Contact probes are on a 3-foot coiled cable for detecting moisture in hard to reach spots. The 10-point scale corresponds to moisture levels from 10 to 28%. Scale and reference chart correlate relative and moisture percentage readings. Requires one 9-volt battery (not included). Instruction sheet included Great for inspectors, contactors, and homeowners Find out if potentially damaging excess moisture is present Test hard or soft wood, concrete, plaster, carpet, and more to determine the extent of moisture problems. Locate and trace roof leaks and water seepage; assess the extent of wet rot and hidden condensation. Use it to check surfaces before painting, wallpapering, or laying floors or tile. Helps you to select drier lumber. Contact probes are on a 3-foot coiled cable for testing in hard to reach spots.

Summary: A Good Cheap Moisture detector
Comment: I own a water damage restoration business [...] and we keep these units around for stand by units. They are accurate but not very sturdy. At this price you can break 10 of them and its still cheaper than the "other leading brand"

Summary: bang for the buck
Comment: I'm a paint contractor so it's important to know and be able to show the customer surfaces are dry enough to paint. I've been using a moisture meter I paid around $100 for ten years ago. This meter is at least as accurate. For my purposes it does the job and $25 is a great price. I don't know how durable it is but for occasional use it feels rugged enough.

Summary: Fair functionality, Disposable quality..
Comment: My device came from Amazon with a faulty probe connector, but I noticed the problem 2 months too late (after just a couple uses, but after taking readings with the device). Hopefully Sonin RMA can just send me a new probe cable as I used a continuity tester to diagnose the problem. Their performance remains to be seen..
As a test I would hold the probe against conduit or metal ducting to make sure it is reading properly (needle @ 10, pegged to right), then move the probe connector to be sure that the connection is not intermittent. Also don't leave it on, or put it in a box where it can get turned on, it will chew through a 9V battery in a couple days no problem. A disapointment, even at this price...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not accurate at all
Comment: Basically it works, however, it's not very useful, b/c it's not accurate at all! I use it to detect the wall with moisture in my basement, got nothing (means dry, <10%), but the inspector detected it 20-30% (don't know which moisture meter he used). And also I put two legs into water directly, only got 25%-28%, which is not true, it should be >>28%, I would not recommend it for any serious use.

Summary: Very Handy tool to have
Comment: I needed to know how much moisture was in my logs on my house.I did not want to spend alot of money and I found this little gadget. It works great.
