Review on Fluke 59 MAX+ Infrared Thermometer, Yellow, 59 🌡️ MAX Plus, 10:1 Distance to Spot Ratio, FLUKE-59 MAX+ NA by Muhamed Hogan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not the best choice if you work outside in rainy weather.

The thermometer itself works perfectly in good weather. However, he has already failed twice when a little rain got into the tool bag. It came back to life after putting it in a bag of rice for many hours, but it doesn't work for me as I need this tool every workday and I need it to be reliable. In contrast, my Fluke multimeter, clamp meter, and non-contact voltage tester all work fine under the same conditions. Replaced it with a Klein IR5, which still handles rainy winters well, and FWIW reads it almost like a fluke when I tried it out on a variety of subjects both hot and cold.
