Review: Necessary and super helpful narrowing down what is inside of your walls. - I purchased this to detect moisture inside of my home. It works great and is a simple tool for even a basic DIYer. The device is easy to read, the brightness of the display is just right...especially in dark places. The price is good, given that Klein is a very reputable brand with quality tools. I was able to scan all of my walls and detected another area of high moisture that I was unaware of....unfortunately! Definitely a useful device to see what is happening on the inside of your walls.
Review: Yes! - Works just as it should!!! Buying a new house and after paying an arm and a leg for an inspector to miss everything, I bought my own tools and find water damage that was missed! Sooo easy to use, very specific when it comes to what you’re testing, the range of moisture, gives results bright and fast. Great tool to have!

A: The meter is designed to test moisture of drywall, wood and masonry.  It takes the reading at 3/4 deep.  I've used on carpet over masonry, but not sure if it would work on carpet over steel.  I'm thinking you will get a false reading.

A: Yes, Masonry
