suggestions for infrared thermometer

Recommended Posts

One obsessions invariably leads to another.

My foray into soldering irons has went its way to embossing presses, which has lead to branding irons, which got me into temperature control devices for both branding irons and soldering irons, which has now got me intrigued about infrared thermometers to check and fine tune the high temperatures required for the above applications.

Can anyone recommend a good infrared thermometer and/or point out any shortcomings I may experience with such devices, such as unexpected difficulty in getting a reliable temperature reading from the tip of a soldering iron?

The price range I was thinking about is $50 and lower. Now, back to Amazon.com to read reviews.

Thanks,

Ed

Harbor Freight has on that works well and goes on sale for half that. I have one I have used for 2 years powdercoating and I am very happy with it.

And somewhere in all of this a kilowatt usage measuring device showed up and has added itself to the list of gadgets I could do without but why should I.

Plus I'm a sucker for free shipping.
