Man we have come a long way thru the years.

 

I think we have drug @JAG1's thread off topic. Sure is fun.

It's okay where else can you get away with it? ..... 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?

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.

Better off using an ohm meter on DVM.

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