Klein Tools 80023P Tool Set, Home Inspector Tool Kit with Digital Moisture Meter, Non-Contact Voltage Tester, GFCI Outlet Tester, 3-Piece

bought it to use it on my TT, since there are some water intrusion issues... Its nice it doesnt make any holes in the material... Its accuracy?...I am not sure about it, since it seems to have a grey area after reaching 28% of humidity, it suddenly goes into overload (red LEDs lighting up)...would be better if it would be accurate till 100%

Was getting inconsistent readings on wood that got wet due to a dishwasher issue. Discovered that raising my hand off the meter an inch or two would reduce the reading about 1-2%. Similarly gripping it tighter or looser would change the reading about ±2% on wood that was at around 17%. See pictures. First is obviously not gripping the meter. Second is approaching the meter. Last is gripping the meter (not pressing down at all). It still says our masonry (there was no subfloor) is off the scale in several spots though Ive been running a dehumidifier for weeks. I suspect that is due to the rough texture of the concrete. If youre only looking for relative numbers this could work but otherwise its no good. I missed the return window, otherwise it would be going back.

Picked it up to test lumber when I go to the yard. Works well and seems accurate. My only complaint is the battery... toss it and get a better one (9V). It lasted less than 2 weeks, even with almost no use *and* stored outside the meter disconnected.

I do drywall repairs for a living so it’s nice to have something to make sure there is no more moisture before we close at the patches..

Bought this item from the warehouse. It is not working properly and the battery that comes with it is almost dead. The tool is shutting off right after a high reading has been taken. Otherwise, it seems like it would be a handy, easy to use, tool.

We needed to check our inner walls for moisture, and this meter did the trick for us.

After a leak in our bathroom, I wanted to monitor the drying process. This meter did the job great and came up with similar readings to a professionally calibrated meter. Highly recommended!

Best money spent . A -PLUS !! very nice !!

I bought this pin-less moisture meter specifically because it states it can read moisture to a depth of 3/4, and to measure the moisture in my fire wood. Its easy to use, no doubt, but is it accurate? I got suspicious passing the device over some pieces of cut wood and getting iffy readings, so I did a simple test: stick the device on my bare forearm: off the scale as expected; then over my shirt pressing on the forearm (so thats, what, 1/32?) and the reading is on the scale and around 20% moisture. So, yeah, just about useless for fire wood. It might work well for drywall, but given the above results I dont know that I can trust it.

As advertised
