2in1 Pinless Moisture Meters

Works very well and simple to use. Gives peace of mind that our logs are properly seasoned before we burn them.

I bought this as I suspected a patch of dampness in the front porch and was attracted by its combination of use on softwood, hardwood, plasterboard and masonry. Once I installed the two included AAA batteries, removed the adhesive screen protector and switched on I found ease of use straightforward. It can be used in both a Scanning mode, whereby the rear of the meter is placed flat on a surface, or in Prod mode with the two metal probes exposed by flipping over a cover on the top and piercing the material you wish to measure. Bear in mind that the probes have to be pushed into the material so they will leave a couple of pinprick holes. Accuracy in Prod mode is plus or minus 2% while in Scanning mode (which measures to a depth of 20mm) is plus or minus 4%. An audible alarm sounds when Scanning reads >17% moisture in wood and 70% in masonry; and Prod reads >17%. I particularly like the Hold function, a button on the front which when pressed locks the reading for viewing and proved helpful when using in an enclosed space. A light, solid meter made in China that comes with a carry case that attaches to a waist belt. It’s backlit display is easy to read. Several YouTube videos of its use are available and it seems to feature in several Top 5 or Top 10 moisture meters. For the price I’ve found it to be good value.

I bought this to check on damp levels in our caravan. It is easy to use, especially in the non-destructive mode without the pins making holes, but is not as accurate as those used for professional caravan servicing - but it is a tiny fraction of the cost and doesn;t need calibrating every day. Respose is very quickand the comparitive results are in line with the professional survey a couple of weeks earlier. Also used on some wood - just for fun and with the prods in use on timber it does look to be quite accurate. The pins are VERY sharp and the little plastic tip covers are easy to lose, but with a tilting cover, they're not completely necessary. For the price, it is a reasonable product

Love this moisture tester, it’s really good to see if my wood is ok to burn. Works well, was great value and small with a carry case. It seems to be pretty accurate too.

Easy to use

Exactly as ordered

Not had the item long enough to be able to give a proper response to how good or bad it may be but I can say it does give a reading (2 percent) on a bit of ultra dry wood that has been hanging around my garage for a couple of years, I may start charging it rent, and it gave a very much higher reading on one of my deck planks that has been down for over two years and is constantly damp due to rain, will this rain never stop ✋ So I would have to say that based on just those two measurements that it works. For my purposes, wood burner logs moisture level, I’m sure it would be adequate and it’s fast so when the delivery man drops my next bulk builders bags of oak I’ll be able to check that the logs are 20% or less as stated by the seller. Bet they love these meters 😂

Great
