    Intelligently designed and battle tested for


    impossible missions.
    Take on the mission of quickly and easily finding tube leaks. Utilize
    the RECON Series tube leak test guns and test every tube quickly
    and efficiently with the most ergonomic test gun on the market.

    From the lightweight cast aluminum body to the ergonomically


    modeled pistol grip, each feature offers an engineered and rugged
    solution for finding leaking tubes.

    Operating the RECON 1500 Tube Leak Test Gun is simple. With

    reasons, one of the most common causes
    is the formation of holes. Holes can form
