Review on 🌲 Accurate Pinless Wood Moisture Meter - Intelligent Inductive Tools, Digital & Portable (2-70% RH) by Dave Cavazos

I don't need a professional wood moisture meter, I just need a meter to determine the moisture content of the new picket fences I was going to waterproof and paint. My research has shown that a "pinless" gauge is best, so I went with this one. I haven't used it to measure wood moisture yet, so I can't comment on the instrument's accuracy. The counter is easy to turn on and off. The instruction manual/manual is a small folded piece of paper. To be sure that readings are being obtained, the meter must be calibrated before use. Calibration instructions are inconsistent and do not work. Either the person who wrote the instruction did not understand how it was intended for calibration, or the manufacturer changed the meter and did not update the instruction - in any case, the instruction is wrong. Another issue I've found is also related to the manual/manual and involves setting the type of wood you're trying to measure. You will be given a matrix with the setting number on the left and the wood species for that setting on the right - the 'desired' moisture content is not specified. Assuming your meter is calibrated and you know the wood species, you should also know the desired moisture content of the "dry" wood. It's not that easy to say on the internet. I just think that if you're looking to sell a "moisture meter" you should include a manual listing the target moisture content range, or at least a web link. Without this, the user does not know whether the wood is dry, wet or oversaturated. Otherwise, the meter seems easy to use.
