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

I bought this after a water leak and it works great. Very easy to use. Klein is a good company that I trust so that helps

The battery it came with was bad. The meter turned off as soon as I let go of the power button. Swapped batteries and its working fine now.

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.)

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 use this to test wood from the wood pile before using in our wood stove. I dont know about accuracy, but relatively Im sure its accurate. A heavy piece certainly shows high moisture content. Very light ones measure what I would expect. So Im guessing its accurate. But what is great is how easy it is to use. Just slide it over the end of a cut log and you can very quickly see the moisture distribution. If there is still a we spot at the center for instance, it shows up right away. Those I put next to the stove to dry for a day or two before I use them. This is really the best answer IMO for my use case. A probe meter may be more accurate, but I need quick reading across the wood. Probe meters dont do that. This does. Ive dropped it a few times, still ticking. Highly recommended. Would buy again.

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

We recently had a water intrusion in our house. We hired the pros to come in and do the dryout. Im sure this isnt the same grade tool they use. Theirs probably has some certification or something to justify the $800 or whatever price they pay for it. I dont care if this is off by a few percent or something... it told me the same spots were wet, which is what I care about. I cant tell you how accurate the numbers are, but this thing works. I just press it against what I think is a dry area to establish a baseline, then look for moisture. We are staying at my mother in laws, and there was a leak under a cabinet, and I was able to use it to test for moisture before putting things back. Very handy. I read another review where someone used it to test if their laundry is dry. Im going to try that next.

Bought this tool after the Texas Winter Storm in Feb 2021 that caused a burst pipe and flooding in the storage room below. With most plumbers booked until mid May, this tool helped me figure out which part of drywall was wet. Then I removed the drywall and used it to check the stud bays and sheathing. Sometimes on the surface, the material feels dry, but this device is able to distinguish the ones with higher %MC. Would highly recommend for DIYer or anyone trying to check for a leak behind walls. The battery isnt too great and lasted for about 4 hours of total usage (10 mins of checking per day over 3 weeks). IDK what the right expectation should be though

This unit helped me check several rooms in a new construction build for moisture. It took less than 15 minutes to do 4 rooms and the unit confirmed high moisture levels in one area I had suspected of water damage. Nice unit.

Works fine
