Features & Capabilities

Wire & Stud Finder is a powerful Chrome extension designed to detect hidden metal objects, studs, live AC wires, pipes, and electrical circuits with high accuracy. Utilizing your phone’s magnetic sensor, this app alerts you via sound and vibration when it locates metal or live wires up to depths of 60mm for ferrous metals and 40mm for live wires, helping you avoid accidental drilling into dangerous or sensitive components during home improvement or decoration projects.

Ideal for fixing items such as mirrors, TVs, shelves, and cabinets, this extension provides reliable results with auto calibration and intuitive readings across three axes (X, Y, Z). It ensures safe detection in walls, floors, ceilings, and even underground or concrete surfaces. Wire & Stud Finder is an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals aiming to detect hidden devices, network cables, and electrical wiring safely and precisely.
