LeakFinder® SOLO-SHOT™ Leak Detection Kit for Automotive Air Conditioning Systems

WESTBURY, NY— The LeakFinder® SOLO-SHOT™ Single-Use Syringe Universal A/C Leak Detection Kit (LF040CS) provides quality leak detection for all automotive air conditioning systems using R-134a, R-1234yf, or other widely used refrigerants.
