Bessemeter Launches the PT-83 Pin Moisture Meter: Delivering Professional Accuracy at an Affordable Price

Portland, OR (March 2026) – Bessemeter, a leader in precision wood moisture measurement solutions, has officially launched its new Slide Hammer Probe, an accessory engineered to significantly extend the reach and versatility of the company’s popular PT-83 Pin Moisture Meter. Designed for professionals, inspectors, and serious DIYers alike, the Slide Hammer Probe makes deep moisture assessment in dense hardwoods and thick wood materials faster, more accurate, and more reliable than ever before.

Wood professionals often need to get moisture content readings from deeper within wood materials, especially in environments such as sawmills, manufacturing floors, construction sites, and lumber stock inspections. Bessemeter’s Slide Hammer Probe addresses this need with a rugged, durable design that enables controlled penetration into hard-to-reach wood substrates.

Key Features & Benefits

• Deep Penetration Capability: Engineered to drive insulated pins far beneath the wood’s surface for a more comprehensive moisture profile.
• Insulated Precision Pins: Improves measurement accuracy by focusing on readings at depth, rather than surface moisture alone.
• Slide Hammer Mechanism: Provides clean, controlled insertion with less effort and reduced risk of surface damage.
• Rugged and Reliable Construction: Built with a durable handle, cable, and slide assembly to withstand demanding jobsite and manufacturing environments.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with the Bessemeter PT-83 Pin Moisture Meter, making it an accessible upgrade for existing owners.

The Slide Hammer Probe is available for purchase directly through the Bessemeter website. It can be ordered on its own or bundled with the PT-83 Pin Moisture Meter as a complete kit.
