The 26-ES is a slide hammer electrode that allows the user to drive the pins into materials easily.

The 496 contact pins that come with the 26-ES penetrate 1 1/8” and have insulated shanks so that only the tips are exposed. The pins make contact only at their uncoated tips and provide much more accurate readings of moisture content at various levels of penetration. This feature is useful for a variety of different applications:

• Bottom plates
• Subfloor
• Hardwood floor
