Like most electronics to come with cases now the boxes is plastic and not at all relevant to the advanced and wonderful piece of me of electronics that sits inside.Oddly enough the day that I received this, I walked out my front door and smelled gas. Running back in. I opened this up to the cursory read through of instructions and found indeed levels were high. Very high. This was outside mine. I checked on Nextdoor and found that The local Internet company had severe gas line and we were possibly needing to evacuate or some such nonsense.I love it. I had accurate readings on where we were at with the gas versus others. The posters are next-door at best guessing. I was given up the facts.Haters gonna hate and I got called on it. And then I showed them the proof and shut those haters down because I am the gas man. Ewww I don’t like that.It’s a very well-made with high-quality builder material and clearly designed with UI and GUI that is friendly for all users. You’ll love it if you’re looking at this wondering then you’re the type that will love it.

I used tools like this in the fire department. Walking around the house, it stays at zero so you can't really tell. Breathe on it and the 02 (oxygen) level drops and the alarm goes off, showing that at least that sensor works.The menu is a bit clunky. The menu button isn't labeled as menu, it's the power button. There are left and right buttons that are labeled as down (left) and up (right) that are used to select (left button moves the cursor to the right) and change (right button moves the selected value only up). So it's super confusing to change values because the buttons suggest you can use either one to alter the value. Fortunately there's a reset default value option. It's not something you're likely to get without the manual.Once charged, you can leave this on for hours. Useful if you're testing air in a room--maybe there's an issue when the oil burner fires after it's been quiet all night. This is handy because sometimes the conditions change.It measures combustible gasses, so CO (carbon monoxide), which is also poisonous, but very combustable. H2S, Sulfur Hydroxide, which is an additive in natural gas and propane. It's the thing that gives the gas its stink. It also measures 02. At 20% concentration, oxygen is great. at 30%, it'll combust. Also useful to measure other gasses. If you're working with dry ice, for example, the CO2 can deplace oxygen in the room. So while you can't measure innert gasses, you can measure they're effects on the oxygen.Then there's my issue with the descripiton:The description says this measures LEL. That's not a gas. That's Lower Explosive Level. That's what it's actually measuring. For most combustible gasses, there's LEL and UEL: Lower Explosive Level and Upper Explosive Level. Basically these represent the minimum amount of a gas needed before it's explosive and the maximum amount that, when reached, has deplaced so much oxygen that the gas can no longer explode (it's not safe now, just too high).The meter says EX, which is generic explosive gas. Mostly alcohol vapor and similar items. That's what it means when it describes it as reading LEL gas. It should really say EX, because it reads the LEL of all the gasses it detects.Overall, it's a well-built piece of equipment. It has a lifespan of about 2 years--the sensors degrade over time, so after 2 years they start to lose their sensitivity. USB-C charging. A sturdy case.In the Fire Department, we were directed to always turn these on outside in clean air to avoid false readings. That's something to consider when you next smell something funny.

This device detects a wide range of gases, but so far I have only tested carbon monoxide and the reaction to combustible gases, and I can say that this device is beneficial. The CO detection is perfect for indoor workspaces because you can't even notice if carbon monoxide is present, and the device can detect and sound an alarm at minimal concentrations. It can also detect oxygen concentrations in confined spaces. The device can also detect hydrogen sulfide as well as some common combustible gases below the explosive limit, I would recommend that you purchase one and wear it whenever you may come into contact with a detected gas, or when working in a lab or workshop, safety is paramount.

This Gas Leak Detector for Plumbing allows me to quickly and easily detect small leaks in my gas lines that I wouldn't otherwise know about. The sensitivity is spot-on, and it gives instant feedback when it detects even the slightest leak.The design is rugged and portable, perfect for professional use and home projects. It has saved me time and a lot of hassle and the peace of mind it provides is priceless. Highly recommended to anyone who works with gas lines!

I like this sniffer. Works great for mine exploring for detecting low oxygen. Haven’t come across any poison gasses yet but I’m sure it works just as well. Great sniffer especially for the price.

I have industrial experience, but I'm far from an expert on leak detection devices. That said, I tried this device out for propane and natural gas, it detected the presence of both of these gases right away. I may test for the presence of different types of gas commonly found around a home or shop at a later date, but for now I can safely say that this device works and I am happy to have it available for use.

Seems to work well as a backup gauge - I am not sure that I would trust my life to it but as an ancillary monitor it seems to match other gauges for the most part.
