The General Tools MMD4E Pin-Style Digital Moisture Meter provides accurate moisture level reading to detect leaks, dampness and moisture in wood, walls, ceiling, carpet and firewood. It is an essential tool for assessing water damage and remediation efforts after flooding from storms, hurricanes, roof leaks or broken pipes to discover hidden water damage in floors, walls and under carpets. By checking suspicious water stains with a moisture tester around the house, you can determine whether the area is wet (a perfect breeding ground for mold) or has long since dried. This water leak detector also is helpful for new home inspections and home restorations, locating roof leaks or simply to ensure firewood is ready to burn. It also ensures the appropriate level of surface dryness before painting, sealing or treating wood or drywall. The moisture meter is easy to use: simply stick the stainless steel pins into the surface of what you are measuring in order to get a read-out. Overall measurement range of 5 to 50% for wood and 1.5 to 33% for building materials. The backlit, large, easy-to-read digits and clearly-designed LED alerts tell you immediately if the moisture content is high, medium or low. Plus, the moisture meter has audible high, medium, low alerts so you will be able to hear the level even if you are in a dark or awkward space where you can’t see the screen. The sturdy, ergonomic shape and rubber side grips allow for comfort even when using for multiple measurements. Every moisture meter also feature a hold function to freeze a reading to read later, auto power off and a low battery indicator. Every package includes extra 0.3 in. (8mm) stainless steel pins, a protective cap that doubles as a calibration checker and a “9V” battery.

User questions & answers

Question:	made in USA
Answer:	Nathan, Thanks for the question. The Moisture Range on this Hand Held meter for CORN is 10 - 40%. However, the clear plastic funnel which is provided to assist with consistent filling of the test cell, will not work well on corn over say 25 - 30%. This is due to the lack of flowability in the higher moisture content. I would suggest that you still fill the funnel, but pour the sample back out the large end at just 1 - 2" above the test cell. EVERY TIME and at the same Rate. With this consistency, you would have much greater repeatability between different tests. I would also suggest using the feature to average three readings to allow for some fill variation. Hope that this has help with the operation of the meter. Tom Runyon Seedburo Equipment Co.
Question:	I have a wooden floor that is swelling little bit. I know I had a small water leak. Can this tool help me to check if there is moisture underneath
Answer:	Not on the standard instrument, but YES, Long Grain and Medium Grain Rough Rice have recently been added to the available Calibration list. These would need to be substituted on the list, for example, Oats and Milo could come off and we add in the Long Grain & Medium Grain Rough Rice. Just let us know at the time you place your order and we will make this substitution free of charge. Seedburo Equipment Co.
Question:	Can I use this product to rule out a plumbing leak under my concrete bathroom floor. The outer bathroom wall is concrete & paint is bubbling
Answer:	Es el mismo equipo, la unica diferencia es que el GACMINI2500 es mas preciso.
Question:	accuracy
Answer:	Thank you for your question. No, the GACMINI testers do not test frozen grains, only the GAC2500UGMA or GAC2500AGRI have the capability of reading this much lower temperature and compensating for this in the calibration. You can view a list of the available calibrations for the MINI testers at the following website: http://cal.dickey-john.com/calibrations.aspx Please let us know if you have any other questions - Kathy at Seedburo Equipment Company

