Review on 🌲 Proster Wood Moisture Meter: Accurate Digital Detector & Pin-Type Leak Tester for Wood, Firewood, Paper, & Floors by Shawn Bass

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Where does the mesquite fall on the counter?

For a budget device it works very well. I have found that the wood you are testing should have a fresh cut. So if you're testing a piece that's been drying for a while, you'll get a fairly dry reading just by inserting the sensor pins. different reading. It's certainly not uncommon, but be aware that exact results depend on how you test. I live in the Southwest and get different types of hardwood and softwood. For example Palo Verde, Pine, Ash, African Sumac, Aspen and Mesquite. I'm never sure what range to set the count for each type to. So I think what I can. For example, if they listed numerous forests in a decent instruction manual, I think this device would get five stars from me.

Pros
  • 4 modes
Cons
