Ridgid Micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detectors, Methane; Propane; Butane etc.

I'm trying to locate a septic gas leak that comes and goes. In the past, I've had success with this type of detector. This one seems not to notice gas even though it's strong enough for me to smell. Takes a minute to calibrate and annoyingly shuts itself off every few minutes WHILE you're using it, so you have to go back outside for another minute to recalibrate. After a dozen of these events, you're getting frustrated.

I have tried other brand gas detectors; so far Ridgid micro CD-100 is the best one among them. It is easy to use and detect gas leak accurately.

The speed of reaction took me by surprise, it really is instantaneous as you can see for yourself in the accompanying video. It will also detect a wide range of gases and solvents. The first gas the unit detected was butane and the second was propane. The controls are logical, well laid out and easy to use. The addition of a mute button for the audible output is welcomed and the vibrate function is good and strong. Start up and self-calibration takes about a minute and the long flexible sensor is easily positioned and stiff enough to stay put. The plastic body is good quality but the battery compartment cover was very stiff and I had to leverage the clasp using a pair of pliers to get it open. I guess this is because potential sparks from batteries and certain gases don't mix very well. In other words a safety feature! The readout screen is very clear and the gas detection bars represent detection rates from 40 parts per million (ppm) to 6,400 ppm. There is a CD in the kit containing the operations manual in 22 different languages. The full multi language manual can also be downloaded too. The manual and the gas detector fit snugly inside the protective cover that also has belt loops so the tool is always near to hand.

Our CD-10 is not working. Where do we get it fixed. Thanks.

Awesome tool and easy to use and should be a part of any person who works with propane or natural gas tools
