Review on 🌲 Pin-Type Wood Moisture Meter Detector by Michael Tegan

Tool arrived as described. The box contained a bubble-wrapped tool, two AAA batteries, and instructions. tool inspection; There is no visible indication of what material was used. Checking the outer shell using multiple methods showed that it was plastic. The casting is quite good, with no dents or formations that would indicate a worn stamp. It is smooth on all surfaces inside and out and fits together snugly. The top cover stays secure to protect the tabs hidden underneath, which features multiple rows of indentations to facilitate removal, which takes some effort. The display is edge-lit with LEDs and the brightness of the characters on the screen is easy to see. The instructions are on a folded piece of paper that gets quite large when opened. For one thing, the instruction manual is only in English. I agree because I'm tearing down everything I don't need, namely ¾ manuals/instructions. The other side is divided into two lists; List 1 is the tree species by generic term ie oak and the other is the botanical name and species. This list is important to understand and operate the device. testing and operation; The tool loaded quickly and was ready with no typing or setup. Two modes of operation are available, which are executed by pressing the mode/power button. This changes the images between a "house" or "tree" icon. Testing different environments and the possibility to use the device for more than one application. At the bottom of the screen is a series of letters from A to G that indicate the type of wood being tested. This letter is determined from the list of tested species from the instructions. It was tested on three different samples I had lying around. Live Oak, Walnut Crotch and Ash. Tests at multiple locations showed varying moisture levels, although the Live Oak selection process was difficult. I compared the readings to another test sample that is many times more expensive and found that the readings are almost identical. Another device is easier to use because the choice of wood species is limited, A or B, soft or hard wood. To critique this aspect, one must take a copy of the breeds I primarily work with, which are diverse but manageable, and reduce them to legibility. Font. I don't have a bag or suitcase with me, but I do have an extra camera bag and cheat sheet. The pins are sharp, but there is only one set. Another device has two, one long and one short. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and kept it on my wish list for a while. Very important/
