Review: Finally Found a Moisture Meter That Actually Does Its Job - After dealing with a suspicious damp spot near our bathroom wall, I picked up the Klein Tools ET140 and I'm genuinely impressed. 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.
Review: Highly recommend this easy to use moisture meter! - Used this moisture meter before purchasing a boat to check the transom and learned that we shouldn’t make the purchase based on their high asking price for the boat! It was easy to use and showed that the transom of the boat had a high moisture percentage!

A: The meter is designed to test moisture of drywall, wood and masonry.  It takes the reading at 3/4 deep.  I've used on carpet over masonry, but not sure if it would work on carpet over steel.  I'm thinking you will get a false reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful item to have
*by K***B on July 21, 2026*

Seems to work well and readings are reasonable. No, this is not nist-certified but Im not using this for paid professional purposes. I used it to verify that my packages of New wood flooring had acclimated to the house, and that humidity levels of New flooring was within a couple percentage points of the underlayment in the room. The $50 paid for this tool guaranteed that $1000 worth of flooring was ready to install. Get that step wrong and you could have a floor that buckles or shrinks! Money well spent.
