Wood Moisture Meter for Wood, Like Hardwood and Softwood Pin Moisture Tester

Exactly as described. Works as it should and the instructions are pretty straightforward. I would say the hardest part for some would be knowing hardwood from softwood…Super easy to use!

pretty accurate i have a real good expensive meter, i needed one for my cabin, this one is pretty good, pretty close with my good one

basic and easy to use. it worked really good and we were able to pinpoint all the moister in our walls after the hurricanes.

I was actually surprised with the quality of this moisture meter. It feels solid and well made in your hand, - not flimsy. It's easy to use. Just turn it on and press both pins in the end of the device into the wood at least 5cm from the edge to get an accurate reading. The display is large, back lit and easy to read. It comes in a storage box wrapped in a cloth pouch, two additional pins, and a small tool to change them out should this become necessary. There is also an instruction pamphlet, but honestly the use of the thing is pretty self explanatory. This thing takes a reliable reading and that's all it needs to do. It's inexpensive, and with Prime, you can have it in a hurry. Definitely worth it.

Item works well you can measure different types of materials and how much moisture is in it. It turns red when it goes above a certain percentage of moisture which I found helpful and it just works off of batteries.

I was hesitant at first to really push the prongs into the wood because I was sure I'd crack the plastic, but so far it's handled it. Has a nice clear screen and a bright flashlight as well!

Having never owned a wood stove before, we didn’t know much about firewood or how dry it needed to be. This little unit has made it super easy to check if our firewood's moisture level is too high—a total game changer when we come across a few wet pieces. While it sometimes struggles to detect very low moisture (below 4%), that’s not an issue for most people. I also love the range of options for measuring different types of wood, like softwood or hardwood. Overall, it’s a great tool!

I was suspicious when I checked my outdoor siding three sunny dry days in a row and it said it was 19%. So I got a general tools model that was a bit more expensive but was actually accurate and indicated it was only 8%. I tested the general tools several times and it is accurate. This piece of junk is not. Waste of money, and lost several days I could have been painting outside.
