Proster PST326 2-in-1 Moisture Meter with Pin and Non-Invasive Modes
Product description
Its non-invasive sensor lets you scan a surface for damp areas without making holes, helping you check walls and floors before renovation work. Switch to pin mode when you want to assess moisture in wood or building materials.
Four material settings in non-invasive mode cover softwood, hardwood, plaster and masonry. The colour display shows low, medium and high moisture levels, making readings easier to interpret as you move between surfaces.
An alarm helps trace wet areas, while MAX, MIN and HOLD functions make it easier to compare readings across a room or keep a value on screen. The meter also measures ambient temperature and humidity for broader home checks.
Tips for day-to-day use
Choose the non-invasive setting that matches the surface—softwood, hardwood, plaster or masonry—when scanning without damaging it. The sensor measures to a detection depth of 0 to 20 mm, so it can help locate damp behind a wall or beneath a floor before you start work. Its 36 x 36 mm sensor is designed for surface scanning.
For a closer check, use pin mode on wood or building materials. The two approaches suit different tasks: scan a larger area without marks to find where a wet patch may be, then use the pin mode to check a particular spot. This is useful when investigating a leak or assessing timber before maintenance.
MAX, MIN and HOLD help when readings need to be compared across several locations. The colour display provides a straightforward low, medium or high indication, and the alarm can draw attention to a wet area during a scan. Ambient temperature and humidity readings add context for routine indoor maintenance or firewood storage.

Where it shines
The two modes make the PST326 useful for different stages of a home check. For example, when a wall shows signs of a leak, scan the area without leaving pin marks to trace where moisture may be present. If you need to check a specific point in wood or a building material, switch to the pin mode. The material settings also make it practical to move between timber, plaster and masonry during renovation or inspection work.
Buyers highlight that the meter is easy to use and works as expected, with positive comments also mentioning its quality. That feedback makes its simple display and mode selection especially relevant for regular DIY and home maintenance checks.
When it makes sense
It suits you if you want one meter for both non-invasive surface scanning and pin checks, rather than choosing a tool focused on just one approach. The material settings, alarm and MAX/MIN/HOLD functions are useful when checking several areas or tracking moisture readings as part of a renovation or leak investigation. Ambient temperature and humidity measurements also support everyday indoor checks and firewood storage.
