Trey,

Mind if I ask how much you paid for the BD-2100?

Thanks,

Re: Moisture Meter

I believe it was in the $350-$400 range, i'm not totally sure, it's been a few years since we bought it.

Re: Moisture Meter

There is a completely respectable moisture meter for sale at my local paint store for $40.00.

I don't think it is necessary for a painter to buy a $400 moister meter. All you need it for is wood siding and concrete right?

I will post the name and brand after I run down to get some supplies.

Re: Moisture Meter

Please do, I'm looking for one as well. Not only for wood siding, but for decks and fences we refinish as well...have you tried out that $40 deal? Does it give accurate enough readings to be worth it? At that price I'll buy three!

I called them up and found out the name.

>here< it is. It has a 5% margin of error but for $40 I don't think you can go wrong.
