What is best for testing moisture content of wood, a two pin or a
four pin tester?


How about no pins...

Good grief! That's $300 for a hobbyist grade moisture meter.

No wonder the Brits are so pale ... they're being bled to death!

It seems especially expensive because of the weakness of the dollar.

Even at a 1:1 ratio, it would still be expensive for hobbyist use. I'm
not going to get into a transatlantic whizzing contest, but simply note
that I got mine (2 pin hobbyist grade) for about $40 .. not even 20
pounds. The only obvious lack is that it doesn't shut itself off.

If those on the far side of the pond think that ~150 pounds is an okay
price to pay for a hobbyist grade moisture meter, then, by all means, be
my guest.
