- Effective Consolidation: Brushless motor delivers up to 12,700 vibrations per minute, paired with a 1 in. vibrator head and 4 ft. whip for footings, slabs and other small- to medium-sized applications.
- Jobsite-Tough Design: IPX4 protection helps safeguard the switch and the battery from splashing concrete, while a balanced design supports comfortable handling during extended use.
PRO Pin-Type Moisture Meter (GMP1-13)
- Precise Moisture Detection: Pin-Type measurement detects moisture across wood, drywall, concrete and other materials, with an automatic self-test designed to help optimize performance and accuracy.
- Preprogrammed Material Settings: Includes settings for 37 types of wood and 10 building materials, while an adjustable threshold scale with color visualization helps simplify result interpretation.
- Jobsite-Ready Durability: Rubber-reinforced housing and an IP65 rating provide dust-tight and water-resistant protection, with flexible power options using included AA batteries or a rechargeable 3.7V Li-Ion battery, sold separately.
PRO Pinless Moisture Meter (GMM1-15)
- Non-Damaging Measurement: Uses electromagnetic field (EMF) technology to detect moisture in wood, drywall, concrete and more without damaging the material.
- Optimized Results: Preprogrammed settings for 37 types of wood and 10 building materials to help optimize measurement for each material type, while reference mode allows users to compare moisture levels across surfaces.
- Jobsite-Ready Design: Features a high-contrast LCD display, rubber-reinforced housing and an IP65 rating for enhanced dust and water protection.
EXPERT 18V Wall/Floor Scanner with Radar (D-TECT18V-200-17C)
- Advanced Detection: Bosch Radar Technology detects wood and steel studs, metals, water-filled plastic pipes and live wires behind drywall, concrete, brick and more, with detection up to 7-1/2 in. deep.
- 3D Imaging + AI Technology: Integrated AI processes radar data to help improve scan results, while 3D imaging provides a detailed view of embedded objects.
- Easy Documentation: Screenshot functionality, internal memory and USB-C/SD card data transfer help professionals capture and analyze findings.
EXPERT True RMS Digital Multimeter (EXDM600-17)
- Versatile Diagnostic Measurements: Measures temperature, microamps, LoZ, voltage up to 600V AC/DC, current, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, diodes and more.
- Jobsite-Ready Durability: IP65-rated, rubber-reinforced housing provides dust and water protection and withstands drops up to 6 ft.
- Easy Operation: Large, high-contrast display, ergonomic grip and integrated kickstand support visibility and hands-free use.
