Questions & Answers
Zero percent is most often displayed on interior walls. Taking measurements in other parts of the room will be the most accurate way to judge the walls or ceiling. I agree that 20% is way too You should also check to make sure the wall has no metal, especially in the corners. If there is metal in the wall then the reading will be false.
It was a gift from my husband. This meter is specifically used to check drywall in non-drywalled areas A pin mode is available. Despite my best efforts, I began to notice that the meter had no means of being "calibrated.". As a test, I put it up on a known dry wall section There was a reading of 0% on the meter. When I slid the device over the suspected area, I received readings ranging from 15% up to 60%. As I suspected, my suspicions have been confirmed. When I cut a large rectangle out of the 3/4" drywall ceiling, it was quite wet and dripping inside. There was wetness and sponginess in the open cell foam insulation. Moving on the screen, the meter reading is instant and there is no apparent lag. Fruit pieces can even be distinguished by the app. In my test of oranges, I received readings between 40% and 55%. I'm amazed at how good this device is!
You can choose between the needling mode or the scanning mode for the probe needles. With the scanning mode, no pinhole marks will be left behind. Please accept my sincere thanks!
There is no way to replace the pins.
Selected User Reviews For Wood Moisture Meter, 2 in 1 Pin & Pinless Moisture Meter for Wood, Dr.meter Backlit LCD Display Pin-type & Scanner Wood Multifunctional Moisture Tester for Firewood/Drywall/Building/Furniture-Upgraded
The product was returned to the seller for a It's been a long time since I've heard from you- It didn’t work, but it was supposed to. Testing was performed on seasoned firewood that had been stored under roof for two years, on recently split wood (six months ago), and then on a green tree that had been cut up, but not split, two weeks earlier. The wood is way off if we read it all. A meter indicated that the wood was still wet, even though it was dry. There he is. A test on green wood showed it was almost dry enough to burn, but it was too dry to The last thing I would do. I couldn't seem to get it to read over 25% no matter what I did. When I messaged the seller to see if I might have a defective unit, I received two gibberish replies from him, one telling me that the unit was without help, instructions, or instructions on how to reset The meter and the seller didn't inspire faith in me, so I refused to pay. It was sent back to Amazon for a refund, which they handled well. What a shame There was a reason I was hoping it would.
I find this moisture meter to be very useful. A belt or toolbox can be easily attached to it, and it can be stored in a toolbox. I was pleased with the performance of the functions. Having owned it for a while now, I have become quite fond of this There is a word of caution though for those who have never used a moisture meter, the functions will only work well on the material that it is set for, and won't work at all on other Even if you set it for a bone-lifting function, it will operate just as expected Anything containing cat urine in the area will test as waterlogged even if the laminate flooring is dry, and anything with dry laminate flooring will test as waterlogged if the pin mode is used.
The homeowner got his money's worth within five minutes of using this moisture meter. To test my suspicion that there was some dampness in a drywall ceiling, I used the pinless drywall mode on my moisture meter. A moisture meter showed high levels of moisture for a very narrow area within a couple of inches of accuracy. A clear decision had been made. The problem now can be easily fixed!.
Wood that is a few years old that I often work with has a very humid environment and I live in a Combining these two things makes it essential for me to use a moisture meter when I'm working on Considering the price of the meter, this particular moisture meter is actually quite a bargain. It is true there are pros and cons, but I believe the pros greatly outweigh the cons. The pros are Observations 1. The price point is In this case, it's the price that really sets this moisture meter apart. 1. . 2. The scanning process (pinless) consists of I prefer not to use meters with pins, but it may just be me. Certainly, this meter has pins if that is what you want to do, however, I find it much easier and quicker to simply scan the pieces before interpreting them. Lastly, 3. It is multifaceted The selection of the material A meter can be set to display 4 different types of materials (softwood, hardwood, masonry, and It is true that so far I have always worked with hardwood material here, hence my sole use of hardwood settings. Item 4. The ease of use of the program Easy to use, large buttons, and easy to read screen make it easy to work with. The cons are Observations 1. The inability to refine the selection of materials In the past, I have used meters that let me select the material to be used. As an example, black walnut and white oak are quite different from a density standpoint. Although both of these materials are hardwoods, they will yield different results when measured. 1. . 2. I find the meter to read a little high compared to other meters I've used The reason for this may be that no refinement materials were selected for refinement. A summary
In my opinion, this moisture meter is a good tool to use when working with wood. The cheaper, hundreds-of-dollar machine will not have the same accuracy as the expensive machine It is the nature of the minimalism that the material selection is limited to dollar meters. When applied to a piece that you know is completely dry, you can compare the results with the results of this product. There is no complaint in this situation, as long as the objective is to determine whether there is moisture behind a wall. However, I am using it for woodworking, so my results need to be compared to dried hardwood. The answer to the question is yes, I would buy it again. I recommend you do the same if you do not wish to spend a lot of money.
Another one of these meters came to me ($69 with tax) and the numbers on it were scattered. I am going to use this My house is built with wood that has been in it for years without any pins. An 8% to 10% increase denotes I just cut a log, so this should be about right A third of the pins are without pins and the third has I'm cool with that. You rock! Some wood that had been drying for a long time was off by 200% on my other meter. There is a total of 16% in both directions. If you choose the wrong wood type (hardwood and softwood were the types I tested The more expensive meter didn't have this option)
Only downside It doesn't remember your last setting, so if you always use it for the same thing, you will have to change it over and over. That won't be a problem for me since I don't expect to use it so frequently. Although it doesn't appear to be able to store a byte of information, it might be possible.
There is a big number on the Two types of operation are supported by this machine (scan and pin). Our purpose in buying this is to inspect the mushroom logs on our By using the moisture number, we will be able to determine what we need to do. Pin mode results tend to be more precise. By the way, it can report the temperature in Fahrenheit as well as Cecilia.
The item appears to be in good condition. I like how easy it is When you place the device on the wall to read the moisture, it's easy to read and easy to use. I saw other examples where you needed to press the metal prongs into My decision to choose laser reading was based on that feature. A user can read other materials from the web because it has multiple prongs for reading. There is a hold button on the hold button, which.
This meter helped me measure the moisture content of my sink cabinets after a water leak appeared from the sink and I needed to properly dry them out. I highly recommend this tool for measuring how wet a piece of wood is inside. Used it to figure out how much time I would need to dry the wood. for accuracy, I do not have another tool to compare it to, but I measured a dry cabinet against a wet one to get a rough idea of where a "dry" reading should Depending on where you live, there will be moisture in all wood.
