Leak Search & Repair w/ the Fieldpiece DR82 Infrared Leak Detector 

Same dude I’ve ended up with Bluetooth fieldpiece everything, half my diagnostics are done using my phone now

That one I trusted very much, I just broke it tho 😅

I've heard of that, it's a tool you really should trust. So I was cautious coming from another one I really enjoyed but luckily so far it's doing good. I'll be testing it more.

I recently bought the h-10 pro and im not sure if i love it yet but i continue to work with it...my Fieldpiece heated diode seems to be giving alot of false positives these days but imma see

@@marjones69 NorCal Dave on RU-vid has great videos. He’s also showed how to get the best use out of the H-10. Actually there are few out there on using the H-10. I’ve got an ultrasonic I use as a back up too

Are you consistently moving it?

Th DR82 is an infrared detector and you have to keep moving it, and Fieldpiece leak detectors work better for blended refrigerants. The H-10 works better for one component refrigerants like R-22. You can check to see if it's working by moving a sharpie pen in front of the DR82 there's something in the pen that will let the DR82 register like a leak. Or natural gas will work, just turn on your stove with out a flame and it will register like a leak.

😂 well I had it with me, I wanted to show it a little

Heard they are good, cool that you can detect CO2 also with a sensor change. Honestly I had an old tekmate that never let me down from them so I trust em.

Online at safishing & hvactactical , I also have Amazon links to them in my tool Link

Yeah, it's preferred when it's off so the suction pressure isn't so low either. Low on gas is usually ok unless it is a really tiny micro leak

On Amazon, they are Allen key bits. I have them in my tool Link under hand tools

Could you send me the link

I love the lighted tip and the form factor. Compact and rugged

@@ReliableHVACR The light up tip was something I was really interested in.

always gotta verify. and no problem, it's been a good one for me

That's a good one. Eventually I want to try one, would be good for those hard micro leaks. I just want to see how it does when it's windy or other noises around

Both heh

Yeah maybe, as long as it isn't D batteries like my old Tek mate 😂 It's linked? What's it showing ?

@@ReliableHVACR yes it’s linked. It shows mmhg. But on the actual display it’s in microns.

@@MRICE-qe4sv ohh ok. When you first open job link click on "more" then click on "unit settings" and there you can change units on all tools

No but same features basically on the DR58, just different sensor.

I guess it's hit or miss, mine still works. I just can't carry around a suitcase for the equipment I work on so I prefer the handheld ones

😂👍🏽

H-10 is weak for 410a

The h10 is bad ass fuck though

You can usually get a good deal online on trutechtools , this one is on the high end around $450 or so and the heated diode version around $300

@@ReliableHVACR yeah I rather go head and get the best one

@@Mapdotgolf yeah this is my 2nd infrared one and I like that the sensor lasts forever

Klein ratchet with mulwark bits, it's in my tool Link as well

Are you asking about the micron gauge range?

@@ReliableHVACR yes

The MG44 which is the one I use has 1000 feet of range. I'm able to connect to it while I go back to the van for a break. But it depends on the building, it can make it difficult if there's a lot of walls and things in between you and the gauge
