AccuTrak maintains the original sound characteristics making it possible to distinguish leaks from other competing background sounds. AccuTrak is so sensitive you can actually hear the blink of an eye yet most background noise will not interfere with detection accuracy.Features.

Title: Great tool
Review: I've invested a lot of $$$ over the years trying to get an edge up on our trade and after a slight learning curve I think this delivers more than expected. One draw back, my assistant that is in charge of locating leaks, seems to wonder off finding new things to explore ... Like a caterpillar crawling across the grass 𤦠But he does find the leaks quicker so the time is a trade off. Would highly recommend and the Kids headphones are an excellent companion to the machine.

Title: Great tool
Review: I was surprised about the accuracy of the unit.I like the gun case the unit came with.The only thing I didn't like was it picked up electronic light ballast to much.If I had a do over, I would buy the more expensive unit, has more features.

Title: HVAC tool you must have.
Review: Could not find a leak with the bubble check. It was in the evaporator coil but on a inner row. This tester gave me a signal outside the unit still with covers in place. The halogen tester only went off after I pin pointed the leak. Excellent tool.

Title: Overpriced
Review: Feels cheap and should have a price point under $100. works ok but not great. Flimsy plastic that will surely break in the field. Missing the transmitter out of the "professional kit" however in the picture it looks like it's there but that turns out to be a pouch for it. I brought a $50 one that includes the transmitter that works nearly as good
