No accuracy, buttons don't work

The accuracy of the anemometer is terrible. I can't read reliably. Also, using the MIN/MAX function will cause other buttons to stop working. The automatic shutdown doesn't work either. The only way to solve this problem is to remove the battery. unused garbage.

Pros
  • Ergonomic pocket case with large dual LCD display to show temperature and air speed or relative humidity at the same time
Cons
  • Something else

Home Inspector's Swiss Army Knife - Two Pieces

This thing takes most of the required environmental readings. BUT to complete the package you still need to add an IR thermometer as well as a sound level meter. Then it would be the perfect Swiss Army Knife. In general, I dig it. It measures most of what I want with reasonable accuracy.

Pros
  • Hold data to freeze displayed value
Cons
  • Other Other

Pros
  • Character direction on display changes depending on hygro-anemometer or light mode
Cons
  • Crumpled
