Handheld electronic gas leak detector
Hi, I was wondering if anyone on the forum has used the Techamor Y201 gas leak detector? If so, what was your experience with it? If not, what units have you tried and recommend? Thanks!

Works GREAT! Sensitivity can be constantly adjusted in order to home in on the leak. As I get closer, I turn down the sensitivity. It also alerts on hydrogen gas from my wet cell batteries.
I think it's well worth the $50. Not always easy to soap a leak, but is easy to sniff one.
To test it, I breathe on it. The methane from my gut will cause it to click. Of course, if I gotta fart, that'll work too! Ha! For fun, set it up, place under the sheets on DW's side of the bed and wait for it to go off. Busted! I've played around with mine so much, my dogs run when they see me with it out.
