General Tools & Instruments MMD950 Moisture Meter

Dual-mode moisture meter for building trades

The General Tools MMD950 combines pin-type and pinless measurement in one handheld instrument. It reads wood moisture content by weight and gives relative readings through surfaces up to four inches deep. A 46-inch remote probe extends reach into cavities and behind finished walls.

Replaces single-function testers and guesswork

Switching between %WME pin mode and REL pinless mode eliminates the need for separate meters on a job site. The jump is worth it when you must verify sub-floor dryness, trace leaks behind tile, or confirm lumber readiness without switching tools. Auto power-off at three, five or ten minutes preserves the 9V battery during long inspections.

Suits contractors, woodworkers

The tri-colour LED bar graph and audible alarm give instant wet-dry feedback for mould prevention. Buyers who need laboratory-grade gravimetric data or continuous data-logging should look at something else. The protective cover doubles as a calibration checker and stores spare pins for field convenience.
