Does this not come with a protective cloth bag ?

Yes it comes with a cloth bag and a rubber cover for the pins

Is a protective cover for pins included?

Yes there is a rubber protective cover that fits firmly on the pins. The protective cover has an eye at the top which makes it easy to grip to remove. There is also a soft cloth pouch with a draw string that is large enough to hold the unit and the small instruction booklet that comes with it.

Hi, please could somone tell me if this can be used on concrete?

The settings show wood and brick. Whether brick means concrete I don’t know... probably best going back to manufacturer?

is this suitable for detecting damp in a static caravan

Works fine on our walls in damp house ( plaster and plasterboard ) how accurate it is I don’t know but it seems to work, note it has 3 settings, firewood, brick and temperature ( brick covers plaster and other building materials). Very pleased with mine actually bought it to check firewood
