works very well, be sure to keep the documentation so that you understand the levels/readings properly when used. after powering on, must wait for it to calibrate and be ready for use. suggest storing it without batteries. i would buy it again.

This is a handy device for sniffing around propane tanks for any leaks either during transport or after setting up. I use this device to check for leaks when camping as I carry 2 or 3 small cylinders to and from camp. Though you should rely on your own research and advice, in all of my research on small-cylinder propane tank safety it all comes down to keeping the tanks vertical at all times and checking to make sure that the tank or the hoses that are connected are leaking or not. In general, not leaking = safe. Leaking can be caused inadvertently by the tanks being overheated. So that is the first thing, don't let the tanks get overheated. The next thing is that if the tanks or hoses are leaking if they are in an open area and downhill and away from camp fires or people that's safer at least than if the tanks leak uphill from people or a heat source. So keep tanks downhill or down in general. Also, if they leak in an open area instead of a closed area, that's another thing, in an open area it safe. It's not safe in a closed-area so keep outside in a well ventilated area. Finally, even if the air is open if the leak "pools" somewhere, let's say in a dip in the ground, that's not safe. So put tanks where if they leak it would not pool anywhere but instead disperse. After all these steps, check frequently with this little device for that final extra level of protection. I have a continuous monitor near the tanks and then I test using this. Also, test this device frequently by holding up a lighter and pressing the button without igniting it to check that the alarm sounds. Practice using the device ahead of time.

Exactly what I expected. Easy to use carry case was a plus

This is a great way to test propane tank connections and hoses for leaks.

I installed a tankless heater to replace my conventional tank water heater. It required me doing some mods on the natural gas line. I’ve done this before when replacing the original water heater and used soap and my nose. I missed a very small leak and got the odor days later. This install required much more joints to be removed and redone to get the 3/4” pipe needed for the tankless. I tested it by opening an open gas line and it immediately went off. I did the install and used this at every joint. No gas detection (patted myself on the back). The next day, no gas odor detected. My install is in an enclosed area about 16x24. Love this product as it seems much more reliable than the soap-bubble method and it’s priced right.

It needs full battery voltage of 1.5 V to work, it won't even turn on with a fully charged rechargeable battery of around 1.3 V. Another issue is it is hard to read the bar graph unless looking at the display straight on, if it is even at a slight angle which is quite common when moving the probe around, the bars would appear dark and hard to judge if they really light up or just because of reading the display at an angle.

Pinpointed leak I had from line going to furnace.

I bought this because I was installing a new gas range. That went well. Every now and then I thought I smelled gas by my furnace. I used it around the fittings and sure enough, I had a leak! There were two old fittings that were leaking. This tool located the exact fittings. It’s easy to use. Just turn it on, wait for it to beep “ready” and hold next to fittings. I was told I didn’t need it but sure glad I got it.

I have been using it 5 times now with my pop up tent and there was that one time that there was a leak on the oven fitting. It detected it. I spray some soapy water and the leak was really there! It is a must if you are go camping

ottimo con pochi secondi ho trovato la perdita molto consigliabile

Very sensitive and was able to pinpoint a propane leak in my boat. Also picked up a slow refrigerant leak in my boat fridge.

Provato prima sul fornello di casa a fuoco spento e con la fuoriuscita del gas andava subito in allarme, avendo un camper ho controllato le derivazioni dell'impianto del gas ed e' stato utilissimo. Consigliato per chi ha un camper e' una sicurezza in più 👍👍👍

A lot of these look the same.Price will make the chosen purchase.
