Surprisingly Good Thermometers

I bought this in a gold box deal for only half the current price in September 2013, about sixty two dollars, something to keep in mind. He replaced another device that did not survive. a new move and was difficult to use. Used to detect heat leaks in the home, it finds cold/hot leaks on windows, doors etc fairly quickly. Of course the closer you get the narrower the area to check gets, ideal for locating really small leaks. His instructions are reasonable, not so detailed that you have to shake your head and not so sparse that you don't have a key. It came with a 9 volt battery installed which surprised me, unboxed it, pulled the trigger and started testing. To be honest I have no idea how accurate it is in its measurements but it is within a few degrees on a pot of boiling water and that was good enough for my purposes. For the price I paid for it, it will more than pay for itself. with some properly applied sealant, replacing door panels, slightly slipped insulation, etc.

Pros
  • Typical uses include food preparation and cooking, outdoor cooking, automotive diagnostics, HVAC maintenance, electrical troubleshooting, industrial equipment maintenance, fire protection, thermal leak detection in homes, and enthusiast applications.
Cons
  • I will write later
