Key Features

Fast measurement: Check moisture content of wood through pin-type-based detection technology as an orientation for the user; easy to push the pins into the wood
Use with different wood types: More precise results due to the possibility of selecting between two different wood groups; available sticker with some examples for each wood group in 12 languages can be attached to the tool
Convenient and simple use: Interpret the measurement results via the traffic light LED for the current measurement: red light – not recommended to use, yellow – of concern, and green – ready to use
Easy handling with 2 buttons: Wood selection button for selecting the wood group, measurement button to turn the tool on/off and save the current measurement on the display
Wide range of applications: Befor burning firewood, installing parquet flooring, furniture construction, for mould prevention, and many more

The Bosch UniversalHumid is a handheld wood-moisture meter designed to measure the moisture content of wood using a pin-type method. It’s intended for tasks such as checking firewood, evaluating wood before using it for construction or finishing (parquet, furniture, building), preventing mold or deformation, or generally determining whether wood is suitably dry for use.

Key Considerations

1

Moisture-measurement method: Pin-type (conductivity) — requires inserting two metal pins into the wood.

2

Wood-type selection: Two selectable wood-groups (to calibrate for different species/types) to improve accuracy.

3

Measurement range & accuracy: Wide measurement ranges — approx. 7.1% to 74.7% (Group A) or 6.4% to 61.9% (Group B). Accuracy ± 1%.

4

Ease of use & feedback: Simple operation: stick pins in wood → read the value; the meter includes a LED “traffic-light” style indicator to quickly show dry/OK/wet status.

1

Because the UniversalHumid uses two metal probe pins inserted into the wood, the reading reflects actual internal moisture content where the pins contact. This method is generally more reliable than surface-only (visual) checks, especially when evaluating firewood, lumber, or wood for furniture or flooring. It’s useful for final moisture-checks before woodworking, painting, or burning.

These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.

works well for my projects, is a necessity in milling rough lumber to furniture build. my wood boiler needs 20% and less moisture for a clean burn and a clean flue liner.
