It works

I recently installed a new gas line for my new kitchen range and wanted to make sure there was no leaks. I suspected the detector was a good one if one of the big box home improvement stores (the orange one) had the smaller versions of these in store. This one has the bendable probe which is nice to reach behind and in small spaces. It detected no gas around my fittings. I later tested it with some unlit gas from the stove burner and it went off like crazy. Confirmed it works. It was plenty loud and also beeps faster the stronger the gas is at the sensitivity level.I enjoy also that this came with a nice zipper case and actually came with name brand batteries instead of cheap knockoffs. The price was good also!

Saved my bacon - twice already.

How this product can be manufactured and sold for this price is beyond my comprehension. It is perfect for checking for potential leaks in residential gas appliances. I was smelling a slight odor of gas after a new water heater installation and couldn't trace the source. The meter was immediately able to track it down to a poorly fitted pipe union. In another instance, a faint gas odor around a 50 year old gas boiler was traced to behind the regulator. In both instances, it was impossible to locate the source without using this handy meter. However, you must keep in mind what this meter is intended for. It is not a $2,000 professional combustible gas detector that provides digital readouts in parts per million, has an air pump, and can be safely used in confined spaces. Rather, it is a qualitative tool that allows you to find the source of the leak in an otherwise well vented area. Since it does not have an air pump it must be held in one spot for a period of time on the order of 1/4 minute. The negative reviews for products such as this are typically from people that waive it around like a wand and are disappointed that it doesn't instantaneously pick up the leak. The receptor on these budget detectors without an air pump takes time to sample the immediate environment. Take your time and this unit can, and will, find your leak. IF YOU HAVE A STRONG SMELL OF GAS, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT - RUN AWAY AND CALL THE GAS COMPANY. Save your life and let the professionals deal with the problem. Lives were lost at a local school when it exploded during natural gas plumbing work over the summer recess. Tools like this are for situations where you are confronted with a very faint hint of gas and where you have good ventilation. If in doubt, get out.

A Must Have Safety Product

Great safety product to have in your house. Sometimes I might smell gas and I get concerned if there's a leak. This is a great device to pinpoint the source of a leak. At ~$40, it's much cheaper to get this device than to have the fire department or natural gas utility company make a service call and give you a service charge. I installed a grill to a natural gas line and it was my first time doing it. I tried soapy water on the gas lines but I wanted to be 100% sure that there was no gas leak. I bought this device for peace of mind. I tested by turning on my gas stove for a few seconds and putting the detector near the gas and it worked flawlessly. Highly recommend. I can't comment on the battery life but it worked as expected.

Simple, Helpful, Effective

Very sensitive and effective. Easy to use and intuitive to understand. Helped me discover the gas line to my dryer was loose. I didn't think I was going to need the gooseneck but it was actually extremely helpful for getting behind things.The downside is that it takes a long time to start up and shuts off automatically a little too quickly even if it's actively detecting gas, although you can disable auto-shutoff per power-on. Also note that on power up, it zeros itself to the ambient levels so you need to be careful to start it up somewhere well ventilated or you might miss a leak.

Very Impressive especially for home and shop use.

As a past Hazmat Tech this detector is pretty impressive and easy to use. I tested it out with a cigarette lighter and it hit in a few seconds. I would recommend getting this one with the wand for accessibility for hard to reach places like inside a gas stove. I would also advise getting the one with the batteries in case of an emergency it will always be ready.Definitely would recommend this unit.

Worked Great

Just what I needed. I kept getting hints of gas from my stove, but I couldn't find the source because it was so small. This found the part that was leaking.
