For a tool that doesn’t get a lot of use this one can really save the day. I had a vacuum leak on my car and I couldn’t locate it over all the other engine noise. This tool disregarded the other engine noise and alerted once I got close to the source of the leak. It recognizes the frequency noise at the source of the leak.

you get what you pay for. not the best but for the price i believe it is decent

Received it today, and I played around with it. The transmitter works only 50% of the time when I switch it on. The LED power indicator is on but no ultrasonic sound comes out. I have to turn it off and on a few times before it kicks in........Quality control is definitely an issue with this product. If the transmitter is not reliable, then there's no reason to trust the receiver. You get what you pay for, i suppose.

I had an internal leak in a brand new transmission that was allowing oil into the flywheel housing. Soap could not detect it when 5 psi was applied to the transmission housing. I got the tool quickly and started testing. I found a pin hole in the casting of a bearing housing. This was a huge help!

Used for refrigerant/ piping leaks, this device is not sensitive enough.Worthless for what I bought it for.The Accutrak leak detector is worth the $400 extra. Don't waste your time with this toy.

Learned about this item on a Maple Syrup forum. Ever since a local distributor stopped selling a similar united I have been looking for an option. This was recommended on a Maple discussion group. Used today to check for leaks on a vacuum pump area and two releasers. Found a cracked fitting on the vacuum pump. I wish it had a more visual indicator (ramp of lights vs a single light when a good leak is detected). I would recommend it.

I use this leak detector for detecting initial leaks on carbon fiber vacuum bags for resin infusion. It easily detects some of the initial bag leaks making it much easier to get the bags under full vacuum seal. It doesn't detect the smaller pinhole leaks very well as they do not have enough volume of air movement. Overall, this tool has speed up bag time for several of our projects. The cost savings are ridiculous considering the low initial cost.

This reasonably priced device will detect leaks, but in my experience it is not sensitive enough. I tried it on a very slow leak but was not able to get any signal. That leak was easily detected with soapy water, and even a much smaller leak would have been revealed that way. Where this device did work was with much larger leaks. However, those leaks were of a size that one could hear them in a quiet room by putting an ear up close. It is possible that the device would be capable of taking it down another level, but it is not adequate for the very slow leaks where one needs the most help to detect. For the larger leaks, say in a compressed air system, the device offers the benefit of having a directional microphone that can be pointed at a suspect joint or fitting and that is a good capability. It also means that one might need to rotate it all around the joint to not miss the leak. In summary, the low tech soap bubble method is far cheaper and much more sensitive, but this device might be useful for larger leaks in certain applications. It is no match for the more expensive dedicated instruments optimized for HVAC applications.

Can not believe how well this unit works considering the price

If you're buying this ultrasonic leak detector to find a pool leak, save your money. It doesn't work for that purpose.

J'ai voulu tester une fuite d'air sur mon pare-brise et l'appareil ne l'a pas détecté malgré le fait qu'il y a effectivement une fuite.
