RE: Air leak detector

Yeah, I have one too. They can be tricky to use. The best way I have found is to fill the air system and turn off the compressor then check for leaks as the system pressure bleeds down. If you try to use it when the compressor is on, the air rush through the lines and fittings will produce a false reading. Otherwise, mine works pretty well. Once it finds a leak, I still confirm it with soap & water.
