Zircon, the manufacturer of the original stud finder and category creator, is on a mission to re-imagine one of the most popular tools sold in hardware stores.
Few brands have captured and held a category like Zircon, the manufacturer of the original stud finder. For more than 40 years, Zircon has been the leader and maintains a constant presence on store shelves and online sites, including the largest home improvement retailers in North America. The company continues to innovate and improve its proprietary stud finding technologies, while branching out with other sophisticated electronic handheld tools.
Zircon recently led a years-long research and development project with the goal of making wall mapping easier, redefining the standard for stud finder performance. The company’s latest innovation is the SuperScan® ID advanced stud finder. Now in its third generation, the tool features new One Touch™ technology that can identify wood studs, metal studs, live, unshielded AC wires and low-density objects without having to change modes.
The new 4-Color Target ID display indicates the object type by color for instant visual recognition, and a haptic vibration and patented SpotLite® pointer shines an arrow-shaped beam on the wall, to clearly indicate the target’s location.
Even with the technology upgrade, the revolutionary SuperScan® ID advanced stud finder remains at an attractive mass market price. With 100% quality assurance testing, 99.9% fill rates, on-time deliveries, and established retail distribution channels, Zircon continues to expand its brand presence in hardware stores, distributors, online, and specialty retailers worldwide.
A wholly owned subsidiary of ZRCN Inc., Zircon is much more than just a stud finder manufacturer, however. It is no coincidence that the company was founded and is based in the Silicon Valley of Northern California, the heart of the technology sector. With more than 100 U.S. and foreign patents, the company designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes an extended range of sensor technologies in electronic hand tools including wall scanners, metal detectors, circuit breaker finders, drill guides, water detectors, and leveling tools.
