Personal CO detectors/monitors/alarms

Mark Eatherton

Question, How many folks here use a personal CO detector, and if so, what brand and what did you pay for it and where did you purchase it? (I know the rule about talking price, but I don't think anyone here is selling personal CO detectors, so it doesn't apply)



If you do work with fired appliances and you don't own one, why not?



Mine is a Rattler by Industrial Scientific. It cost $200 from WW Graingers, and is guaranteed for 2 years. It starts alarming at 35 ppm. It clips on my belt. <a href="http://www.indsci.com/T40/">http://www.indsci.com/T40/</a>



Let's see, thats $200.00 divided by 730 days of protection, that means it costs me $0.27 per day.... I consider that a worthwhile investment.



And it HAS gone off numerous times when I wouldn't have normally considered myself to be in jeopardy. Like walking the isles of Home Despot, in a casino near an open hearth gas log fire place, in my mother in laws kitchen (oven).



What's yours?
