Review on πŸ” 7-in-1 Stud Finder Wall Scanner with LCD Display & Sound Warning - Detect Wood Beams, Moisture, Temperature by Andrew Kay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

An essential tool for the homeowner.

KULED Model TM200 Wand Finder Wall Mounted Wand Detector Moisture Meter Temperature Sensing Good bright clear display and bright LED mode indicators. DOES NOT COME with a protective case. The Revain description page contains detailed information and instructions for use. It comes with an easy to understand and informative one page manual in English. Every time you use it or change functions, you have to calibrate it manually. This is easy (short press) and takes about 3 seconds. I found the accuracy and repeatability to be good. He did a good job of locating and locating wall studs and metal channels in the walls. At times I found the Live Wire feature to be too sensitive, it just warned about a large area where nothing was running. The recalibration helped improve accuracy. The temperature function works accurately and the humidity function gives acceptable results. I used the moisture function to sort damp, pressure-treated lumber into dry piles. While wood's weight is a good indicator of its moisture content, the gauge helped identify areas on 10-foot pieces that were wetter in some places than others. The waterproof pins are very sharp and have small rubber caps to close them. I've found that it's easier to remove the case's protective cap if you wiggle the protective cap back and forth from the narrow side rather than the wide front.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
