Can anyone recommend a good stud and cable locator without paying the earth?
 
I've just bought a Bosch DMO 10E from Axminster Power Tools. Seems OK cost around £35. It is really a metal detector, so it needs nails in the studs to find them.
 
Can second that.
I also have cheap studm/ metal finder from Argos whichis almost as good and a lot cheaper. It does find wooden studs, but its easierto look for the nails and work out where the studs are.

Recently had to put a vent in a laminated floor. Found the floorboard nails first, so I could miss the joists.
