About Zircon

Founded in 1975 in Silicon Valley, Zircon® began as a pioneer in consumer electronics, manufacturing innovative digital watches and operating the Fairchild Channel-F video game division.

In 1980, recognizing the need for precision electronic hand tools to support everyday home improvement projects, Zircon® transitioned into the hardware industry. Leveraging decades of expertise in electronics, we introduced the StudSensor™—the original patented electronic stud finder—revolutionizing the way professionals and DIYers work.

Today, Zircon® remains committed to delivering affordable, accurate, and easy-to-use solutions for stud, metal, thermal, and electrical detection. Our team of Tool Pro Experts provides exceptional customer support, offering practical knowledge and guidance for projects of all sizes. When you contact Zircon®, you’ll speak with real, knowledgeable professionals who understand your challenges and are ready to help.

With a global presence in over 30 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia, Zircon® continues to lead as the only company dedicated exclusively to electronic hand tools—focused on innovation and the complete customer experience.
