This pinless meter scans up to 3/4 inch below the surface without poking holes in your drywall, which was exactly what I needed to track down a slow leak without causing more damage in the process. Setup took maybe two minutes — power it on, select your material type, and start scanning. The readings were consistent and repeatable, which gave me real confidence I was getting accurate data rather than random numbers. I was able to map out the moisture boundary around the affected area and confirm when it had fully dried after repairs, which was incredibly useful. At $49.97, this feels like a genuinely fair price for a Klein Tools product. The build quality is solid, the interface is straightforward, and it performed reliably every time. Whether you're a homeowner doing preventive checks or dealing with active water damage, this meter earns its place in the toolkit. No complaints whatsoever. ## Features - WATER LEAK DETECTOR detects moisture content from leaks and flooding - PINLESS MOISTURE METER measures moisture content in building materials - NONDESRUCTIVE DETECTION up to 3/4-Inch deep using Electromagnetic field (EMF) technology - USE ON DRYWALL, MASONRY, HARDWOOD, AND SOFTWOOD; calibrated for these materials only - REVERSE-CONTRAST DISPLAY for easy viewing of reading and nine LED bars to indicate moisture range.FULL FEATURE TOOL includes hold, low battery, and auto-power off functions.COMPLETE MOISTURE METER KIT includes meter with 2m drop protection, 9V battery, and instruction manual ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SZX8QXH | | Battery Description | 9V alkaline battery | | Battery description | 9V alkaline battery | | Best Sellers Rank | #29,743 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #24 in Moisture Meters | | Brand | KLEIN TOOLS | | Brand Name | KLEIN TOOLS | | Color | Orange | | Colour | Orange | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 5,931 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00092644692734 | | Included Components | 1 x 9V Battery and Instruction Manual | | Item Dimensions W x H | 6.4W x 2.5H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Klein Tools Pinless Moisture Meter ET140 | | Manufacturer | Klein Tools | | Model | ET140 | | Mounting Type | Freestanding | | Mounting type | Freestanding | | Operating Humidity | 30-70% relative humidity | | Operating humidity | 30-70% relative humidity | | Part Number | ET140 | | Product dimensions | 6.4W x 2.5H centimeters | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Temperature Accuracy | 1.5 | | Temperature Reading Accuracy | plus_minus_1_point_5_degrees_celsius | | UPC | 092644692734 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Range | 40 Degrees Celsius | | Voltage | 9 Volts | ## Product Details - **Battery description:** 9V alkaline battery - **Brand:** KLEIN TOOLS - **Colour:** Orange - **Mounting type:** Freestanding - **Product dimensions:** 6.4W x 2.5H centimeters ## Images ![Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter for Non-Destructive Moisture Detection in Drywall, Wood, and Masonry; Detects up to 3/4-Inch Below Surface - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5175CMtXLlL.jpg) ![Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter for Non-Destructive Moisture Detection in Drywall, Wood, and Masonry; Detects up to 3/4-Inch Below Surface - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ebPVNj+GL.jpg) ![Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter for Non-Destructive Moisture Detection in Drywall, Wood, and Masonry; Detects up to 3/4-Inch Below Surface - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615ZWJ41CjL.jpg) ![Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter for Non-Destructive Moisture Detection in Drywall, Wood, and Masonry; Detects up to 3/4-Inch Below Surface - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616hFKOPIKL.jpg) ![Klein Tools ET140 Pinless Moisture Meter for Non-Destructive Moisture Detection in Drywall, Wood, and Masonry; Detects up to 3/4-Inch Below Surface - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YLL6BgWRL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this an authentic Klein Tools product?** A: Yep **Q: Is there a way to set measurement depth?** A: There is not a way to change this **Q: I'm having trouble finding the locaton of a water leak in my car.
