I buy lumber in the rough direct from the mill. That way I get an excellent price and am able to let the lumber air dry until needed. Before making some thing delicate— I need to know the moisture in the wood.
This will be an invaluable tool for this process. Shipping was free– always a plus.

I never bother with negative reviews, but this meter is a complete piece of junk simply because it’s incredibly cheaply made. Mine worked for about ten minutes. Save your money.

I purchased this meter to check the moisture content of my firewood. I gave it an honest try and apparently my wood is tinder dry because the reading is always 00% even freshly split! The instructions are a joke, can’t even begin to describe there vagueness, or lack of english. As soon as humanly possible I will be shipping it back. I truely hope that I got a defective unit and everyone else’s experiences are genuine. I won’t be purchasing any more products from this company.

Great little meter. Outperforms peers that are 4x the price. Easy to use and accurate readings.

Bought it to measure the new solid hardwood floor I was planning on installing. It didn’t read it at all. It didn’t even read the plywood underlayment that I had in the house. It worked fine on a tree in my front yard….avoid this lousy meter unless you are measuing softwood or firewood and are you are OK with a +/- 10% margin of error. Plus, four pins were hard to insert. Dissapointing. Going back.
