    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!!!

    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.

    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 🙁

    This really works and is accurate for Natural Gas (Methane)

    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.

    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.

    Das Gert ist definitiv wertig gearbeitet und macht auch einen stabilen Eindruck.

    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!

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI 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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersBought 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.

    + 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.

    Golden Review Award: 29 From Our UsersI 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]

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersNothing 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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersHigh 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!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI 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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersOk 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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis 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.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersI 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.
