CAMPBELL, Calif., January 21, 2009 — New for 2009, Zircon introduces the StudSensor™ EDGE, a new stud finder that finds wood or metal studs up to 3/4 inch deep behind drywall. A complete redesign of Zircon’s most popular tool, the EDGE is easier and more comfortable to use than ever before.
The design is modeled specifically to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. Its new patent-pending pinch grip provides a secure hold in either hand and at any angle, providing a new level of ease, comfort and utility to the user.
“Zircon introduced the world’s first electronic stud finder almost three decades ago, and always led the industry with innovative technology,” says President John Stauss. “But the EDGE is something different – the forerunner of a new generation of high-tech hand tools that emphasize the ‘hand’ as well as the technology inside. These new tools custom fit the technology to the user, as well as the task at hand. On the job, when it counts, there’s nothing else like it.”
There are also important new upgrades “under the hood.” StudSensor™ EDGE features a newly redesigned SpotLite® Pointer System and audio alert to clearly identify the stud edge. It also addresses the most common user error with its over-the-stud indicator that alerts users if scanning begins over a stud.
Perfect for the decorator or do-it-yourselfer, StudSensor™ EDGE is the answer when securing anything to a wall. Whether users are hanging items like pictures or shelves, or securing heavy bookcases or furniture, StudSensor™ EDGE helps users anchor their projects sturdily and securely to wall studs.
At a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9.99, StudSensor™ EDGE is competitively priced, perfect for today’s economy in which every penny must work hard for consumers who are handling their own household repairs and home improvement projects. The tool is available online and at hardware and home centers nationwide.
