Hi. Any advice on moisture meters? Should I spend extra money on the better models, features? Do I need to get a meter with non-invasive measuring in addition to the standard pin test probes? I’m looking at the Protometer mini. Any advice out there?

Hey thanks guys for the suggestions. I’m a little confused. The text description says nothing about invasive or pin type measuring yet the catalog shows accesories including what looks like meter leads. Are these for penetrating drywall, wood etc?

If you're referring to the Tramex Moisture Encounter Plus, the pic does display two leads in the rear pocket but (like it states), this is an accessory only. Those leads do not adapt to the Tramex. I believe they are utilizing a mock case that is meant to be used for other meters also. The leads you are seeing are used on other meters, to get into tight areas, but the Tramex (that I own) does not have that option.
There is a much more expensive Tramex ($1100) The Tramex Concrete Moisture Meter and Relative Humidity Meter Datalogger Item #: M405-3982 that utilizes the Humidity/Temperature probes, but that tool is not worth the investment for a typical HI.
