Has any one used :-

Are they any good?
Got a chance to have one cheap.

@Ajax123 is perhaps your best bet for this.

most electronic moisture enters are erratic at best. Depends how deep they penetrate into the screed/concrete and depends what type of screed. Personally I would only use one as a guidance survey tool. the best kit is a carbide bomb followed by a hair hygrometer. the former is accurate quick but pricey and the latter accurate if used properly but sensitive to incorrect procedure and takes 48 hours but is cheap

Thanks for speedy reply, I am getting to do more and more quotes on newly screened floors, so I was looking to get something which could give me a basic readout, my local tileshop has loaned me one and I can pay for it over time.
