Pin vs Pinless Wood Moisture Meter – Which Moisture Meter is Best

Choosing a wood moisture meter usually comes down to one question: pin or pinless. This video breaks down how the two differ and where each one makes sense.

The Orion^® 950 reads at two depths, 1/4″ and 3/4″, calculates equilibrium moisture content from its built-in temperature and humidity sensor, and recalibrates on site with the On-Demand Calibrator. It reads moisture content from 4% to 32%, covers a 0.20 to 1.0 specific gravity range, and sends readings to the FloorSmart™ or Woodshop MC™ apps over Bluetooth^®. It carries a 7-year warranty.

Whether you work in wood professionally or build on weekends, the comparison should help you pick the meter that fits your work.
