Review: Trustable. As a home inspector, I use it for several year. Don't even look sowhere else. It worth the cost.
Review: I needed the ME 5 for a job in two days! I got the ME 5 in one day for my job! I do expert witness work and needed the same meter the other side expert was using I had an older version of the Tramex ME, which worked, but I wanted to have the exact meter to help dispute some of the other expert's findings, which I was able to do! It is an easy-to-use and accurate meter that anyone who performs moisture-related inspections needs to have! The Bluetooth feature with the app on your smartphone is a huge benifit!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with the attachment on pic number 4?**
A: No it didn’t.

**Q: Which meter has been determined to be best for roofing?**
A: Hello,

The ME5 will be the best small handheld for this purpose. It has the deepest signal penetration of any meter in this price range and this new model has five different sensitivity settings. 

Next step up is the Tramex Roof and Wall Scanner which uses the same technology but can penetrate up to 4 inches.

This is a very useful tool for comparative readings and diagnostic work. Some one needs to train the drill monkeys to use these.
