2 years. It is easy to sync to your phone. It is easy to calibrate. Definitely better than a stud finder.

This item is awesome, it just takes all the pressure away when I have to work on hanging something in the house. It shows all the things behind the wall that I need to see so I can drill into a stud and hang things. I always dread it when I had to hang a picture or put up a light. I would even put it off for a while but now I’m looking at what I can buy next to hang on the wall because this thing makes it so easy and exceeds my expectations. I’m really so appreciative of how well this works and how easy it makes my home projects.

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 recently upgraded to the WALBOT DIY2 for my iPhone, and it has been a game-changer for my home improvement projects. Compared to other stud finders I've used in the past, the WALBOT DIY2 feels far more accurate and reliable. The visual interface on my phone is intuitive, and it provides a clear, detailed view of what's behind the walls, which is incredibly reassuring when I'm drilling or installing new fixtures. The ability to see live data on my phone screen gives me confidence that I'm pinpointing studs with precision, avoiding any unnecessary holes or mistakes.The WALBOT DIY2's performance is top-notch, and it integrates seamlessly with my iPhone. I appreciate how easy it is to set up and use right out of the box. The build quality is also impressive, making it a solid and dependable tool in my DIY arsenal. If you're looking for a stud finder that combines cutting-edge technology with ease of use, the WALBOT DIY2 is definitely worth the investment!

Well first, I will say that I do like the Walabot DIY 2 and I have found it to work really well for me. And in my past experiences with anything as expensive as this, I've always found it best to get name brand accessories for it (accessories made by the same company). And so, when I investigated doing that with this device I found that the case for it that's made by Walabot and has their logo on it costs $59.95. Can y'all believe that!? I even started to go through with the purchasing process so I could get the total with shipping. The shipping wound up being $13.99 for me, so the total was going to be $73.94, for just a little zip case big enough to fit a Walabot in!!Hold on though. There's another accessory called the "Walattach - MagSafe Compatible Connector Rings." And all you really get is a round ring magnet and a round ring magnet receptor with sticky backs on them, for... $34.95! And this is so you can put one on the back of your phone or phone case, and put the other on the Walabot so that they can be magnetically connected when you are using them. AND, they even say in the details that, if you already have a case or phone with a magnet on it, that you will only need the magnet receptor. Basically telling you it's going to cost $34.95 just to get one.. little.. flimsy.. magnet.. receptor.. from them...On the bright side though, if you can afford one of these I've found it to work pretty good. I've always had a really hard time finding where studs are in the wall, even while using those stud finders that you slide along the wall that just show a red light when they pass over an obstruction. Well, with this thing I don't just easily find the studs. I can also easily find the CENTER of the studs too. Which eliminates the worry of hitting the edge of a stud instead, which could cause possible problems down the line.So I am plenty happy with my Walabot DIY 2. I just think it should come with a case at the price that it is... And I can't justify paying over $70 just for a case that they claim will be more protective than any other case. Also, just the fact that they are charging so much for a case AND the Walattach things, is proof to me that they are over charging everyone for , well, everything most probably. And that's not cool at all. I almost feel like I should take more than one star off because of that too... But I DID receive what I expected to get and so far, it HAS performed like I expected it to. So I decided to give it a score of 4... out of, 5.

This thing is pretty cool. I won’t say it’s perfect because it’s not, and the calibration every single time is a little annoying but I suppose it’s a small price to pay for getting it right the first time and not busting multiple holes in the Sheetrock. But like I said, it’s not 100%. There are places in my house I know there’s a stud that won’t show up on the screen. Suppose it could be user error but who knows. Overall pretty happy with the product and would recommend if you need to find studs on a regular basis.
