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

After the Hurricane used to check moisture in the walls. Worked great. Let all our neighbors use it too.

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!

Buy these if youre looking at houses to buy, save yourself headache down the road!

Great tool!

User friendly and accurate.

As advertised

I bought this to measure the moisture content of wood, specifically hardwood. So, every time I use it, I turn it on, then hit the mode button a few times to get to hardwood, then I can measure what I want. (Unless I forget, in which case I usually notice that the number is very different from what I expected.)

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

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.

This is the easiest to use and self explanatory. Seems to be very accurate. I dont build anything without checking the moisture in the materials that Im using. And this has saved me from making a bad product for customers.
