Abstract: An apparatus to aid in the testing of smoke detectors comprises a rifle-shaped design which holds and dispenses aerosol cans of smoke and air is herein disclosed. The apparatus is approximately four (4) feet long and includes additional extension tubes approximately three (3) feet long. In such a manner the apparatus is capable of reaching smoke detectors that are seven (7) feet or more above the users head. In addition to dispensing smoke for testing and air for purging, the apparatus also includes a magnetic adapter for testing smoke detector switches, a mechanical probe attachment for smoke detector activation, and a holder for electronic devices such as barcode scanners. In such a manner the testing and maintenance of most smoke detectors can be performed safely from ground level without the use of ladders or other assistance.
