Test, Review, Comparison & Tear-Down of the CMTOOL Co2 Meter - Is It Real Or Is It Fake?

I was watching another channel about a Chinese Diesel Heater, and the guy was testing for CO2 using a CMTOOL handheld meter. At one point in the video, he said – Wow!, the CO2 is down to 385, well, I was immediately taken back by the reading, and decided to go to the Amazon listing in his description to check it out. The description led me to believe that the CMTOOL meter was possibly one of those “FAKE” Chinese meters, so I purchased it for 30.00, and the reason for the purchase, was to know for sure if I was correct in my thinking, but also it was to let this channel know – if in fact, I found it to be fake, so that not only could I ask him to throw it away and not use it any longer, but to also hopefully stop others from making the same mistake, by buying a fake meter. This meter absolutely turned out to be a fake, and I do a tear-down to prove it is a fake. The ONLY 2 sensors inside this meter, are a Temp & Humidity sensor, and a Alcohol sensor that is used to give the fake CO2 readings. Please do not buy this monitor and why you will find NO link to it in this description. If you need an affordable CO2 monitor, then please check out the Hotkrem CO2 monitor for only 30.00 at the time of this recording. I will try to remember to put a link below where you can get this incredible little monitor for detecting CO2, and TVOC. If you like this type of video, please let me know in the comments about a subject you would like to discuss and I will do my best to create a video on that subject, or if you have a video idea for a DIY project, A review of a product or anything else, I will be happy to create that content as well. Thanks for stopping by, and remember – find someone who needs to laugh, needs to smile, needs to cry, or just simply needs a friend – and make it happen ;). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents of this video 00:00 - Introduction 02:58 - CMTOOL on Amazon 04:07 - Features of the CMTOOL CO2 Meter 06:26 - How To Test A "Fake" CO or CO2 Meter 07:55 - Tear-Down of CMTOOL CO2 Meter 11:33 - What Are the Two Sensors Inside CMTOOL? 14:27 - Final Thoughts 15:59 - Is There An Budget Friendly CO2 Meter? 17:51 - How To Tell A Monitor May be Fake? 18:51 - How To Test A CO Monitor 19:41 - Outro Not an Affiliate Link: Hotkrem CO2 meter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...
