HQRP 2-Pin JT-2G Moisture Analizer Gauge Tester Wood / Drywall and Home Inspection Tool plus HQRP Coaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This meter is terrible. First, listen to some quotes from the tiny 4 page "manual".
"Thank you for purchase our Products. Please read this manual first before use it. It will tell you how to use it and simply inspect it so as to exert the ruggedization and durable of it's merit..."
Seriously, I'm not making this up! By the way, the poor grammar is not mine! I'm typing this stuff word for word.
Now listen to #6 on the "Notes" page;
"It has a large impact on wood moisture in some conditions, such as Special wood, different temperature, the wood growing up in different place. The simple moisture meter is just based on one kind of wood, and it has not the correction function on Special wood, different temperature, the wood growing up in different place. So the different meter will have the different measuring value."
Now tell me, WHAT????
So when I tell you that the meter gives me a different reading from one side of a piece of split wood to the other, it seems that from the above statement it's not the meter's fault.
I mean how do I know if I have "Special wood"? Or if my wood "grow up in different place"?
Sorry, this meter, as well as it's useless manual, was a waste of my money.
And none of the "simple moisture meter is just based on one kind of wood" talk can be found on the page you view when you order the product.
My unit has the word REMODIFICATION! on the serial number label. I didn't see that on the order page either.
Buy a better meter than this. And I would recommend one made in the good ole USA!

General Tools MMD5NP Non-Invasive Moisture Meter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was excited to receive this moisture meter, as I had a set of resawn walnut boards to check for uneven moisture content on the inside and outside faces. My excitement turned to mild concern when I started to read the instructions: "Press either button to active the sensor". OK, I can roll with that, I guess, although a later item, "Buzzer sounds when the reading changes every increasing digit" left me somewhat bemused. Funnily enough, the instructions also included a disclaimer: "Notice: we are not responsible for typographical errors". Um, OK, then who is responsible?
Anyway, I "actived" the sensor, pressed it as described to one of my boards and...got a reading of 59.9% (the maximum). "Hmm", I thought, "those boards have been drying for two years - that can't be right." So, I tried a piece of beech, nice and dry when I bought it, that's been in my shop for a year or so, planed mirror smooth and thus eliminating the chance that a rough surface could be the problem, and got a reading of 8.0%. "That's more like it!", I thought, "Maybe my first attempt was a just a fluke." Then I re-measured the beech that had given me a believable reading. This time, I got 14%. Another attempt netted me 29%, then 7.4%. So, I tried a few other pieces of wood, with similarly wildly varying results. Fooling around with the unit, I found that pressing more on one corner or the other would cause huge swings in the reported measurement. When I held it in my left hand, I got a different result than when I held it in my right hand. Five minutes later, it was back in its box and on its way to the Amazon returns department.
Maybe this was just a defective unit. Who knows?
