## Description

Dr.meter Pinless Moisture Meters, Damp Meter for Walls with Backlit LCD Screen Non-Destructive Damp Meter 4 Mode for Wallboard, Wood, Masonry and Gypsum Boards : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Great piece of kit - Works very well and simple to use. Gives peace of mind that our logs are properly seasoned before we burn them.
Review: Good value and easy to use. - I bought this as I suspected a patch of dampness in the front porch and was attracted by its combination of use on softwood, hardwood, plasterboard and masonry. Once I installed the two included AAA batteries, removed the adhesive screen protector and switched on I found ease of use straightforward. It can be used in both a Scanning mode, whereby the rear of the meter is placed flat on a surface, or in Prod mode with the two metal probes exposed by flipping over a cover on the top and piercing the material you wish to measure. Bear in mind that the probes have to be pushed into the material so they will leave a couple of pinprick holes. Accuracy in Prod mode is plus or minus 2% while in Scanning mode (which measures to a depth of 20mm) is plus or minus 4%. An audible alarm sounds when Scanning reads >17% moisture in wood and 70% in masonry; and Prod reads >17%. I particularly like the Hold function, a button on the front which when pressed locks the reading for viewing and proved helpful when using in an enclosed space. A light, solid meter made in China that comes with a carry case that attaches to a waist belt. It’s backlit display is easy to read. Several YouTube videos of its use are available and it seems to feature in several Top 5 or Top 10 moisture meters. For the price I’ve found it to be good value.

## Features

- 【2-in-1 Moisture Meter】The 2-in-1 Dr.meter moisture meter offers ideal dual functions of pin-type and pinless scanning in one. The pinless scanning mode with non-invasive measurement is ideal for high-end wood and building materials. The pin-type mode with faster response and higher accuracy is great for all kinds of wood and building materials.
- 【Wide Measuring Range】Different measurement modes correspond to different measurement ranges. In the pin-type mode: wood: 5%-50%, building materials: 1.5%-33%, error range: +/-2%; In the pinless scanning mode: wood: 5%-53%, building materials: 0-35%, error range: +/-4%.
- 【Over-range Alert】There are four pinless scanning modes of softwood, hardwood, masonry and drywall. The general algorithm has been written into the user manual to reduce the redundant settings before use to facilitate customers. When the wood moisture exceeds 17% or the wall humidity exceeds 70%, the wood moisture tester will beep to alert you.
- 【Current Ambient Temperature Measurement】The Dr.meter intelligent wood moisture meter can not only measure the humidity of wood and building materials, but also it can measure 0-40 degree current environmental temperature with only +/- 2 degree error.
- 【User-friendly Design】Designed with green backlight display, reading hold on function and measurement signal bar display for more intuitive measurement tips, the digital moisture detector is more user-friendly. A bonus nylon storage bag is provided to store the product conveniently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use for to make comparative measurements
*by K***N on 16 February 2025*

I bought this to check on damp levels in our caravan. It is easy to use, especially in the non-destructive mode without the pins making holes, but is not as accurate as those used for professional caravan servicing - but it is a tiny fraction of the cost and doesn;t need calibrating every day. Respose is very quickand the comparitive results are in line with the professional survey a couple of weeks earlier. Also used on some wood - just for fun and with the prods in use on timber it does look to be quite accurate. The pins are VERY sharp and the little plastic tip covers are easy to lose, but with a tilting cover, they're not completely necessary. For the price, it is a reasonable product
