Default New tool
I just got this new tool I saw in a supply house called the magnetic mouse. It is like the magna fish but less expensive. I used it today and it worked great, just giving everyone a heads up.

I got a couple of the squares and they're stronger than I expected, never thought of trying it for fishing though. I'll have to add one to my tool bag.

If it works as well as the magnafish then that's not bad for $51. I remember going to that site a long time ago and the product being much more expensive. The site was also a lot more "cheesy" .

Or you could use this one to find the line AND make the hole

I have been using the rare earth magnets for finding studs for a long time It works real good in modern homes. But not so much for plaster.
