    Hi.

    Wondering if you guys could recommend one of these? Lots on Amazon that get pretty good reviews, but none of them seem to be fully reliable!!
    I'm a beginner DIY guy. Any help appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Use a magnet. You can get them on Amazon.

    Copper wire is not attracted to a magnet, nor is a wooden batten!

    OP, those stud detectors are very hit 'n' miss. Cheap ones are definitely crap.
