Detects Flammable Gas Just Fine - Tool Needs Improvement

Detects Flammable Gas Just Fine - Tool Needs Improvement
As others have noted, this takes about half a minute to warm the sensor up when you first turn it on. It’s in the manual, and that’s expected. So it’s not an immediate turn the tool on and get on it. I haven’t run into the issue with the timeout yet, but be aware that the manual states it’s a 10 minute of not being used the unit will turn off - toggling from low to high seems to help others, and if you do that it will stay on.Detects lots of flammable gas just fine. The vent hose from the fuel tank of a motorcycle, detects that vapor. Testing it with a butane lighter, it will go off. Detected a minor leak in a fitting in the gas line in the attic.Buttons are nice and tactile - they are actual buttons, not some plastic film covering tiny buttons underneath. The manual is pretty basic, but there aren’t a lot of complicated settings on this thing.My biggest problem is this was new in the box, and as packaged, the flexible wand was bent sharply where it goes into the unit - this is to get it in the case as new. That damages the spiral wound metal of the flexible wand, so now at close to or full extension, the sensor end will shift around… if you twist the unit as you are tracing a leak, the end will move instead of being steady.. so if you need to be precise, it makes it a bit more difficult. The sharp bend damages the flexible wand right at the strain relief. A slightly longer case that doesn’t require as tight a bend of the wand would possibly help.Wrapped the area that isn’t as sturdy as the rest of it with electrical tape as some added strain relief. Gets it to about 70% of where it should be (the entire thing should be the same resistance to flexing, and it’s not - disappointing).5 stars for detecting things and usefulness, down to three for the annoyance of the not so great wand.
