Pinless Moisture Meter for Drywall, Masonry and Wood with 3/4-Inch Detection – Klein Tools ET140
A pinless moisture meter checks relative moisture in building materials without puncturing the surface. Klein Tools ET140 uses electromagnetic-field sensing to detect conditions up to three-quarters of an inch deep in drywall, masonry, hardwood and softwood.
A reverse-contrast display and nine-segment LED bar graph make the moisture range easier to judge during leak, flood and building inspections. Hold, low-battery and automatic shutoff functions support practical field use, with meter-only and home-inspector-kit configurations listed.
