Hey everyone, which temp sensing gun should I get? Should it be a laser type or an Infrared type? Also can you will it display ambient at the same time? I would like a good one.

T.I.A.

    Thats coming. We are already starting to cut back on things not needed. Almost completely out of debt. House is paid for. But you never know what the future might hold.

It's okay where else can you get away with it? :thumb1:..... people are just people. Hey you know whenever IBMobile notices a new Snap On in my toolbox, he says, "Mike go up the store and get me a coke, will ya". No he doesn't take stuff.... but he's coming to my place and we are going to put a new roof on his fifth wheel and then do my evaporator core heater core, charge up the AC again. Then we head south in the RVs for fishing, metal detecting and camping. Ain't that cool?

Oh yeah!! Just another readon it's time to go home for me.

I've got a HF IR gun for cheap and the temperatures are fairly correct as long as it calibrated for the material your measuring. There is calibration process for each material. All in the user manual.

I wondering if these heat senor tools are capable of detecting areas of a wire harness that have higher resistance. In other words show wires that need to be increased in size? Or is that for the more expensive units;

 

Another question is it an advantage to have a laser pin point type or IR type with a small screen?

 

Just for spite against IBMobile I'm going to Snap-on today. He'll just have to loan me money for fuel when we go camping.:lol:

Better off using an ohm meter on DVM.

Laser is to show location. The measurement is all Infra-red.
