## Abstract

An article of manufacture for providing a magnetic laser stud finder according to the present invention is a magnetic laser stud finder including a device body having a first end, a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface, a cross beam laser device projecting from the first end, a pair of magnets coupled within the bottom surface of the device body, and a pair of float level devices coupled within the top surface of the device body. The pair of float level devices are configured to provide orthogonally positioned devices providing a horizontal level and a vertical level.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An article of manufacture providing a magnetic laser stud finder, the magnetic laser stud finder comprises:
a device body having a first end, a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface;
a cross beam laser device projecting from the first end;
a pair of magnets coupled within the bottom surface of the device body; and
a pair of float level devices coupled within the top surface of the device body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 1, wherein the pair of float level devices are configured to provide orthogonally positioned devices providing a horizontal level and a vertical level.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic laser stud finder further comprises:
a battery contained within a cavity within the device body; and
a push button power switch electrically coupling the battery to the cross beam laser device, the push button power switch activates the cross beam laser device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 1, wherein the pair of magnets comprising two Neodymium magnets for detecting nails and screws securing the drywall to support studs.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 4, wherein the two Neodymium magnets attach the magnetic laser stud finder to the wall without support from a user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 1, wherein the cross beam laser device projects light parallel to the horizontal level and perpendicular to the vertical level.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic laser stud finder is coupled to a tripod.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The magnetic laser stud finder according to claim 2, wherein the magnetic laser stud finder further comprises a removable battery cover over the cavity within the device body.
