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

So I waited 10 months to give this product a review. I work as a home inspector and I use this device almost everyday. My one and only complaint is how easy this thing powers on while in my tool pouch. I wish there was a way to protect the power button or perhaps a double push of the power button. Other then that I have had zero issues. I like the size of the readings. I photograph moisture readings and the size is great, and shows up well on pictures.

I have done water damage for years, I bought this as a personal back up. It is easy to work but done tons I get different readings I think it depends on the battery level. However it has gotten me through real life situations and I recommend for the competitive price as a back up.

Picked it up to test lumber when I go to the yard. Works well and seems accurate. My only complaint is the battery... toss it and get a better one (9V). It lasted less than 2 weeks, even with almost no use *and* stored outside the meter disconnected.

They made a very easy to use, reliable moisture meter. I am a hobby wood worker that needs to know moister content of varying thickness of hardwood and softwood and this worked great. The user interface is great. This is recommended over the “pin” type meters because it reads deeper and doesn’t make holes in the wood. Just be sure when using thinner boards to not stack them on other boards or materials as this can throw the reading off.

Works very well easy to read as well as use.

Every home owner needs one of these if the had a leak. it will show where the moisture is higher behind sheet rock/wood/vinyl/ laminate/hardwood/even tile if you compare to the dry section first.

This works for what I needed for… I make charcuterie boards so using for my smaller projects

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!

I bought this pin-less moisture meter specifically because it states it can read moisture to a depth of 3/4, and to measure the moisture in my fire wood. Its easy to use, no doubt, but is it accurate? I got suspicious passing the device over some pieces of cut wood and getting iffy readings, so I did a simple test: stick the device on my bare forearm: off the scale as expected; then over my shirt pressing on the forearm (so thats, what, 1/32?) and the reading is on the scale and around 20% moisture. So, yeah, just about useless for fire wood. It might work well for drywall, but given the above results I dont know that I can trust it.

The detector works great for masonry and sheet-rock. Its great that it is non-destructive.
