Re: Finding where NOT to drill through drywall

I'm putting up some wire shelving in the garage. I need to nail in several wall clips no more than a foot apart, and from what I read, studs are generally 16" or more. My cheap stud finder doesn't detect anything where I hit metal, but it may not be very accurate.

Is your water heater in the garage? It could be gas piping. If you have attic space above the garage, can you take a look above that wall?
