Bacharach 3015-8004 H-10 Pro Refrigerant Leak Detectors

This is a 3 week review. This leak detector finds leaks that others (Dtek Select and JB Prowler LD5000) cannot find. The other thing is if it goes off, there is a leak. I do not have the false hits from this that seem to happen with others. Example would be a Bakery Walk-In Cooler, the dough sets off every other leak detector I’ve tried. Not the H-10Pro, if it goes off, it’s picking up refrigerant. Walking by the mop room doesn’t set it off. Cigarettes and vape pens do not set it off. Temperature difference doesn’t set it off. Refrigerant sets it off. I constantly find little tiny leaks. I can start to pickup a tiny access port cap leak barely leaking in RIFF Cases three or four doors down. I can adjust the leak detector to point me in the direction of leaks in motor rooms with a high base level that would max out any other leak detector on lowest sensitivity.The battery is a complaint, but I’m careful about charging it and the battery is only $12. The shoulder strap sucks. I wish the flap would lock in the partial open position. I have these little complaints, but I’m neglecting to subtract a star from an amazing product.Read the manual. It will explain how to use the tool and make adjustments to really increase your success at finding leaks.It has already paid for itself in found leaks.

Worked at a auto company and uses these frequently and they seemed to work quite well to the point I decided to get a personal one..item description says brand new but upon receiving item I notice a rattle, the battery was shaking..all the others I've used never had this issue

well I have a selection of leak detector inficon dtek select, tek mate and cos leak seeker 1 and 2 and bacharach informant 2 and now on the top of that list the h10 pro i mean I been hearing about this that this is the top of the line now finally I can say wow this is a beast of a beast those other leak detector are good but not very good to locate a leak.that is what I would use to locate a leak but if I can't than i will use the h10 pro I love how its designed and built and i really didn't like the shoulder strap so I have used the other type of shoulder strap that was from a different tool bag and i really like the charging option and another thing they should have included a car charher those thing.cost $20-30 and it should have been included there is one for the wall but bacharach you know we pretty much live in the service van/truck so they should have included in the box but anyhow I will be buying that and those are just few cons other than that the product itself is free of any cons i wanna write more but this is good enough anyway also the sensor life is long and included accessories are good as well.

I've tried Snap-on, Robinair, and a few other various brand leak detectors in the past, and none of them were accurate. The slightest breeze would set them off and give false readings. I use my H-10 Pro for automotive applications, and for every vehicle I've had where the UV dye didn't indicate a leak, this thing has been right on the money. No false readings at all. It takes a bit of maintenance and care to keep it running well, and is a bit on the pricey side, but I'd say it's well worth every penny. If you do HVAC service of any kind, you need this tool!

Excellent excellent excellent leak detector. Actually the only GD leak detector I've ever had consistently accurate results with. Others are all over the place. I'm buying 2 more for my employees on my other 2 trucks. Tip for you guys who say it's not as accurate with non chlorine refrigerants like 410. If you have a stubborn or very hard to find leak, dump or recover your charge and charge the system with some recovered r22 and nitrogen be careful to only use vapor from your r22 so that you don't polute your poe with mineral etc.. You can't miss a leak with this thing.

I am ase certified tech. I was in the market for a really good r134a detector. I came across this unit. Tho a little on the pricey side let me tell you, it works unbelievable. This detector met my expectations Well beyond. I have even contacted the company before purchasing and the technician was extremely helpful. The only thing I wish they had done differently is to use a lithium ion battery nevertheless it has not Let me down one time I have found every leak in a vehicle.

The media could not be loaded. H-10Pro arrived in non working condition. The Red HIGH LED glows continuously from the 1st day of operation. Heater adjustment did not solve the problem. Can not use this instrument. I dont know how to return/fix it.

I had high hopes for this leak detector but sadly it arrived in non-working condition and the manufacturer will not honor warranty when purchased here. Now I have an $800 paper weight until I send it off at my expense and spend who-knows how much more to get a working device.
