Answer This Question

A:  Be sure to hold the unit still, and allow the unit about 15 seconds to settle on a reading. If the Low and High readings are the same still, your unit may be defective. Contact us at 212-431-6100 ext. 6 or email techsupport@generaltools.com.

                Q:New hardwood floor boards and your existing subfloor need to have between 6% and 12% moisture and both readings shouldn't vary by more than 4% of each other. This inexpensive meter appears to be just what I need for the job, but can anyone confirm? My flooring guide talks about "species specific" meter readings and changing settings depending on the species of wood. Does this meter have different settings for different materials? The new floor is 3/4 solid Acacia. I'd test these boards from the bottom and sides to conceal the pin holes... how deep does the pin have to go into the wood?

                  A:  Buying a cord of wood only to have it delivered and realize it works better putting out a fire then sustaining one sucks. Most species should be under 20% MC in the center of a log.
