We recently went through a serious water damage to our home which resulted in serious mold situation. We noticed that even mold remediation used this quality when detecting moisture in the walls and in the floors. When searching for a rental house, this helped us screen out rentals with water/moisture issues. The only tricky part of it is when assessing concrete areas but other than that, it is an excellent tool to have and I think everyone should own one!

Easy to use and understand. Has a new Hold button so you can put the meter under something where you can't see the face of the meter. Push the hold button and the reading doesn't change when you take it off the surface. Push Hold again to release the reading.

I have earlier versions, that I paid twice as much for, and like this one better.

High quality, easy to use, accurate. Made in Ireland. Great tool for any home owner or inspector to root out moisture problems (usually the roof area...) and aid in proper repairs. Very handy and simple to use. I remodel homes and it's proven invaluable in showing home owners where their moisture problems are coming from and visible evidence as to repairs needed. Great for boat (weak transom areas...) and wood inspections as well. If you are a wood worker it's invaluable in grading out pieces of wood to use in your work as well.
