    1. No. That would be the 'Wood Moisture Meter for Humans'. Completely different product.

    2. I have the cheaper model and yes it works on humans. I know this from experience. It does hurt a bit though

  2. I have an older one of those. It's utterly necessary when you dry planks you've just milled out of a log and you need to check how your drying stack is performing. The rate of drying has to be controlled. Basically, this is what they are for. Not many people need one.

  3. Do lots of demo from water damage, they're a must. We use a FLIR MD-176 that also is an infrared camera.

  5. Imagine that, a wood tester for wood. Who'da thunk it.

  6. I live in S.A and you can't find dry wood as they cut and sell it right away. I had a carpenter install cedar trim around my windows and within 4 months it had all twisted and fallen off.
    One of these would have been invaluable.

  7. I worked one summer for the Weyehauser Fire Technology group doing test burns of sectorwood. It was important to know the samples were all of the same dryness/moisture content so the data meant something. All the samples had been stored in a humidity controlled storage for months before I showed up.
