    I'd stay away from dollar store temp. guns, the rest seem to work the same.

    Really? So the $20 options work as well as the $50 or $90 options?

    I use a $15-20 temp gun off amazon, and it works great.
    I've tested it with my friend's construction work grade temp gun as well as my chemistry glass thermometer.
    Exactly the same.
