I saw an audio/visual presentation where the presenter used his IR temp gun as a laser pointer. Who knew you could measure temperature with one of these things?

I bought one because of you guys :).

Used it yesterday to check my laundry dryer to see if thermostat was working now. Clothes at 143 degrees -- just perfect!

I bought mine to check for radiator blockage when I was having overheating problems. So far so good radiator is 20 years old with no blockage.

One of my sons uses his to measure the temperature of oil in a skillet when he fries something.

I bought mine to keep tabs on wheel/hub temps; this info is like getting a 'two-fer.'

Awesome post.
Final notice from MasterCard. Good! I'm sick of hearing from them.

I couple of degrees lower, and it would have been ice cold. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Look what you made me do, I had to go pour one of the beers I made. I like some of them a little warmer, it's a hoppy beer, similar to an ipa.
