Cheap and accurate Hygrometer

[Natsok]

HI all, just thought to paste a link for a hygrometer, they run on batteries, but are incredibly accurate 1%, they also store readings for max and min temp and humidity ( great for seeing into the dark and challenging world of cases cars and storage). There incredibly cheap as is the postage, I bought quite a few into the uk, and get 2 shipped at a time without incurring customs/vat etc.

This is the sellers page, In the past when he sold out he gets some more in, and puts them on a month or two latter, worth watching

I have about four of these in my shop. One in my building room, one in the equipment room, one in the spray booth and another where I store my wood. Made by Timex so they're nothing fancy. They are accurate within a couple of points. Good enough for what I want them for. They display time/temp/humidity.

Thank you. I just bought two of them to prove or disprove that my house is humid enough for the ukuleles

I can't wait to see Timbuck's reply to this showing the one he built in his shop from scrap do-dads he had sitting around.

Actually...hygrometers used to be made with human hair. We made some in class with our students and they turned out to be pretty accurate. There are many examples like this one:
