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

I was skeptical about this tool but we had professionals come in after we took our readings and their tools agreed with this one. Worth the cost. It does require pressing the tool on the surface so its not for checking dampness from a distance. Easy to use and read.

I should have made this purchase a long time ago. I like to work with wood from my property whenever I can. There is something cool about milling it on the bandsaw and creating something with it. But it takes wood a long time to dry out and I find myself getting impatient which can lead to problems. This tool forces me to wait longer when necessary and allows me to get working with wood when the moisture content is down. I prefer the pinless - but also couldnt tell you for sure how the two would compare in accuracy. Great addition to the shop.

I’m trying to dry in a basement and have to make sure it stays under a certain moisture level. This unit is of high quality and is super easy to use.

Apparently I had a bathroom leak that ran into my office, soaking the carpet. My insurance wouldnt cover it and a crew recommended I rip out and replace all the walls for $10k! 1) They didnt even use a machine to see what walls were affected 2) Im a 56 year old female living paycheck to paycheck and dont have that kind of money. I watched some YouTube videos and bought this. I ripped out all the carpet, rented a fan from home depot and used the moisture meter. It showed me exactly what pieces of drywall were dry and which ones were wet and needed to be replaced. I cut out the wet pieces, and replaced them. I kept checking this machines gauge on other things and it is extremely accurate. I later installed tile. Its been a year and I havent had any problems. This saved me big $$!

Initially the item worked well assessing moisture content on a sailboat. Then it suddenly would only display an error message. This is clearly a cheap product that works well, most moisture meters run around $300-400, so assuming the next one works for a reasonable amount of time this will be a great value. We shall see.

I’m a contractor & I use this often for floor, Works great I really like it.

As advertised

This works very well. I like it.

I bought this meter to help estimate damage while adjusting insurance claims. It seems to work well and is fairly accurate when compared with the ones that the mitigation contractors use. It is not as accurate as the kind that have needles that poke into the material, but it doesnt leave marks on the material.

I had a plumbing leak behind my wall, and this thing was useless. On visibly wet sections, it gave me lower moisture readings than on sections that I later found to be unaffected by the leak (i.e., 3 feet above the leak location). I immediately returned it for a refund.
