Simple to use, excellent results
By J. Goodell
This device has 2 primary uses: finding a leak, and insuring that there is no leaking gas! It will give you the confidence in both functions. I just replaced a tank with a tankless water heater and had to re-plumb the propane line. Afterwards there was a faint oder of gas, but extensive soap testing gave no hint of which of 20 joints might be leaking, so I purchased this.Within seconds of using it, a minute leak was located down to which side if the joint had the leak. After removing the valve from the fitting, adding more tape and reassembling, the tester assured me that there was no more leaking gas anywhere along the system. Gas leaks can be dangerous and, unlike electrical systems, there are no safety circuit breakers or GFCIs to trip.This is a very sensitive instrument, easy to use, nothing complicated to understand or intrepid. Just turn it on with a rotating click rate thumb wheel, wait 10 seconds for the sensor to stabilize, adjust the thumb wheel for about 2 clicks per second, and move the long probe around the pipe joints listening for a noticeable increase in the clicking rate - more gas, faster click rate. The red LED in the tip gives some light into the space you are probing, I'm just not understanding why the LED isn't white, but it works fine.

Great tool for a serious propane fitter
By svenson
I've used one of these in my business for about five years. Super sensitive, accurate pinpointing of leaks using the integrated light. Works great in and around gas stoves as you can 'see' where you are going with the sensor. I've found minuscule leaks using it, that weren't showing up with the soapy-water method. Very nice quality for the price.

Don't use it with Rectorseal !
By MikeInOhio
The UEI CD100A is a great tool. I bought it in anticipation of a kitchen remodel where I needed to move the natural gas service. Prior to the remodel, I tried the leak detector on my existing gas pipes and was impressed that it found a tiny leak. The trouble came during the remodel project. The tester kept telling me I had a major leak in the fittings I had just assembled. I took them apart and reassembled but still they tested bad.After 4 hours of this nonsense, I googled the pipe sealant I was using (Rectorseal #5) and found that it emits combustible gas as it dries! In fact, the pipe joints tested "positive" for gas leakage for over a week.I hope this saves someone else the frustration I went through. When used properly, this is a great tool and now that I have it, I wouldn't be without it.
