Abstract

A stud finder device which includes an integrated marking mechanism to enhance ease and accuracy in locating and marking studs within walls is disclosed. The device comprises a substantially planar main body equipped with a magnetic sensor for detecting metal fasteners. A two-pronged trigger-activated (i.e., actuated) pencil assembly includes a pair of pencils for marking the wall and is embedded within the device thereby enabling for hands-free marking directly at the detected stud locations. The assembly is actuated using a trigger disposed on a handle wherein the handle is coupled to the main body. The main body is maneuverable along a wall surface, facilitated by a pair of wheels and the handle that enables users to operate the device comfortably from a standing position. Stud indication markers are positioned across the front and rear surfaces of the main body and signal the presence of studs.
