Excelente producto y muy fcil de usar !
Para la casa o negocio.
Any product that is open-and-go is a pro for me. You simply hit one button and when its ready you do what you need to. Auto shut off is a huge plus as well. We all forget to shut things off from time to time. I work on compressed natural gas garbage trucks and this is perfect. Long reach. Easy clean. Durable. What more could I ask for. Great job Ridgid!!!
Ein erfahrener Techniker sagte mir, dies sei eine gute Marke
Es un producto de uso prodesional. Cambie la instalacin de gas en la cocina. Vino un tecnico de repsol y me “certific” la instalacin y me hizo el contrato de mantenimiento. An estando la instalacin certificada por un profesional compr este detector. Sealaba que haba fuga justo en la conexin a la placa de cocinar. Llam al tecnico y tras varios dias por fin apareci en casa. Deca que mi detector deba estar averiado. Revis la instalacin de nuevo con su detector y no sealaba fuga. Le hice una demostracin con mi detector y ya por fin se convencin de que haba fuga de gas. La volvi a probar con un manmetro y se comprob que haba una leve fuga. Por fin admiti que mi detector era mas sensible que el suyo. Cambi una junta y solucionado. Este detector es mas sensible que el que traa el tecnico profesional.
As a gas installer this bit of kit saves you a tonne of time and makes a job alot easier, reasonably priced and handy enough for the job. Thanks.
Easy to read and follow instructions. Simple to set up and calibration is just to turn it on outside in fresh air. It found the gas leak before the British Gas engineer arrived. That saved him time as the leak was in the floor (Methane is lighter than air, so rises, so the floor is not the first place you look). Leak either in the concrete slab or under my kitchen floor. Had to condemn (capped off) that pipe and now buying an induction hob as too expensive to get new gas pipe into brand new kitchen and new floor
The sniffer vibrates near presence of gas and homes in straight to leak with sound and visual, will save lots of time finding a leak, worth every penny
I found the gas leak inside the wall of the house, without this product I would have had to call a plumber, the money I saved on that easily paid for the detector and then some.
It does not have a motor to suck air through the detector but it works great, detects very small amounts of gas. It is well calibrated, does not show any false positives and it works very well outdoors too, to the pipes up to the house. The display is not digital, it just has 5 leds.
Sehr gutes Gert, erfllt absolut seinen Zweck. Bedienung sehr einfach. Top

Used this meter to detect 5% hydrogen 95% nitrogen, worked great. It does have it’s limitations though, you have to verify that it’s set to the highest detection setting. After it finishes calibrating check that all the detection lights flash, not just some. The five minute time out is also frustrating, but overall worth the money.
Easy to use, responds quickly. Best feature is that the unit I bought also detects Hydrogen. Double check models – not all combustible gas detectors do this.
mit dem gert versucht man das risiko bei gasaustritt zu vermeiden.
gert funktioniert gut . habe vertrauen zur genauigkeit .es macht einen qualitativ zuverlssigen eindruck.
wrde wieder kaufen.
Wei nicht ob das Gert auch Kohlenmonoxid erke
Great unit, works as expected and solidly built. with replacable sensor.
Ridgid truly makes some ridgid tools. This gas detector is no exception. I detected the gas leak from a quick release gas line connector and quickly replaced it.
Ich hatte bei mir ein Gasleck vermutet und daher dieses Gert gekauft.
Das Gert ist definitiv wertig gearbeitet und macht auch einen stabilen Eindruck.
Ich habe dieses Gert an Haushaltsgas getestet und bin zufrieden.
Mein dazu gerufener Installateur hatte ein sehr hnliches Gert was hnlich empfindlich war.
Man muss allerdings den Sensorarm mchtig biegen damit er in die Tasche passt, das erscheint mir auf dauer nicht gesund. Ich vermute das hier bei regelmiger Nutzung eine Materialermdung auftreten wird!
Funciona a la perfeccin, como contra es que cuesta un poco de entende
firstly, I am not a gas fitter, just a joe blogs. I bought this to check all the connection of my provence gas heater, (as it is recommended, on changing the gas cylinder, you check all connections). easy to follow instructions and it is easy to use. as a test, I didn’t light the pilot light, and just run it along the vent of the heat exchanger, and all of the lights lit up, the siren sounded and it vibrated in my hand. personally, I feel I can trust this product.
