    Slow work in progress
    I've used one just like that many times (worked in hvac for 8 years and counting). It works well, but be cautious around fresh pipe dope. It will pick up the vapor from it and say you have a gas leak. I've heard that the higher end detectors don't do this but don't have any personal experience with them. It's a good tool for the money.
