This tool is unbelievable and gets used everyday! It is easy to operate because it is portable, hangs under the hood and is easy to grab when you need it. We have a Vacutec that barely
functions. Because of its poor smoke function it is impossible to find small leaks. We received the Smoke Pro after trying to locate a small EVAP leak (P0456) with the Vacutec with no success. The Smoke Pro found the small leak (a hairline crack in the EVAP
canister) in about ten minutes from hook up. Without our Smoke Pro it would be impossible to find these small leaks. The thicker denser smoke was essential. This car barely failed the EVAP test and malfunctioned with a leak actually smaller than 020.
We also use it to find exhaust leaks in diesels and quickly diagnose leaks in the air management systems of diesels. We just diagnosed a vacuum leak in a Camero in 30 seconds. This tool is 100% better than any other smoke machine I have used.
It is difficult to look back at the time wasted by not having this tool. I cant see how anyone could not own one after seeing one work. It is a real time saver and a big money maker.

My tool dealer told me to test this tool. We have the OTC model and I did a side by side comparison with both tools. Even though an OTC smoke machine is here to use I purchased my own Smoke Pro Total-Tech. The biggest
difference to me is the OTCs smoke seems to evaporate faster and makes it more difficult to chase down the small leaks that are harder to see. Leaks above the fuel tank are a good example. The Smoke Pro seems to have a denser smoke that stays around longer and is
easier to see.
This tool is not bulky and does not have a large nitrogen cart and set up. Nitrogen is a hassle and there never seems to be any in the tank anyway. Everyone we show this tool to is impressed.
Toyota of Temecula Valley also has a Smoke Pro. There is a lot of talk about this tool within our Toyota techs so you should be seeing more and more orders.
I am very happy my dealer showed me this. Once I used it, I had to have it. I only wish I had seen it sooner

This tool was recommended to our shop. The increase of EVAP related check engine lights and the regulation changes made this an important investment for us. We have found leaks in EVAP canisters, manifolds, vacuum lines, and
in the exhaust system. We expect to make many repairs with this tool that will add to our bottom line.
This is a well built, simple, and very portable tool.

I have been a diagnostic technician for nearly 20 years. After I bought the smoke machine I was only disappointed that I didnt find one years ago. I found a small hole in a brake booster that was
causing a check engine light to come on. It would have taken alot longer to find than in just the few seconds that the smoke machine found it in. |

The Smoke Pro Total Tech product was introduced to Midas in April of 2006. This tool was tested by some of our best technicians in the field with fantastic results. Redline Detection was
invited to our 50th anniversary Midas convention to show the product to all the franchisee's. This tool was a big hit and one of the most exciting tools at the show. Midas has taken many orders for this tool with more to come. Redline is invited back to our
upcoming shows and the Smoke Pro Total-Tech has easily earned the spot as the Tool of the Month on our Midas Portal.

We have wanted a Smoke machine for our Muscatine location for some time. The size of this product and the very low cost of operation were obvious but the amount of smoke this makes and the
simplicity really surprised us. We have another very large smoke machine that does not make nearly as much smoke and its bulky size makes it less functional.
When we need the services of the Smoke Pro it comes through for us. You really have a great product here.
The next time you hear from me will be to order another product for our other dealership.
Thanks again
