📏 General Tools MMD4E: Highly Accurate Moisture Meter with High, Medium, Low Measurements Review

I was just looking for a cheaper moisture tester for my wood shop as I needed to check the moisture content of some boards I sawed about a year ago and let me tell you it exceeded my expectations. I compared it to my grandfather costing over $80 and always within 0.1% of his meter. Even though it's a cheaper device it will get the job done and work flawlessly, it's also nice that you get another set of pens with it.

Based on previous reviews here I decided to buy this to test the moisture level of the wood. I have no idea how accurate the measurements are, but they seem consistent, and that's actually more important to me. Some time later, when I learned what he was telling me, I found I could quickly identify what wood was ready to be used in my wood stove. Now when I get things in I use this indicator to put items on my dryer so I already know what's coming next and it's worked well so far.

I found out about these things a few days ago and had to have them. As usual, you can't MISS ANYTHING with General Tools. Great device, easy to use and perfect for my needs. We buy LOTS of firewood and now I don't have to worry about being burned (pardon the pun) by vendors who claim to be selling seasoned wood. You simply remove the lid, stick the probes into the wood, press the button and your moisture percentage is there! An easy to read large display and a bargain price compared to others…

Bought to test drywall at father-in-law's house. The roof of her chimney leaked, damaging the inner plasterboard wall. We called someone to diagnose/fix the leak, but before paying someone to fix the drywall, we wanted to see if the leak was actually fixed. Bought a few days before it started raining for the first time since the repair and of course moisture was again noticed in the damaged area. They returned to check their work. The guy said it was residual moisture from the first leak (2…

As an insurance specialist, I had to rely on vendors to give me moisture readings for water damage. I have now used this meter a number of times to determine moisture levels in wood and drywall and to locate leaks in home applications. I can see how this would help anyone trying to track down a leak or see if the moisture has been removed enough to see if the damage doesn't get any better ie the buckle in the floor would stop falling no more. No matter how dry the parquet floor is. In the…

We had a problem with our wood stove and my wife and I couldn't agree on the cause. At her insistence I have already replaced the refractory bricks, partitions, fire blanket, cleaned the chimney. and still no improvement. She simply refused to believe me when I told her that the firewood she ordered was not aged but green. I ordered that. Stick it in some kiln dried logs and read 10%. stuck in our forest. thirty%! yes green Now if we order some wood, I'll nudge them with it before they throw a…

Failed to load media. I bought this moisture meter to check the humidity in my subfloor. I experimented with several pieces of wood to see what they measured under different conditions. I suppose it's good to do it yourself so you know how to interpret the results versus a known pattern. Dry chunk of 2x4, from my garage - 11.9% chunk of cedar from an outdoor wood pile that has not been recently watered - 12.9 to 14.1% chunk of cedar that has been recently watered - 24 to 26% chunk of cedar…

I purchased this item to use as a tool for identifying mold that I suspected was under my laminate floors. I have had severe allergy symptoms, including severe itching, as well as several other health issues related to mold exposure. I didn't want to spend a fortune hiring a mold removal company just to check for mold as I'm pretty good at doing that myself. I just used this moisture meter to check all the places in my house that might have mold and sure enough I found it under the laminate…
