Description

Key Features

Laser line marking

The LASER-MARK projects the stud location so you can line up cabinets, shelves, and fasteners without drawing all over the wall.

Hands-free magnets

Two rare-earth magnets find screws and nails and can hold the stud finder on the wall, freeing up your hands for layout and drilling.

Centered notch accuracy

Precision centered marking notches and a high-visibility bubble level help you place fasteners where you actually want them.

Overview

The Kreg Tool LASER-MARK Magnetic Stud Finder (Model KMM1000LZ) is a magnetic stud finder designed for locating fasteners in studs and projecting that location with a laser so you can install cabinets, shelves, and wall-mounted hardware with less guesswork. It is built for quick stud location on both wood and metal studs using magnets, plus a laser line for clean layout.

Instead of scanning like an electronic wall scanner, this stud finder targets what is already in the wall: screws and nails. The two powerful magnets grab onto fasteners in the stud, giving you a reliable “here it is” point that you can verify by sliding up and down to find the next fastener in the same stud line.

Once you have the fastener, the LASER-MARK projection helps you keep your layout consistent. That is a big deal when you are hanging multiple cabinets, mounting a rail, or lining up shelf standards and you want your holes to track the stud line without repeatedly re-finding the stud.

The built-in high-visibility bubble level and precision centered marking notches are there for the practical stuff: plumb and level installs, and a clear, repeatable place to mark center without crowding the wall with pencil lines.

It is also designed to be used with or without batteries. You can still use the magnets to locate studs, and when you want the laser projection you power it with AAA batteries.
