Anyone have experience with this meter. Sale $69.99 looks to be a good price point but only if it works.

0% - 99.9%? I sense disappointment in your future.I have a Wagner and a Delmhorst, and neither one can do that. It might be a fine meter (though I doubt it), but at a minimum I don't think the specs are credible.

The range strikes me the same way.

The upper end of the range is pretty much irrelevant.

You'll know.

It'll be raining in your shop ... FROM the wood ;)

If you need a meter to tell you that your wood is at 99% moisture, then you should probably step away from power tools & sharp objects!!!

No sale for me. A 6% band is way to big for any kind of furniture or fine woodworking.
