  • Yet another explosive gas (and flammable refrigerant) leak detector from TopTes Tools. With all the caveats of a sample size of one, I don't really recommend this model.
    If you are interested in purchasing one of these, you can do so here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3BZYGT1 . This is not an affiliate nor a tracking link.
    The sensor is a Figaro TGS2611 and more details are here : www.figarosensor.com/product/...

    Looks like I'll have to take care of this one myself, so here goes. It's past your bedtime in my time zone, so stop using the computer to post "FIRST" comments. 😛

    I don't care about gas leaks, but listening to uxwbill is always a delight.

    The man, the myth, and the legend has returned. I have been watching you since I was starting highschool over a decade ago. This channel is a little gem to listen to while working. Have you gotten the chance to use an 8" floppy disk drive?

      As long as you realize I am and always have been just some guy with a camera. Really.
      I've never owned or directly used anything with an eight inch floppy drive. I've been near to computers so equipped, though.

    Man, I wish you made more videos. I’ve been watching your channel for at least a decade and I remember when you put out a new video at least once a month.

      I've been a sub for at least 10 years if not longer as well. I'm a big UXWBILL fan and wish he'd post more too but I'm sure he's a busy guy.

      UA-cam is and always has been something I do for fun. If I had a set schedule, it probably wouldn't be fun any more. And yes, I'm very busy with all manner of other things these days.

    Was I misinformed about baked beans? What will I do for humor now?

    • @uxwbill

      Not that I know of. As the video says, you have to "burn" that fuel before it'll set the leak detector off.

      I don't see that happening. As for live streams, while I do still air them once in a blue moon, I got tired of Internet Twelve-Year-Olds running rampant.

    Looks familiar... Is this a repost, or just a different gas "sniffer" ?

    • @uxwbill
      @uxwbill  6 місяців тому +2

      It's yet another model from TopTes Tools. You are probably thinking of the rather similar PT-520A, which I also reviewed previously.

    And refrain from using a Zippo lighter to find the leak in the dark.