Better quality than I had expected. I use it daily in my job as gas engineer.
Easy to use, well built, but needs a hard case! It’s to easy to accidentally turn on in the soft case!
It’s a fantastic tool. Incredibly simply to use; love the vibrating feature.
Muy buena calidad , por ahora llevo 2 meses usndolo y va perfecto muy recomendable, encuentro fugas donde el jabn no las ve
Works pretty good. It found the leak that mega bubble didnt. So it did its job and was worth the money.
Encantado con la maquina . Llego con funda protectora, el manejo bastante facil y el poder regular de sensibilidad ayuda mucho . Espero poder darle uso mucho tiempo
I have been smelling gas in my basement for months, I am handy enough to fix gas lines?pipes etc .. but I just did not have the time with so many gas pipes in my home ..with this tool I was able to find the leaks that I suspected in no time.it also detected areas I had no clue that were leaking. its so sensitive you can dial in detection as small as each fitting/connector . so you only need to fix the fittings that are leaking–iiiii love it!!!!!
Fr den Preis absolut O.k. gibt auch den Sensor fr kleines Geld im I Ne
super Preis, Produkt entspricht der Beschreibung. Erfllt seinen Zweck sehr gu
Das Gert wurde bestellt um den Entstehungsort von Erdgasgeruch aufzuspren. Das Gert hat zuverlssig gearbeitet und die Ursache fr den Gasgeruch war schnell gefunden. Das Gert selbst berzeugt mit einem qualitativ hochwertigen Eindruck.
Toll war auch die blitzschnelle Lieferung ohne Aufpreis.
I’m a plumber by trade so when you walk in a customer home with this detector you look like a professional very easy to use so glad I bought i
I purchased this for testing Hydrogen levels in my Battery storage container (24 x 2v 800ah Traction Lead acid Batteries) in my solar system. They gas considerably under charge. Wanted to ensure my ventilation system was sufficient. Appears to function well. Tested using Butane from a lighter. It appeared to function. I then re-zeroed and tested the Battery compartment readings from 160-320 PPM dependent on proximity to the batteries. As the batteries gas hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide, not sure which it is reading but both are of concern, so testing is worthwhile. Very Happy with my purchase.
Gert nach der Startzeit sofort gebrauchsfhig. Zeigt exakt in 2 Stufen undichte Stellen in einer Versorgungsleitung an.
Preis Leistung o.k.

I use this for my work as a home inspector. It quickly and easily allows me to verify gas leaks and track down their source. Very easy to use and is well built.
Had a very very small leak that bubbles could not find , but this did the job in a matter of seconds
Beeped at me during tests with known concentrations of gas.
Super Gert kann ich nur Weiterempfehlen! Wird bei mir tagtglich gebraucht und bis jetzt bin ich positiv berrascht ! Lieferung war Blitzschnell!
Bought unit to localize potential low level leak that several visitors have brought to our attention over the years. Unit not only detected methane in the entry to our home, but localized it to the gas line leading to the kitchen range from behind the fridge. The user calibrates the unit outside, where the ambient methane level is very low. Unit shuts down automatically after five minutes, which I find infuriating, especially when I’m under the house tracking down each gas line connector and the unit times out, requiring me to crawl back outside, re-calibrate then crawl back under the house to, hopefully, finish before the next timeout.
positiv:
+ hochwertige und robuste Verarbeitung.
+ sehr einfache Handhabung.
+ Betrieb mit 4 handelsblichen AA-Batterien.
+ sprt, je nach der gewhlten Einstellung, auch geringste Mengen von unterschiedlichen Gasen auf.
Von mir wurden Tests mit Feuerzeuggas, Gas fr den Gartengrill und Erdgas fr die Heizung durchgefhrt.
+ fnf rote LED’s zeigen stufenweise den Gasmesspegel bzw. die Konzentration von Gas an.
+ zustzlich gibt es ein akustisches Signal (Vibrationsalarm) mit stufenweiser Lautstrke, je nach Konzentration des Gases.
