Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter for Non-Destructive Moisture Detection in Drywall, Wood, and Masonry; Detects up to 3/4-Inch Below Surface

The Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter is a great tool that works well in detecting moistures non-destructively. It's very easy to use, quick readings, accurate for drywall and other materials. Moreover, the pinless part is huge with regard to not damaging anything while testing. Light, portable, typical of Klein Tools' quality—this has made home inspections or DIY projects so much smarter; a tool really worth 5 stars!

It is very simple to use. Just turn it on and select the material you are testing. You can select masonry, hardwood, softwood, drywall. Selecting the correct material is important. You can push the hold button to lock a reading incase you are testing an area where you can’t see the display. Screen is large and easy to read and the lights below the screen indicate if moisture reading is high or low based on the material you have the meter set for. It’s a good product in my opinion. Also I had someone test a building for moisture and that is the meter they used and told me they have used for years. That is why I decided to purchase this product. I have several other Klein products and have been happy with all of them.

Purchased this moisture meter for my husband and it has worked very well. Helps fine moisture in dry wall & wood.

Items worked as intended but moisture detector came with a dead 9v battery, so I had to buy another one of those.

Water spots appeared on the bathroom ceiling that sent me into panic mold mode. I scheduled a Home Contractors Company to come out and take a look. Inquiring from the Service guy I learned there's actually a tool for testing moisture levels and in my oh my god it's mold mind I immediately had to have one of my own. I started reading product reviews and Handy Man testing reviews. This Klein model is rated most accurate at a much lower price. Easy to use with clear accurate results. I am so relieved that I myself are now able to detect any moisture causing mold problems before it happens. Most other products can only do this test by puncturing 2 holes in each and every area you want to test. Thankfully I can avoid having to repair drywall by testing throughout the entire house. I am not tech savy at all and can use this as easy as using a thermometer! Compared against the Service Companies testing device it was spot on accurate to a .001 difference in sensitivity. At about the size of a cell phone with large Lcd viewer results screen a simple 3 button user interface and accuracy it's a must have. Thankfully it's made of a thick molded plastic to withstand the multiple times I've dropped it already. I would recommend every Household concerned about mold purchase this product.

I initially purchased a lower cost pin based moisture meter that really didn’t work. This Klein meter worked well and identified my leak area quickly.

Totally worth the money. Home was flooded. Used for my house and many friends to check on dry out progress. Easy to use. Was very accurate and easy to read the results.

This moisture meter works great and is very easy to use and seems to be really accurate.
