Non-Invasive Moisture Detection: Protect Your Property from Hidden Water Damage

The Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter is an essential diagnostic tool for homeowners, contractors, and inspectors looking to identify hidden water issues without damaging surfaces. Utilizing advanced Electromagnetic Field (EMF) technology, this meter provides non-destructive moisture detection up to 0.75 inches deep. It is perfectly calibrated for testing drywall, masonry, hardwood, and softwood, making it ideal for pinpointing leaks behind walls, assessing subfloor conditions before flooring installation, or checking lumber for woodworking projects. The intuitive mode button allows you to switch between materials instantly, ensuring accurate relative moisture readings every time.

Engineered for clarity and durability, the ET140 features a high-visibility, reverse-contrast display paired with a nine-segment LED bar graph for quick visual references. An integrated audible alert provides immediate feedback in hard-to-reach areas where the screen might not be visible. Built to handle the rigors of the jobsite, this meter is constructed from rugged ABS plastic and is rated to withstand a 6.6-foot drop. With convenient functions like data hold, auto-power off to conserve battery life, and a low battery indicator, the ET140 is a reliable partner for preventing mold and structural damage caused by undetected moisture.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To get the most accurate baseline, test a "known-dry" section of the same material first. This allows you to understand the normal relative reading for your specific environment so you can easily identify where moisture levels spike, indicating a potential leak or damp spot.
