From the brand
Why do the pin and pinless readings look different?
That’s normal.Pin meters measure moisture at a specific spot by touching the material.
Pinless meters scan the surface quickly to give a reference value.
Is this as precise as a laboratory meter?
This tool is designed for home inspection, woodworking, and construction use with ±2.5% accuracy, not for laboratory testing.
When should I use Pin (probe) vs. Pinless (non-invasive) mode?
Pin: Best for thick wood, drywall, or concrete; the probe needs to penetrate the material.
Pinless: Best for quick scans of large areas.

Accurate, easy to use moisture meter
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.

MUST HAVE for happy camp fires
No more smokey, smoldering camp fires. Before camping I bake my firewood in an outdoor electric oven for several hours. The result, 0% moisture. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone tired of complaints about their camp fires. KNOW YOUR WOOD before leaving home with this moisture meter. Do whatever it takes to reduce water content.

Useless for Woodworking
I decided to get a moisture meter for lumber I use in furniture making. Product arrived with a small paper “instructions” sheet that gave very little actual instruction. I tested 20+ pieces of hardwood and softwood lumber in my shop, all but one board read â0.00%â, even with the pins buried fully in the wood. (I then looked on YouTube and learned the pins must be oriented in the same direction as the wood grain, which would be a useful bit of information to include in the package “instructions”.)However, even when used as recommended, I could not get readings in hard maple, lacewood, or other dense hardwoods. I did finally get a maple reading by drilling holes in the wood that allowed me to fully insert the pins. To get several readings over the length of a board, I would have to drill multiple holes in the face of the board, and this of course would ruin that piece of wood for making furniture.Further research informed me that pin-type moisture meters only measure the moisture between the pins, which is of course quite shallow. Since much of my lumber is 8/4, 10/4, and 12/4 rough stock which I resaw to make the board thicknesses I want, this means a pinned meter won’t tell me anything about how much moisture is deep in the wood where I’ll be sawing, and I run the risk of severe warping after I resaw.To get the actual moisture content, you need to use a pinless meter. Pinless meters have been proven to be more accurate and reproducible in their readings than pinned meters, especially with thick pieces of wood. A pinned meter should be fine for folks who are looking at firewood or other uses, but for woodworkers, they are basically useless. I should have done more research before I bought this meter.I have returned this item for refund and have purchased a reliable pinless meter.

Good price and seems to work well when logs for our log burner have been checked. It even has batteries and a spare pair of probes in the box
