The meter is easy to use and the small dimensions always with you. The values are a good guide for the moisture of firewood. Should always be measured perpendicular to the growth rings, so that the annual rings go with the measurement. My fear that the metal pins to bend or break during use (the tips are molded in plastic) has not been confirmed. Advantages of the device: - Small and portable - Easy to handle - Robust - Batteries are The only drawbacks of the device: - No manual - Can not be turned off by a switch to protect the button cells. The batteries last for now but already about three months for occasional use.
Addendum: After 4 years, is still the original batteries in use. When not in use, I have broken the link with a small piece of cardboard between the batteries. 4 star rating raised to 5 star. I'm very satisfied with the device.
