Good product in Tools & Equipment section

This leak detector works well. The high and low sensitivity ranges make it much easier to detect refrigerant leaks. This requires ordinary type C batteries, so finding special replacement batteries is not a problem.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Expensive

Great product and price

I have had this leak detector for about 5 years. The only reason I had to get a new one was because I lost the last one. Very happy with this product. I'm an HVAC technician and it's definitely worth it. No need to spend hundreds on one.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Little things

works great - you must handle this device with care.

Works great - This unit must be handled with care as it is delicate. I believe if it's a large leak you don't want to get close to avoid damaging the element. I find this unit hard to find when looking for small leaks - use rational and common sense and it will last for years. Well made quality

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Slightly dented

This thing works very well, but there's one extraordinary feature: you can .

The thing works very well, but there is one exception: you can replace the sensor very easily when the sniffer becomes obsolete and loses its ability to detect refrigerant over time. The item is located directly on the back of the device. Includes charger and hard case. Very happy. HVAC technician 21 years

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • There are problems

Very sensitive leak detector

I chose the Inficon TEK-Mate 705-202-G1 as my first refrigerant leak detector in preparation for HVAC/R work. This is the only "real" leak detector I own (the other is a very inexpensive no-name halogen). I've only used it a couple of times so treat this review accordingly. So far I've used it in residential, commercial (fridge) and automotive applications. He is very sensitive, maybe even too sensitive for his own good. Even on a low setting, I had a hard time determining what a very small…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

No alternative

I have been in the HVAC industry for almost 20 years and have spent thousands of dollars on tools as a transmission technician. Buying better tools for the job instead of cheaper imitations has rewarded me with success and also saved me countless hours of time that could have been wasted if I had tried to settle for inferior tools. On the side, I bought a couple of leak detectors. Trying to find the right one can be frustrating as there is no winner based on reviews. The Inficon version has…

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Modern
