Works great. Can help limit down the location of a/c leak., May 26, 2010
This review is from: Robinair 16600 Electronic Leak Detector (Misc.)
This electronic freon leak detector works great. It's really easy to use and it can help you find the leak on your air conditioning system.
It has two sensitivity levels on it.
Level 1 detects R-134a (which is in most cars today since the 1990's), HP 62, AC 9000, AZ 20 and AZ 50
Level 2 detects R-12 (which is older cars prior to the 1990's), R-22, R-500, and R-502.
It has a visual leak indicator to show when refrigerant is detected and how concentrated it is
The goose-neck probe is 16 inches long which gives you plenty of reach if your looking for a leak in your engine bay.
The only downside to this freon detector is in the audible leak detector. While the detector is in use you will hear a steady ticking noise which can be controlled with the volume dial. But even with the volume all the way up it can be hard to hear if you are outside or if you are using the detector with your car running.
Overall this detector works great because It detects a wide variety of refrigerants. If your planning on fixing an a/c system yourself and you don't know where the leak is, this is the tool for you.

Robinair 16600 Leak Detector Field Test, July 5, 2011
This review is from: Robinair 16600 Electronic Leak Detector (Misc.)
Great little piece of equipment, light, small,easy to form into the necessary configuration to pinpoint a leak, and surprizingly sensitive! When I first received it I turned it on inside my house to see it light up and found that I had an freon leak in my air conditioning unit on the other end of the house!! Have not failed to find a leak since!

This is a great tool for freon leak testing, always clean tip sensor after use and store in plastic bag to prevent from dusts.
