RYOBI Hygrometer - Pin-Type Moisture Meter for Wood and Building Materials

The RYOBI Hygrometer is a professional-grade pin-type moisture meter designed for accurate moisture detection in wood and building materials. Featuring a digital LCD display with backlight, auto shut-off, and data hold function, this device is essential for carpenters, builders, and DIY enthusiasts. It measures moisture content in wood (5%–50%) and building materials (1.5%–33%) with ±2% accuracy. Powered by a 9V battery (included), it includes a protective cap that doubles as a calibration checker. Durable plastic housing ensures long-lasting use.

Advantages

High accuracy (±2%) with self-calibrating function. Dual measurement modes for wood and building materials. Integrated replaceable electrode pins for easy maintenance.
