  • Reliable and Accurate Moisture Meter
Color: Colors
I've been using the Pinless Moisture Meter for various DIY projects, and it's proven to be an incredibly reliable tool. It has been particularly useful in checking the moisture content of walls and lumber before starting any renovations or building projects. This has helped me avoid potential issues with water damage or mold. What I really like is the non-invasive nature of this meter. It gives accurate readings without damaging the surface, which is great when dealing with finished wood or painted walls. The digital display is clear and easy to read, making it straightforward to use even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy. One thing to note is that the readings can vary slightly if you don't hold it flat against the surface, so it takes a bit of practice to get consistent results. However, once you get the hang of it, it becomes a quick and reliable way to check for moisture. This moisture meter has become an essential part of my toolkit. It’s definitely worth the investment for any DIYer or homeowner looking to prevent water damage and ensure the longevity of their projects. ... show more

  • Works great
Color: Green
This does exactly what I wanted it to to pick up the moisture and to check for leaks. Very user friendly I use it all the time now to give me peace of mind.

  • It's basic. It works. Hard to read in sunlight.
Color: Black_case
The meter seems to do what it's supposed to do and the reviews bear that out. It appears to be fairly accurate, it's easy to use. It's not going to provide the same results as a $600 meter but I don't need that; I only need to know whether and how fast my wood is drying and the dryness compared to other wood in my shop that I know is stable and dry. My deduction of a star is based on the fact that the meter is difficult to read in bright sunlight where some of my wood is stored. The box suggests that the screen can be lit but am unable to find a switch do so. A lit screen would be preferable to the flashlight of which I have no use. My other criticism is the instructions are in gray 2 point type and the buttons printed on the page are blackened out an impossible to read. It wouldn't cost much in paper or ink to make instructions legible. When buying this meter, a magnifying glass would be another good purchase if you don't have one. In short, it works, it's basic, but under some circumstances both the screen and instructions are hard to read. ... show more

  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Color: Colors
This device allowed me to find moisture behind our shower walls, which helped me find mold and the missing piece that was making me ill. This Meter is imperative to have if you are trying to find water in your home behind your walls.

  • Great Little Tool – Accurate, Easy to Use, and Affordable
Color: Green
I originally bought this to measure moisture levels in my Cali Bamboo Mocha Eucalyptus 9/16" solid flooring — and it worked perfectly for that. I’ve also used it to check plywood moisture on an exterior wall from the inside, and to locate a hidden damp spot behind drywall (see attached photos). I liked it so much I bought a second one as a gift for a friend a few months later. The green backlit display is clear and easy to read. A great and inexpensive little tool that gets the job done! ... show more

  • works well and easy to use and the instructions are actually good
Color: Black_case
Easy to follow instructions and use, it works well to sample drywall, but need to be aware of the usual places where there are metal places which will throw a high number on the meter, but beside that it is very accurate. Battery supplied. I would buy this again.

  • Intuitive Design with Accurate Functionality
Color: Colors
Easy to use and accurate. Tested right out of box with some hot breathe and watched the reading spike. Was used to check for active leaks in an old home with water ceiling stains. Was easily able to pinpoint the active leaks and ignore old.

  • Well worth the price
