Dr.meter Pinless Moisture Meters, Damp Meter for Walls with Backlit LCD Screen Non-Destructive Damp Meter 4 Mode for Wallboard, Wood, Masonry and Gypsum Boards

I purchased this solely for checking my wood burner fuel stock, very accurate, simple to read and have found myself making use of its extensive range in checking the damp in a neighbours walls.

I bought this to check on damp levels in our caravan. It is easy to use, especially in the non-destructive mode without the pins making holes, but is not as accurate as those used for professional caravan servicing - but it is a tiny fraction of the cost and doesn;t need calibrating every day. Respose is very quickand the comparitive results are in line with the professional survey a couple of weeks earlier. Also used on some wood - just for fun and with the prods in use on timber it does look to be quite accurate.The pins are VERY sharp and the little plastic tip covers are easy to lose, but with a tilting cover, they're not completely necessary. For the price, it is a reasonable product

used for damp in the walls and works perfectly, have the options of two sensors.

I bought this as I suspected a patch of dampness in the front porch and was attracted by its combination of use on softwood, hardwood, plasterboard and masonry. Once I installed the two included AAA batteries, removed the adhesive screen protector and switched on I found ease of use straightforward.It can be used in both a Scanning mode, whereby the rear of the meter is placed flat on a surface, or in Prod mode with the two metal probes exposed by flipping over a cover on the top and piercing the material you wish to measure. Bear in mind that the probes have to be pushed into the material so they will leave a couple of pinprick holes.Accuracy in Prod mode is plus or minus 2% while in Scanning mode (which measures to a depth of 20mm) is plus or minus 4%. An audible alarm sounds when Scanning reads >17% moisture in wood and 70% in masonry; and Prod reads >17%.I particularly like the Hold function, a button on the front which when pressed locks the reading for viewing and proved helpful when using in an enclosed space.A light, solid meter made in China that comes with a carry case that attaches to a waist belt. It’s backlit display is easy to read. Several YouTube videos of its use are available and it seems to feature in several Top 5 or Top 10 moisture meters. For the price I’ve found it to be good value.

Used for wood only, does the job

Absolutely brilliant. This was invaluable in tracing the source of water ingress in a property which several 'experts' had looked at and weren't able to work out what was going on.Sometimes, when you need to get something done, you've got to do it yourself and this tool with it's rare non-contact sensor enabled me to do that.Brilliant product and incredible price and value for money.

Hand size tool with clear display and logical functions. Contained in its own protective case this is simple to use with clear display.I've nothing to base accuracy against but form a sample wood test it certainly detects variation.

Does exactly what it says on the box. Brilliant piece of kit.