User questions & answers

Question:	What size holes can you debur with this tool
Answer:	The bar, from the pivot point to the extremity is 150 mm long, 15 mm wide and about 1.5 mm thick made of stainless steel The angle measuring plate measures 90mm by 52mm.
Question:	where's it made
Answer:	First question answer is yes, I checked mine at 90 degrees and 45 degrees. Second question answer yes, I have drawn two lines parallel using each side of the protractor arm. The markings run left to right to left and left to right on two levels. Trust this explanation has answered your questions.
Question:	Where can I locate a replacement blade? The product has worked well so far but I'm on the second blade supplied
Answer:	The square head will lay flat on a table surface, the square head measure read plate is 1.22mm or 3/64'' thick thus leaving the measure indicating arm that much above the surface.Hope this answers the question and is helpful. Oscar
Question:	How many blades come in the 482A replacement blade order
Answer:	I use these what I call automatic started punch's as a starter to follow up with a true center punch or or what is called a prick punch. I find after I scribe my location where I want to drill my hole dragging this across my scribed line I can find the center easily. Then by pushing down I can leave a mark to follow up with a prick punch and also drift it more to center if I am off a little with that punch. My experience my next step is to use a combination countersink center drill the reason behind this on thin sheet metal you don't get the screwing action that a regular twist drill imparts . On your uni-bit its best to start with a minimum drill diameter of at least 1/4 inch then follow up with your uni-bit. If you look at your uni-bii that is why the flute runs straight so you don't get that screwing reaction when you break thru the surface. John , 49 years as a Millright at G.M
Question:	Is this product made in the USA
Answer:	Won't work
Question:	What is the width of the caliper at the tip
Answer:	If you wish to break plate use a hammer, this will work on tempered glass if any thickness
Question:	what's the best way to store the divider, fully closed or fully wide open
Answer:	I dont understand the question,this is a center punch,not a take off tool.I used mine once,and the tip broke off.It was a piece of junk,so I don't know.If the bike bolts are rusted,or welded,on it seems like to me you are going to have to cut em off.
Question:	looks identical to the Shinwa protractor, is it the same one with a different name or a cheaper knockoff
Answer:	Our compression waterproof socks have 4 sizes : X-Small, Small, Medium, Large. You can choose your size according to the size chart.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the bar
Answer:	I've not spent a lot of time smelling the inside of my socks, but so far, so good. However, I wore them only intermittantly over a week or so, and tried my best to allow them to totally dry out between wearings. I was not always successful with this, but did not notice an odor. I did wash them by hand when I got home and allowed them to totally dry and I've noticed no odor.
Question:	Are the edges of the protractor rectangular plate with the graduation truly square?. Can you use any edge adding 90 degrees when using the sides
Answer:	Hello, I think the small one would suit you best.
Question:	Will this lay flat on a table, even with the wing nut
Answer:	I did find that there was some leakage the longer I was in the water. However, I was using these in a lake and spent a fair amount of time with my feet in the water.
Question:	Would this work well to get a starter dimple for unibit/step bit when going thru metal studs or panel boxes
Answer:	I did not find that my feet were 100% dry when I wore these socks, but I was wading in water and there was also some leakage around the ankle. However, I was pretty impressed with how little water did make it through the material.
Question:	Anyone use one of these to extract broken bolts? Is it strong enough to get a punch for a bit? Looking to remove a bolt inside my engine block
Answer:	I would get a medium
Question:	Has anyone tried breaking a 1/4" glass plate with this? Did it work
Answer:	My socks didn't shrink. They are not the most fitted sock but I don't feel that my feet slide around in them.
Question:	Do i need any machine to use this or take off the bike bolts
Answer:	The socks do not show where they are made. I tossed the packaging a year ago so I'm not sure if it was listed on that. They do work great for kayaking in cold weather

User questions & answers

Question:	can i use it on the left side on my bench grinder
Answer:	si, tiene un adaptador
Question:	Can this be used with a belt sander
Answer:	I wouldnt suggest it. The attachment is probably too large to fit and i dont think the dremel would provide enough power. I used a Ryobi 19.2V Power drill and it needed full power and speed to polish well.
Question:	will this sharpen drill bits with a hex attached, similar to the Milwaukee Shockwave
Answer:	YES HOOK AND LOOP
Question:	What size drill bits can it sharpen up to
Answer:	The most effective/compatible products for the sponge pads are: Swirl n Scratch Remover, Polishing Compound, Rubbing Compound. If you are a total cheapskate, toothpaste in a pinch. For the buffers, it's basically car wax, but really AFTER you have taken off most of the dried wax (and surface dirt) with shop towels. For a mirror finish, don't skip any steps...hand wash your car well, use any car clay kit to lift off surface particles & contaminants from your old wax and clear coat. Then, apply compound sparingly around the sponge (5-6 dots) and use light, even pressure to "cut" the top layer of topcoat. Do even rows, steady light pressure and one panel at a time...keep the tool moving...the point is to micro-abrade...just smooth the surface of clear coat, not take it all off! Done properly, that sponge step should remove most scratches and surface dullness, even on headlights. Rinse or wipe the compound residue off. Then, apply a good paste wax or liquid wax, let it dry, then remove with shop towels, etc. Only then do you whip out the buffer pads and polish it up to a jewel finish. Apply sunglasses! You can hand wash these pads in DAWN...with care, they last a few applications.
