Dr.meter 2-in-1 Moisture Meter MT1905 Dual Pin & Pinless Wood Detector

Description

Product Overview

The Dr.meter MT1905 is a versatile 2‑in‑1 moisture meter that integrates both pin‑type and pinless scanning in a single handheld device. Designed for woodworkers, contractors, and DIY hobbyists, it measures moisture in wood (0‑5% pinless, 5‑50% pin), building materials (1.5‑33% pin), and offers specialized modes for softwood, hardwood, masonry, and drywall. The green backlit LCD displays readings clearly, while the built‑in ambient temperature sensor (0‑40 °C) helps compensate for environmental factors. Compact dimensions (7.56 x 3.82 x 1.85 in) and a lightweight design (8.47 oz) make it easy to carry on any job site.

Usage

Ideal for assessing moisture in lumber before cutting, checking drywall before painting, and evaluating masonry during restoration, the MT1905 adapts to various environments. Use the pinless mode for quick, non‑destructive scans on finished surfaces, or switch to pin mode for deeper penetration in dense materials. Its over‑range alert warns you when moisture exceeds the device’s limits, preventing inaccurate readings. Perfect for carpenters, remodelers, flooring installers, and hobbyists who need reliable data to avoid warping, cracking, or mold.
