Review: Great tool, But - Scanner itself works great. My concern is why did it arrive wrapped in bubble wrap and not in factory packaging? Was this a return? Review: Full featured easy to read large lighted screen, love electrical and battery indicators. - I seem to go through stud finders about every 5 years or so. They just seem to stop working well after some time. I usually buy the cheaper models, so I guess I should expect that. This Zircon is a step up from what I usually buy. There are a few things I like about this model (A200) and a few minor things I don't. The things I like are the accuracy when it finds a stud and the red light on center. The ability to show electrical is great. This is a new feature for me. One great feature is the battery indicator. I have found that stud finders are quite particular about having a fully charged strong battery in them. In the cheaper models you don’t know the battery is weakening and you start having problems or difficulties. Usually, a fresh strong battery is the solution. This one is no different. I installed a “new” battery but right away it showed it was low and the device has some operational issues. I found another new battery that was strong, and the device worked fine. Seeing the charge level of the battery is a great feature. The things I don't like are the size.... it is kind of large in my hand. Also, it is a little touchy with regard to finding studs, sometimes it reads falsely, you really need to go over a suspected stud a few times to make sure you have a stud. This is no different than others I have used. Also, this has a metal search, great for finding pipes and such. Overall, this is a good device for the money. I wish it was a little smaller and didn’t get false reading like it does from time to time but these are minor issues. Positives: • Nice large screen • Full featured, electrical, stud, metal scan • Battery monitor when low • Clear lighted indication of center of stud • Reasonable cost Negatives: • Rather large size in hand • Can get false reading sometimes. Honestly this is a good device. I think it could be made a little better, perhaps a rechargeable built in lithium battery instead of these 9 volts and a smaller more ergonomic design but again, this is a solid device that I expect years of service from, and my dislikes are pretty minor. Recommended 5 stars. This is my honest review of this item; I hope this it was helpful in your buying decision process. ## Features - ALL-IN-ONE SCANNING TOOL – Detect with Confidence: A versatile 3-in-1 detector that combines stud, metal, and live AC wire detection in one compact device. It easily identifies wood or metal studs, concealed pipes, and electrical wiring hidden behind walls, making it the perfect all-purpose tool for construction, remodeling, and home improvement projects. - ACCURATE CENTER AND EDGE FINDING: Advanced sensors accurately locate both the center and edges of wood and metal studs up to ¾ inch deep, ensuring precise placement for nails, screws, or anchors. This precision helps prevent unnecessary wall damage and guarantees a secure mount for heavy objects like TVs, shelves, or cabinets. - ADVANCED WIREWARNING TECHNOLOGY – Smart Safety Scanning: Built-in WireWarning technology identifies the presence of live, unshielded electrical wires up to 2 inches deep, helping you avoid accidental contact and ensuring a safer work environment. Whether you’re drilling, sawing, or cutting, this safety feature provides peace of mind by alerting you before you hit a live wire. - DEDICATED METAL SCAN MODE – Smart Scanning Made Simple: Specialized Metal Scan mode detects both ferrous metals (such as rebar and nails) and non-ferrous metals (like copper pipes and aluminum conduit). This makes it invaluable for plumbing, electrical, or renovation work—helping you map out hidden materials before you cut, drill, or fasten. - USER-FRIENDLY AND DURABLE DESIGN: The bright, easy-to-read LCD display provides clear visual feedback for stud edges, centers, metal, and live wires, while audible alerts confirm detection. Designed with an ergonomic grip and balanced body for comfort and control, it ensures smooth, fatigue-free scanning on walls, ceilings, and even floors. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09CVB1L77 | | Batteries Required? | Yes | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,873 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #18 in Stud Finders & Scanners | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,346) | | Date First Available | August 18, 2021 | | Display Style | LCD | | Included Components | MultiScanner | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 11.3 ounces | | Item model number | 72300 | | Manufacturer | Zircon | | Material | Plastic | | Package Dimensions | 9.29 x 6.34 x 3.58 inches | | Part Number | 72300 | | Pattern | Finder | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Size | Center Finding | | Style | A250c | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zircon - **Color:** Yellow - **Batteries Required?:** Yes - **Material:** Plastic - **Power Source:** Battery Powered ## Images ![Zircon® MultiScanner™ A250c Stud Finder for Wood & Metal, Enhanced Display | Enhanced scanning helps locate studs, metal and live AC wiring before drilling, hanging and mounting, up to 1.5 in. deep - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710nH5xn-AL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I need the scanner dimensions so I can get a case? I need the scanner dimensions, not the package dimensions.** A: 7.5” X 3.5” X 2” **Q: Do any of you that have the A250c have any recommendations for a hard or soft case? Perhaps one with a durable zipper?** A: What you might try is small pistol case that is foamed lined, it also would allow ec=xtra space for misc tools, **Q: Will this detect metal furring strips behind 5/8 inch sheet rock?... Without picking up rebar embedded in the concrete behind the furring strips?** A: The MT6 will locate rebar in 6 inches of concrete the M200 locates metal behind sheet rock up to 1 inch **Q: Does the A200 beep when it detects edges of beam? Or does it beep only for center of beam?** A: Hi. The sounder only beeps when the scanner has detected a stud center. The edge indications are visual only.

I often have to scan the same area more than once or double-check with another tool to confirm the results. For basic tasks, it's fine-but don't expect perfect accuracy evtime. Still a decent tool overall, just be prepared to verify your findings. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zircon MultiScanner A250c All-In-One Stud Finder/Metal Detector/Live AC Wire Detection and Scanner - CaseSack Case for Stud Finder compatible with Zircon Multiscanner A200, A250, A250c, StudSensor A100, A150, mesh pocket for back up battery and other small accessories - Duracell Coppertop 9V Battery, 2 Count Pack, 9-Volt Battery with Long-lasting Power, All-Purpose Alkaline 9V Battery for Household and Office Devices --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/356028558-zircon-multiscanner-a250c-stud-finder-for-wood-and-metal-enhanced](https://www.desertcart.us/products/356028558-zircon-multiscanner-a250c-stud-finder-for-wood-and-metal-enhanced) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-05*
