    Pinless moisture meter at Rockler

    http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=22217

    $70 seems quite reasonable for this, and this model goes for $90 on Amazon and elsewhere. Fine Woodworking recently reviewed such meters, and the cheapest pinless model cost more. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems to work fine.

    The link says it's online only, but these are listed in the local flier at the same price. I got mine in the store.

    That's a pretty nifty meter. Sure is cheaper than a good pin type.

      Says it goes down to 0.0%. Don't know if that is even possible. My HF pin type el-cheapo won't go below 6 to 8 IIRC. Won't give a reading on the stuff that has been in the shop for a few months, so I always have to run outside to find something to measure to be sure it's working. If it works as advertised it's a good deal IMHO.
      Don't ever ask a barber if you need a haircut.

        If half the stuff I purchased worked as advertised, I'd be a much happier guy.
