I have a stud finder, multiple sized levels, a laser level, cordless drill/driver, tape measures, and 2 cases of various screws, nails, hooks, wires, anchors, etc. I live for this kind of thing.
Get a MicroJig Gripper. Better than a push stick for most things you’ll run through a table saw.
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
Do you like it? I have kinda given up on them because they never seem to work consistently. I've had a couple of different ones. I've had a lot more luck with neodymium magnets to find the screws.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I move the stud finder slowly until it hits 100% on the indicator, make a small pencil mark, and then do it again from the other side of the stud. Split the difference and that's the center of the stud.

I love the assumption that I'm just doing it wrong rather than the unit being defective.
The 100% is one of the issues I have. I've never really been able to get anything near that. And I get a bunch of false positives. I wonder whether southern nevada's love of orange peel walls has anything to do with the detector's performance.

I have no idea the process you use and made no assumptions. Just giving you my process for what it's worth.
Maybe get a stud finder from Home Depot instead of Harbor Freight?

I like my Franklin Sensor version. No need to run it along the wall. It's available at Home Depot, Amazon, and even Harbor Freight. I think I got mine from Costco.

Works great. Never had a problem.

I have orange peel walls, and my $20 Zircon stud finder, purchased at Home Depot, works just fine. I think this is a user issue.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