+ die Reaktionszeit fr die Feststellung von Gas liegt nur bei 1-2 Sekunden.
+ der Gassensor ist auswechselbar, falls einmal defekt.
+ nach dem Einschalten: relativ kurze Kalibrierungszeit von ca. 40-50 Sek. bis der Sensor betriebsbereit ist.
+ Gert kann staubdicht in dem mitgelieferten Reisverschluss-Beutel verstaut werden (Sensor wird geschont).
+ sehr gute deutsche Bedienungsanleitung auf der mitgelieferten CD.
+ Der Preis ber Amazon-Warehouse-Deal war unschlagbar, obwohl das Gert so gut wie neu war.
negativ:
– bisher nichts. Sollte sich etwas ndern, wird es von mir entsprechend dokumentiert.
Arrived on time and have already used it to locate a natural gas leak. Worked great.
My nose isn’t very good. I got this to detect gasoline leaks in my old boat and truck. Does an excellent job. Also scoped my natural gas connections in the house including a leaking gas log in a fireplace. Will detect alcohol when held next to a glass of beer.
Only negative is the detection head insert last 5 years and costs $50 to replace.
Ich finde das Gert absolut Klasse, ich habe es nun ein Jahr und bin voll zu frieden. Es tut seinen Dienst genau so wie ein teures Gert. Preis/Leistung stimmt zu 100%. Ich wrde mir immer wieder ein Ridgid Gaslecksuchgert kaufen.
Purchased this leak detector for commercial use. Each one of my technicians are now using this detector. It’s very accurate and can be used on the smallest gas leak. Great for all combustible gasses. Perfect for in home use.
Great product. Easy to use right out of the box. It is built very well, and the flexible neck is very durable. Was able to detect gas leak right away. Definitely recommended.
Einfach zu bedienen, Funktioniert einwandfrei, konnte sofort das Leck orten.
Fr den Preis ist es sehr Gut. auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.
I have to share my amazing experience. Our bathroom in our basement for a long time smelled strange. I thought it may be gas but the basement in general has a moldy smell so I wasn’t sure. Recently I decided to buy this gas detector.
I turned it on and let it calibrate. I then went to our basement. Near the bathroom closed door, it detected gas at 40 ppm! I opened the door, went into the bathroom and the sensor started climbing up to 160 ppm. I went around and the bathroom and other areas and sure enough the concentration was higher where the gas meter was. All other suspect places and pipes were showing little concentrations like just outside of the bathroom door.
So then I took my wife’s Windex and I started to spray all over and around the gas meter. Amazingly on one spot below a nut I saw a huge bubble forming! I took the Ridgid monitor to that spot and what do you know? >640 ppm in that spot. 640 is the max in the high sensitivity mode. I should have tried the low sensitivity mode to see how much more than 640 it was.
I got my tools, tightened the nut and the bubbles stopped. Soon after that the monitor registered 80 ppm there like in the rest of the bathroom.
I bet by tomorrow the gas smell will be history.
[Update. Next morning there is no gas smell and the sensor registers no gas]
Nothing says you are a professional like having specialized tools for a job. Sure you can walk in with a business card and shoe covers, but if you’re definition of a gas leak detector is your nose, then you need to step up your game. Image is a big deal in service work and having a tool that the average person doesn’t have and being able to accurately pin point a leak and the severity of the leak speak volume to your credibility as a professional tradesman. The combustible gas detector is peace of mind for me after working on a gas line, but will never replace bubbles for a pressure test if that is needed.
work far better than I expected. Have used tracking leaks in RV’s and homes. A bit slow on calibration but acceptable
I’m glad I paid the extra money to get a nicer model. This tools works great! It’s easy to use and requires very little time to get going with it. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra money to get this unit over the 30-40 dollar units.
Works great would give five stars but have to wait along time for it to warm up each time you turn it o
Im Vergleich zu einem Gert des Mitbewerbers fllt nur die relativ groe Sensorspitze negativ auf. Fr das Geld bekommt man ein sehr gutes Gert. Langzeittest steht aber noch aus.
