Studfinding screw

[Tynee]

Anybody ever seen a studfinding screw like he uses in this video, or better yet, know where to find one?

Thanks in advance.

I picked up one of these kits this spring at a yard sale.
I have not used it yet, but need to in our bedroom.

Ooooooooohhhhhhhh, the studfinding screw comes with the tripod. I didn't realize that until I followed the Amazon link. I bought the tripod at HD a year ago, but couldn't find the studfinding screw. After further investigation, turns out it was in my kit, too.

Thanks, Paulsomlo!!

Care to elaborate, before I waste an evening doing it?

Worked great on a couple of very loose stair treads for me.
