High Temp Infrared Thermometer -58℉~2732℉ Industrial Pyrometer 30:1 Digital IR Temperature Gauge,Non-Contact High Temperature Gun for Kiln,Forging,Engine,Industry and Home Repair.

Works great for measuring the temp in my knife forge.

My best friend is mechanic and only buys Snap-on tools. Snap on everything. Unfortunately for him, when I bought this it was much cheaper. About a quarter of the price really, and more accurate. Oh, did I mention the temperature goes higher on this laser temp gun than the Snap-on one? I use it to see how hot my furnace is getting when I'm melting metal. The double laser dot system is fantastic! Use your friendly, and accurate as far as I can tell

This thermometer has the wider, more specifically, the higher temperature capabilities I need for heat treating steel. It also has high and low alarms, it will record and remember 12 readings, show the high, low, difference, and average. It includes a flashlight, but it's too dim to be useful to me. Everything seems to work well, and I got several features that I didn't expect so that's all good. It's accurate, at least at room temperature; I measured the wall next to my Nest thermostat, both read 73. The main problem for me and the reason I had to drop a star was the instructions. I've bought more than a few things from China, and typically I can decipher the instructions, but these were very poorly written symply didn't mention a lot of things. I had to do a lot of playing around before I could even switch from c to f. I still haven't figured out how to activate the back light on the display. I guess the good news was that I "discovered" many of the other features. I can't speak to long term durability/hard use, but the product seems to do what was promised, maybe even more, but it's going to be up to you to figure out how to access everything.

Works well. Got this for pit firing. Also checking incubators and brooders.

Does what they say it does.

Easy to use, accurate enough.

Update: Do NOT buy this if you want to measure high temperatures. It does NOT measure the full stated range. (I tried two of them and neither would measure over about 2300 - 2400F (actual temp. Unit readout will show roughly 2450F before returning an error, which is way over even the "optimistic" margin of error. My platinum thermocouple was showing 2315F when this showed an error code indicating a reading too high. And yes, I had the emission value set correctly.) Aside from the fact that the high temperature (2000F+) readings fluctuate considerably, it seems to generally work okay at temperatures below 2000F (maybe), but is annoying to use. Or it at least displays numbers, unlike at temps above 2300F. Multi-use buttons are a raging pain and the screen is basically unreadable without the backlight unless your lighting is perfect. As an FYI, if you happen to have the mode in "REC" (which doesn't function on this particular model) the backlight will NOT turn on, making it very easy to accidentally screw things up while trying to change modes to activate the light. My unit keeps giving a "LO" alarm when measuring temperatures above roughly 2300F, in spite of the fact that I have the low alarm temp set to 0F and the high alarm set at maximum (2732F). (I'm trying to measure my glassmaking furnace temperature.) At lower temperatures it seems to work okay, but accuracy is still suspect. I bought two of these and they measure quite a bit differently even when set up exactly the same). Why it says "LO" at high temps is puzzling. The user manual is absolutely no help. Maybe my unit is defective? (Update: I bought a second one to test against the first when it failed to work correctly. The second one is even worse and has now been returned.) Unfortunately, I waited too long to return the first one, as my glass furnace was turned off for the summer and I didn't use the pyrometer at high temps until I turned the furnace back on recently. Unsurprisingly, the user manual (4 small pages in English) is the standard Chinese trash. In other words, it is basically useless. Very light on user info. If I were to do things over, I would definitely NOT buy one of these. If you are smart you will opt for a higher quality pyrometer that isn't low budget, generic Chinese garbage. If anything changes as I use the unit more, I will revise this review. But I'm not optimistic. By the way, did I mention how much I HATE the multi-function buttons? [Update: It is even worse than my original review indicated. An absolute waste of money! I have returned the second one I bought. The first one, which is past the return date, will likely just go into the trash. A $70 lesson learned.] Edit: Regarding that last paragraph prior to the updated part, now that I have more experience with it, I have revised my two star rating downward to a single star. Since both the first and second units I bought constantly return a "LO" error when trying to read my glass furnace temperature, they are basically useless to me. Nor do I trust the readings at lower temperatures that don't cause the error. Repeatability seems pretty questionable and my two units do NOT come close to matching each other when reading the temperature of the same object. I doubt that either one of them is accurate. I also STRONGLY suspect that these are lower temperature units intentionally mislabeled by an unscrupulous seller.

I really like this thermometer and it has a lot of features. Easy grip and simple to fire off. The 4 stars are for my learning curve when trying to use this on molten or liquids.

je m'en sert en fonderie , très précis ,l'infrarouge me donne la température de l'endroit visé .

Unfortunately, the first thermal gun I received gave wildly inaccurate readings but after a quick email exchange with the company where they helped troubleshoot the issue, they determined the product was defective and immediately dispatched a replacement. I was quite amazed by their responsiveness. The replacement gun arrived within a few days like they said and it is working well. We use it to check the temperatures of our backyard pizza oven and are very happy with it.

I opened the box and inserted the battery. Immediately, I noticed that the buttons were not functioning properly, with some not working at all. I couldn't get the backlight to turn on; that button is completely dead. The laser button would work sometimes, but it required multiple presses to respond. However, my biggest concern was when I measured the temperature of the wall in my office, which should be 20.5 degrees Celsius, and it registered at 37 degrees Celsius. When I took the temperature of the back of my arm, it displayed an alarming 48 degrees Celsius. I will be returning this product immediately.

Lorsque j'ai déballé le thermomètre et que j'ai inséré la batterie fournie avec l'appareil, celui-ci ne fonctionnait pas. J'ai remplacé cette batterie par une autre et le thermomètre a fonctionné normalement. Cependant, lors de ma 2e utilisation, encore une fois, il ne fonctionnait pas. J'ai de nouveau remplacé la batterie et il s'est mis à fonctionner normalement. Alors je vais l'utiliser encore quelques semaines et je verrai s'il y a un problème qui fait en sorte que la batterie se décharge rapidement. Pour le reste, ce thermomètre semble répondre au besoin de précision de température.

Understand how to properly use this tool, as it may be misleading if you don't.
