Pros & Cons
Pros
This detector works great. I am a hobby wood worker that needs to know moister content of varying thickness of hardwood and softwood.
It's speed, simplicity and the easy to read screen size. It’s height quality and easy to use. Straightforward to use and straightforward.
Cons
Just turning the meter on produces a 8% reading when the sensor isn't touching anything. Would not scroll through modes or read anything other than zero on the display.
If there is even the slightest moisture on the surface of a board it flashes ol. Came with a nearly depleted battery. This is the second time i get a defective unit.

Competitiveness
I ran the klein meter around the same areas and the moisture meter showed positive in those identical spots
I used this with 2 other moisture meters and it reads around 2 less moisture than 2 other different brands 1 pin one pinless
Should consider adding some percentage as surface moisture likely less than penetrating tong versions
I had borrowed a more expensive german moisture reader to compare it to

I took a 1x2 foot piece of sheet rock and squirted about a third of the paper backing with water not too much just enough to dampen it

After about an hour i ran the meter over the plaster side around the area that i knew was dry and got a reading of 0 moisture no surprise there

The next day i checked the sheet rock with a thermal imager and it indicated dampness around the edges and a couple of fainti assumed damp spots there was absolutely no visible or tactile moisture on either surfaces
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So my conclusion is your sheet rock walls should be around 0 this meter will indicate even the slightest bit of residual moisture
