Is the meter itself water proof in case water got on it or dropped in water?

I have got it wet before but have not semerged it in water. In my opinion this is the best meter you can buy.

It is very well made, has a touch pad front so water couldn't leak in, I love my meter.

No it is not water proof if you drop it in water you will have to buy a new one

Not in the slightest. If you get the connection moist you will have noisy readings.

There is a rubber seal on the charging outlet. I have had no troubles with the device in water.

it has been made water resistant to the best of their ability - rubber sealed and capped - if a device is plugged in, it will most likely loose some of that resistance.Hope this helps

No I don't think so. It can get wet but don't believe the contents are protected.

No, it is not water proof. My device didn't survive the washer/dryer. Have to buy a new one!

I doubt it. But I have to say, mine has been rained on and it lived. (it wasn't immersed in water, but it did get wet.) I would tend to think that since it's an electrical device, it's not particularly water resistant.

If the connection is tight it is suppose to be water proof. Our son has this same one and he does use it in the water.

I wouldnt recommend getting it wet, however it made it through quite a bit of rain with the battery charger hidden. So, yes it is fairly water resistent

I have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

Absolutely no literature came with this meter. The back is open and the circuit board is exposed. But the front looks like it could handle at least SOME rain, especially if mounted at a slope. A little bit of silicone caulk under the top edges of the bezel would help. Are you willing to risk 6 bucks on this one, or add a few more to buy one DESIGNED for outdoor use?

Hi Thomas,It is not water resistant, so better not to use it outdoor. but it is sensor detection. it's a nice one.

I guess you could say it's water resistant. I keep it out of the weather on the dash of my boat. I believe it has a clip that slides on the back to hold the gage tight. Hope it helped.

Yes, when properly installed it has proven to be completely water proof both when providing power to an accessory or when closed and not in use. This is an outstanding product as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know if it is water proof. I'm traveling so cannot take a look; it's at my home and also is tested but not yet installed.

Hi - yes it is water resistant to some degree. I have had it for ~8 months and have had no problems. I've run in the rain with it a few times and I usually rinse it off under the faucet after every (or every other) use. So far, no problems and it's already outlasted the Timex Ironman I had previously. I have not 'submerged' it (i.e. swimming, etc.). Hope this helps!

The probe is submersible up to where the wire meets the metal probe. If that part gets water the probe will die. So be careful, even when cleaning

The sensor for this meter is a ring that takes the place of the spark plug washer. I do not know the size, but it fits a 1976 VW type 1 spark plug, if that helps. I do not believe the meter is waterproof. It works well in my application.
