it works well for measuring and marking tools

no pins to insert into the material, but it is recommended that the objects to be measured are at least ¾ inch deep. Wood I measured (within about 5%).

Pros
  • measuring and marking tools
Cons
  • low maintainability

Pros
  • Moisture Meter
Cons
  • Expensive
