Good Quality Temp Gun And Thermometer

[Gem]

Hey guys, I'm after a reliable brand of thermometer or temp gun or both!

I bought the cheapies off ebay and I've given up on them because they are so hit and miss with temps.

Will check a spot with the temp gun and get a reading then check the same spot two seconds later and get a completely different reading. Grrr so annoying!

I guess that'll teach me for trying to go cheap!

Also in everyone's experience what is the most reliable kind of thermometer? Digital or the traditional kind?

I have both but am just curious : )

Thanks!

We bought an IR temp gun from ebay and had no trouble with it. I have heard others have had problems, but we've been lucky.

Try Jaycar. If you have any issues with it you can return it for refund or exchange.

I use food industry thermometers from Jaycar. Only use them in the incubation tubs though or to calibrate the temperature gun.

If money isn't an issue and you want accuracy you can't go past a fluke temp gun. We use them daily at work on High voltage gear and they are flawless . But like I said not at all cheap

Fluke 62 max, one of the most highly rated in the world but $175:00 +/- on Ebay but an awsome piece of equipment. WR

Just my humble opinion but i think a $50 jaycar temp gun would be more than good enough for the application.

I bought a $20 gun off ebay and it seems accurate enough,I don't get different readings every time

This is the thermometer I use, I spent around $50 at a fish and reptile store 1-2 years ago and it's still going strong. I'd definitely recommend it

You can't go past a Fluke, expensive but very good.
