Does the job it's supposed too. I bought this to check moisture levels of tobacco, I roll my own and the new machine I use works best when the moisture level is about 10-11%.

Works OK, except sometimes you have to take two readings. Maybe I need to get used to it - maybe I'm not positioning the pins evenly.
