Many of the problems associated with wood and other home construction materials are caused by moisture. The Precision Digital & LED Moisture Meter (MM80G) from General Tools & Instruments—the leading supplier of specialty hand tools and electronic test equipment for the Hardware, Woodworking, Machining, Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC/R industries—can help you detect and measure moisture content, hidden dampness and even water leaks in almost any material.

This sophisticated, highly sensitive electronic tool offers features and capability found on more expensive professional moisture meters, yet its $69.99 suggested retail price makes it very attractive. It is ideal for professionals who require pin-point accuracy when measuring moisture content in lumber, raw wood, timbers, concrete, drywall, plaster and other construction materials. The compact, ergonomic meter is easy to operate, and useful for selecting dry lumber.

The Precision Digital & LED Moisture Meter has an illuminated LCD bar graph display and a large, dual-digital scale that displays the moisture value of the product being tested. The moisture detection ability of the MM80G in wood ranges from zero to 44 percent moisture content, with accuracy of up to two percent plus or minus. For other materials, the moisture detection range is from 0.2 to 2.2 Standard Reference Scale with up to 0.4 percent accuracy.

The MM80G is just one of more than a dozen moisture meter products available from General Tools & Instruments. This instrument line includes specialty meters that provide accurate moisture-content reading for nearly any porous object including wood, paper, pharmaceutical products, furniture, agricultural products, carpets, sub-flooring and soil.

The family of moisture meters can be found on the General Tools & Instruments Web site, www.generaltools.com. The MM80G is available for purchase online.
