Black & Decker BDL190S BullsEye Stud Finder Review

The main advantage of Black & Decker BDL190S BullsEye is the presence of an integrated laser level. Such a tool will help you make your work much easier. BDL190S perfectly suits you if you want to hang a picture or a new shelf on the wall. You do not have to do any additional measurements. This tool already has a built-in laser level, which is auto-aligned for 5 seconds. Despite the fact that this instrument is not a very powerful laser level, it is quiet very useful and convenient. The length of the laser beam is about 20 feet and this is not very much when compared with professional laser levels. The auto-leveling laser works pretty well. After all, first of all, you buy a stud finder, and the laser level is an addition.

Display

BDL190S has an easy to read LCD display that will let you know when the tool detects a stud.

Battery

The big positive point is that the device uses 2 AA batteries. Therefore, even if you do not use this tool for a long time and the batteries are exhausted, you can use batteries from a conventional TV remote control.

Ease of use

For those who had a traditional stud finder without a laser level, it was necessary to buy one more instrument in addition, so that your pictures would hang exactly horizontally. Now, this is not so. You just need to find the stud with the help of BDL190S, fix it on the wall and it will show you a perfectly flat horizontal line. Being guided by this line you can easily hang a new shelf or picture.
Like most stud detector models, the BDL190S can detect studs made of wood and metal. Plus, the BDL190S can find live wires inside the wall. This can be very useful when you want to drill a wall and do not know exactly where the wiring is. After all, if you damage the electrical wires, a short circuit may occur. And if you do not even get electrocuted, you still have to change the wires in the place of damage. So if you do not want this to happen to you, Black & Decker BDL190S will help you.

To fix the device on the wall there are several options. The first is to stud locator into a wall, not a big nail and hang BDL190S on it.
The second – on the case of BDL190S there are special felt strips, and they work as a well-known Velcro.

My conclusions

This tool is perfect for working at home. After all, the stud locator is not the tool that we often use at home. The built-in laser level is also very convenient for occasional work in the house. Black & Decker also offers a two-year warranty on its device and user support.
