Find Empty Brad Holes with a Stud Sensor

When my brad nailer runs out of fasteners, it's hard to tell where the nailing stopped because the tool leaves an impression in the wood whether it drives a nail or not. To determine where to start again after reloading, I pass my density-sensing stud sensor along the fastening line. The sensor points to only the dimples that have fasteners in them.