Very High Quality unit – good instructions – worked right out of the box. This was much better built than my first unit. The flexible wand is very hand and reaches into small areas. This is a must have for anyone doing remodling.
Funktioniert astrein!
Habe sofort ein kleines Leck am Flssigphasenfilter detektiert!!
Der Sensor verbraucht sich gem Hersteller nach ein paar Jahren. Der Wechselintervall soll gem Bedienungsanleitung angezeigt werden.
Kleiner Tip: wenn man die Sensorkappe abschraubt, sieht man einen gesteckten Gassensot, der fr ein paar Euro in der Bucht zu haben ist. Somit spart man sich das teure Einschicken zum Sensorwechsel.
Das Gert braucht ca 1 Minute nach dem Einschalten zwecks Kalibrierung, danach ist es betriebsbereit.
Ich wrde es mir wieder kaufen!
High quality product as expected from Rigid. Well made and designed. Simple to operate with high and low sensivity selections. The readout is via visual bars, increasing audible beeps, and vibration. Uses 4 AA batteries. Comes with nice Rigid zipper case and manual. The sensor element has a life of 5 years and is replaceable from Rigid. I am building a home on Lake Michigan and decided to check all the gas lines after all my mechanical subcontractors were finished as the ceilings and walls will be closed in with Urethane spray foam insulation and the plastered walls and ceilings. Not something you want to do after the fact. Better now than later! After checking numerous fittings from the outdoors to all the lines in the house I found one union with a small leak within the floor space. Easy fix now! Money well spent. Thanks Rigid!
Super,il m'a permis de dcouvrir deux fuites pourtant inodores sur mon chauffe-eau ainsi qu une autre sur mon bbcue …indispensable afin de contrler ses installations la maison..
Works great with a great price! Could not be happier, thanks!
This model works great! Great price and as always well made tool from Ridgid.
I’m a home inspector and I needed this to make sure my clients didn’t have any unhealthy gas in their house.
It works great.
I use this regularly when doing gas repairs and servicing. The unit is very well made and has a solid weighty feel to it. The flexible hose also feels very strong and robust (to be expected by such a highly regarding tool maker as Ridgid). It also comes with the manual on cd (a throwback to the 90’s presumably) and a thick multi language manual, this really isn’t needed as the sniffer is very simple and intuitive to use. It’s supplied in a small canvas pouch that does an adequate job of protecting the thing.
The only minor niggle I have is that it’s far too easy to switch the device by knocking the power button when it’s stored away. A lock button or similar would really improve the design. I just turn a battery the wrong way around to prevent this.
Cumple con lo que esperabamos, facil manejo y fiabilidad – detecta la mas minima fuga de gas con precision, bien por el sonido y la vibracio
Ok there are cheaper units out there and much more expensive ones. I am so glad I went with this unit. Ridgid products have not let me down.
Reason for purchase: I’m not a professional but a homeowner and father who just switched over to Natural Gas.
I have the wall gas/fire alarm detectors but be warned the gas they detect is carbon Monoxide. That is not the same as a Natural Gas leak coming into the appliances or from leaking pipes. Unless it is in large amounts you don’t smell the chemical they add to natural gas.
So I had first purchased a very cheap plug in unit. For the price is worked just fine. Then began going off very often. I could not be sure if it was a leak again or just a defect. I know what a unit less then 30 bucks is not going to be the most precise. My families safety is worth the best.
First Impression; The Ridgid 36163 arrived today and I was very impressed with the quality of the unit. Very rugged and well built. I could see a professional using this daily. I was concerned at first that I was going to have to get into the weeds and learn how to use it. I have enough projects and programs I’m learning I don’t want to add another complicated device. WELL I can tell you if you can turn it on you can use it. Calibration is as simple as it gets. You have vibration on and off, high sensitivity and low, on and off sound alert, and thats all there is to it. I still have my cheap plug in unit. If it goes off I check with this unit.
Final thought; I would gladly recommend this to my friends and family.
Yes awesome device Will return to buy from this selle
i thinking on getting one more i like work very well
Trs satisfait de mon achat, cet appareil m’a permis de dtecter rapidement une fuite qui tait introuvable parce que trop faible avec les moyens traditionnels. Ce dtecteur fait parfaitement ce qu’on en attend un prix trs soft par rapport aux appareils concurrents.
