(had a customer order some, two months later on a service call, he asks how they work and says he has been walking around checking everywhere without finding any leaks despite the smell... I lit one and he exclaims "ooooh!" he didnt light them )

Good one Tycho! But I bet his last longer than yours


Electronic leak detectors seems to find smelly shoes, smelly armpits and even rat urine very attemting.


Or my breath, LOL.
I find the Tif leak detector so far superior to every electronic out there that I insist some of you guys who rely on the Deteks, H10's, etc. spend a few Euros and try one out. You can home in on an HFC leak with much more confidence, and you can follow up with an Accutrak or Amprobe ultrasonic and then confirm with bubbles.

Side by side tests always prove the Tif detector catching leaks that the Tek mates or Inficons don't even register... or home in on the leaks that the other electronics "know" is somewhere but cannot pinpoint. And, no. I do not get a commission.
