I recently picked up a rapidtest mini PH tester for soil and a rapidtest moisture meter. Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about either product. I'd like to figure out how much faith I can put in them.
Rapidtest Moisture Meters and Ph Testers?

it will give you a generalized reading... They are cheap, but better then nothing..

Should I invest in a better brand or will this suffice.

the moisture meter will be fine, you will phase it out after you get it down. I would put a decent PH pen on the "to get" list. IMO, it is a very important tool in our trade... You can get them fairly cheap too if you look around a bit...

What would be a decent brand. Also what kind of tool do I need to PH test water. Do they make a tool that will PH soil and water.

Like most things, you get what you pay for.
Our (close to), top of the line combo meter at work (pH,EC,PPM), cost right at $750.
That is stupidly expensive, but it also points out what can you expect from a $20 epray special.
The best compromise I've seen is the Milwaukees that are in the $50-$70 range for single function, say just pH, or just EC, or about double that for combo meters.
Do your research and spend wisely, then grow well.