Livraison Amazon, comme d’habitude: rapide et bien emball.
Merci
This item arrived fairly quickly. Much sooner than expected. Pros: High quality, durable, rugged, very sensitive, good price and value. Cons: None really. It takes about a minute to calibrate. I had some trouble removing the battery compartment door. The sensor on the head of the flexible probe will need to be replaced after 5 years. This is typical of gas detectors and alarms. It comes with a CD, paper instructions, and a soft case. I researched many of these devices and this detector, in my opinion, is the best in it’s class for value. Don’t waste your money on cheap detectors.
Bei einer Feuerstttenberprfung (zufllig kurz nach einem Gaszhlerwechsel) stellte der Schornsteinfeger ein Leck an einer Gasrohrverbindung fest. Er meinte das msse mal erneuert werden. Ich habe dies Gert gekauft weil ich dem rtlichen Rohrleger nicht ganz traue (ist alt und nimmts nicht immer so genau), das Gert kam zu gleichem Ergebniss wie der Schornsteinfeger, obwohl mein Gaswarner bisher nicht reagierte. Hab die Leckstelle dann durch einen rtlichen Rohrlegermeister erneuern lassen. Der lachte und meinte, das diese Gerte superempfindlich seien und schon anzeigten wenn keinerlei Gefahr bestnde. Er hatte recht. Nach Rep. zeigte das Gert an der Stelle immer noch ein Leck an. Erst am nchsten Tag war Ruhe. Fazit: sehr empfindliches und zuverlssiges, fast professionelles, Gert.
apido y bueno, es un buen equipo para detectar fuga de gas, es comodo y facil de llevar , ok,ok
The last one I had was good but this is a lot better. It has really help me find gas leaks faster and also works LPG.
Performance is as advertised. Excellent in detecting the smallest gas leaks. I’m very pleased with the product’s performance and durability.
Very straightforward to use. Clearly indicates any gas escaping. Would recommend it.
‘Rigid’ brand quality, Beautiful addition to my tool box. Works great.
This device enabled me to locate precisely 2 difficult to detect gas leaks in my propane installation and to take corrective measures. In the most sensitive range can detect alcohol fumes near an opened bottle. Also reacts to ammonia in the breath when the sniffer is inserted in the mouth and you then exhale through the mouth.
Awesome product, it helped to detect and prove a gas leak from various areas outside from gas company. Averted a possible explosion potential and helped identify the source. Ridgid is a very reliable company and has reliable equipment. I highly recommend this product for gas detection.
Good product and very sensitive. Would purchase again. Tough design for worry free tool bag carry.
Verwende das Gert fr die Kontrolle bei LPG Fahrzeugen. Bisher gute Ergebnisse.
Hier stimmen Preis/Leistung und es ist sehr robust.
Saved me quite a few times. Works well for sniffing for gas leaks during home inspections.
I bought this combustible gas detector to confirm whether there was a small gas leak from my cooker that was recently installed – now and again I thought I could smell gas now and again (well the additive they include that provides a distinctive smell).
The product was simple to use (it was intuitive)and posed no additional hazards. It was supplied with four AA batteries, probe and the unit. Easy to assemble and operate. Tested the probe using a hand held lighter (not igniting the gas) and it went off in alarm mode. Removed it from gas source and the alarm mode decays away back to rest mode. The alarm was raised in three ways: Visually on the screen scale; Audioable alarm; and Vibration via the unit.
Using this, I checked the cooker, that did register one bar (small leak) at one of the connecting joints. Called the Gas Safe Technician back to rectify the fault. Re-tested the cooker after he left and a few times after that, its ok – no alarm raised.
The product felt of good quality, to hold and use, although the durability is to be tested still; I will post an update in the future. I paid 75 (including VAT & delivery), so based on the ease of use and price, it gets 5 stars, but I will deduct 1 star as it does not come with a storage case, and the probe is delicate/fragile. Would have been 5 stars if it came with protective case for a sensitive instrument.
