i've literally never seen a stud finder that doesn't also detect wiring and pipes

There’s too much variation in size of wires and pipes for it to work well. Wires may also be tucked back farther on the stud.
Wow, I've seen stud finders unable to find studs. You must live in an alternate dimension than the one I do.
