    Temp Gun
    I'm working up to getting a small rack soon and I've finally decided to invest in a temp gun, but I don't know which one to get. I do most of my supply shopping online, so the selection is pretty varied. Which temp guns do you guys use or would you recommend?

    Don't need anything fancy mate. The ones that cost £10 are as good as the ones that cost £50. For this purpose anyway.

    Totally agree with the above post. I got mine from Ebay for about £10 and it works fine.

    alrighty then ^_^ I just know sometimes the cheapest thing isn't always the best thing to buy, but I guess in this case that's not true.

    Bought one of mine a long (like 12 years ago) time ago from a little under $200 off my SnapOn truck.
    I just bought a second one not too long ago from Home Depot for about $60....> http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Too...1000/202330832

    My favorite temp gun out of mine is the South Wire 12:1 dual laser. Very accurate especially with the adjustable emissivity. They cost $80 at Lowes but on eBay you can find them for $20-$30 new, that's where I bought mine. The link below is the specs of it from South Wire website but you can find it for sale on eBay by searching South Wire 31030S.

    I have the same one, and it's great.
