This is the third one I’ve owned over the past 10-12 years. The reason I’ve had three is because they’re used hard and just tossed into my toolbox when I’m finished. Hands down the best Moisture Meter I’ve had……

I’ve got and old one and a fairly new one. Readings are a slight bit different but for home owner, painter, woodworking it’s close enough. Excellent for price and good tool for home owner.

I have hidden leaks in my home. Home inspection and a structural engineer were useless. After spending $1000 on them, I figured what’s another thirty some dollars, right? Well I’m too worried about ruining wall paper to push in the spikes, so I just press them flat wise against my walls and bricks where I am looking for moisture. I have found it to be really accurate. I mean I do this before and after rain near windows, plumbing, etc. and it gives the swing in readings, wet to dry again were there actually is a leak. The only thing I can’t get away with on is my wood floors. These have to be fully stabbed and still no real reading, but wood joists were O.K. ’cause they are rough, not polished. The first 9 volt battery is lasting really long. What a great cheap little item if you own an older home.

I had one of these for years but broke it so bought this as a replacement. Having the prongs on a wire is a big advantage over the other designs when you’re up a ladder or squeezing into tight spaces and can’t always have your head in the right place to read the meter. This overcomes that problem and I wouldn’t be without it.

I use these in my work as a roofing contractor to do repairs and determine the exact areas of a leak. It is very sensitive. Even moisture in your hand will tip the meter. It is very accurate and durable. If you need something to test moisture, this is the best bang for your buck. I would highly recommend.

I measured the moisture in various woods (intended purpose), and it appears to register “what I consider to be” good moisture levels. Thanks.
