Great for temperature monitoring - requires safe storage

Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer Gun High and Low Temperature Alarm -58℉1112℉ with Color LED Screen and Ambient Temperature Measurement (Not for Human Use) and Related Product Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer with K Type Thermocouple Temperature Sensor -50℃ 650℃ (-58℉-1202℉) Adjustable Emissivity Non-Contact IR Temperature Pyrometer for Cooking Oil Kitchen BBQ Pistol Grip Infrared Thermometer Style. Two AAA batteries are required for operation, which they carefully installed in the clamshell. You have the thermometer itself, a simple one-page instruction manual and two batteries. The instructions are fairly simple, with general warnings such as eg avoid pointing the laser at the eyes etc. It has some suggestions on the thermal passivity of certain metals when painting or plating which was very interesting. They also take into account that the distance increases the diameter of the temperature measurement area. For example, measuring something from 2 feet away is more accurate than measuring the same object from 20 feet away. This makes sense especially when you turn on the law of diminishing returns, the first time you touch the trigger on the pistol grip after inserting the batteries, the reading is in degrees Celsius, if desired, Fahrenheit must switch while the unit is still on. Turns off pretty quickly to save batteries. Speaking of batteries, although they claim to include two batteries with the device, they are high-capacity batteries, not alkaline. I would personally recommend using alkaline batteries as high capacity batteries don't last as long. The standard laser pointer has a circular laser refraction setting, so you're obviously measuring a circle of temperature and not a point. If you hold the trigger while moving the non-contact thermometer, it will read the temperature change as you move it over different objects. Using this in a darkened or shaded area makes it much easier to figure out what you are aiming for. A word of caution based on my personal experience: if you're using this in a darkened area, be aware that if you have cats, they'll attack your targeted area. I've had a heck of a lot of time measuring things without the cats attacking the laser dots. Just advice based on my personal experience. I like this handheld thermometer, I think it will be a very handy tool to take multiple measurements. One thing I really wish I had a suitcase to store in. I don't know how durable it is to prevent it from falling, hitting or other tools in the toolbox rubbing against it, but I think it has to be, I wanted to try and put it back in the original packaging. but found that you also need to take out the batteries if you put it away as the packaging squeezes the trigger.

Pros
  • Infrared Thermometer
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
