Your screw to hold the pocket clip!

This is a decent thermometer but it differs from the old one because the old one had an issue where the pocket clip was holding the battery and it kept falling out but now they have that solved problem by screwing in their yeppppppy screw.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Beware pocket clip

pocket clip fell off and got lost on the first day of use, I ordered a second non-magnetic version, slightly smaller and same result, great thermometer but be careful with the clip , it holds the batteries and with the Ground turning spring shoots it out, so if it's in your pocket and you're sitting or lying down, it's not there, keep it in your tool bag or go get it.

Pros
  • normal price
Cons
  • doubtful

SOMETIMES shows 2 degrees off

I don't understand how it can sometimes show 2 degrees off. It reads accurately for a minute, and the next time I use it, it's off 2 degrees. Although I like all the features. The magnet could be stronger on the back. It only sticks when you're still in the vent, it doesn't stick to the surface of the vent on the air filter. I think most reviews don't have any other theometer to compare it to. I love Klein but will not buy this product again.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • There is a negative result

Exactly if you have time to wait

Great design but temperature adjustment takes forever. I have other thermometers that acclimate in seconds. This thermometer is accurate if you stand and wait 10-15 mins, but when an HVAC service customer is paying $80 an hour for your time, the last thing they want to see is you just standing there. I wouldn't use other thermometers if they adjusted to temperature quicker because the design is perfect, but time is money.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Accuracy error - kitchen and dining room

I bought this to service an AC split unit. I was glad to see that Klein addressed the main complaint I saw in the reviews about the batteries dropping. There is now a small screw that needs to be removed before you can access the batteries. I thought that was the only problem. When I then checked the ambient temperature, I found that it was anything but normal. I compared it to two other gauges and my HVAC thermostat and they were all at 71 degrees while the new Klein read almost 80 degrees…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Can't remember

DOA - but not quite

It arrived, I removed the plastic that prevents the battery from touching and . Nothing. I took off the batteries. Cleaned up what looked like corrosion, put the batteries back in and voila. It works out. There was another review that said the clip fell off. The clamp on this device is held in place with a screw. Does not rotate to remove. You simply loosen the screw and the clip comes out. One battery is held in the clip and the other in the thermometer. It's as if the company is listening to…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Minor problems

Nearly perfect! the best of thermometers and timers

The product works great and has given me a sense of the different room temperatures in my house, especially when checking the accuracy of my house thermostat. The backlight is nice and the functions are easy to use. I used it one night to check the ambient temperature in my bedroom, accidentally fell asleep with auto-off disabled, and when I woke up it was still rocking! (great batteries) The only thing that didn't impress me and why I can't give it 5 stars is how the protective case works as a

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Some problems

A week has passed. That's what I expect from KLEIN. So tired of branded trash. Looks like the real deal. It's such a tough yet flexible plastic that can withstand an unexpected drop onto a hard surface and maybe stand a chance. Nice open tip protector that allows measurements without removing the cap. A BIG PROBLEM! I'm an air conditioning engineer. and i use these all the time. In my pocket or in my small tool bag, the back detaches too easily --- then the batteries fall out. I finally have…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Quality

It would be ideal!

This would be the best thermometer I have ever used. As a home inspector, I need quality tools with great features to make my job more efficient. The magnetic front is practical. The cover slides open at the back and turns into a small extension to make it easier for me to get to the vents. The backlight is handy so I don't have to pull out the flashlight in darker places. The clip allows you to neatly store the tool on your belt or in your pocket. BUT this thermometer has a FATAL flaw! The…
