This is a video comparison of three different combustible gas detectors.

I've done a video comparison of three different gas sniffers. My favorite gas sniffer, aka "combustible gas detector," is currently the TIF 8900. For this video post, I compared a TIF 8800x, a TIF8900 and a RIDGID CD-100. Just watch the video, and I think you'll understand why I prefer the TIF 8900.

For the record, I don't report gas leaks based on my findings with any gas sniffer. I only use a gas sniffer to quickly locate suspected leaks. I use a liquid gas leak detection solution to confirm the presence of gas leaks.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
