Best temp gun under $100

Just checked my AcuRites against each other, found a spread of 4 degrees :mad:

Please share your experiences with temp guns, which are good, any that should be avoided? I want to make the switch, but I don't want to spend a fortune. Thanks!

4 degrees between 2 Acu-rites actually means that they are working within their manufacturer specs. (+/- 2 degrees)

The 412L and 412LX are both very good.

I just feel like it's too much variance for comfort, I can't be sure if my hot spots are at 90 or 94. Thanks for the link, I'll check those two out.

I have a few of the 412Ls and they work great.

I have this model. Works great. And i find myself just using it for other stuff around the house too. Well worth the $50 :gj:

Picked this one up a while back.
Good reviews. Seems to do pretty good.

Just ordered the 412L, thanks!

You'll love it. And rich will have it to you in a few days. :gj:

You'll be surprised at how much fun it is to play with a temp gun. First time I got mine I was taking the temps of everything, including the cats, who didn't appreciate having the thermometer pressed against their heads.

You can also find them at home depot fairly reasonable

They sell them at auto parts stores

Temp guns are all about the same accuracy wise most are +\-2 F. The difference is the DS ratio and battery types. Typically with royals the DS ratio 1:1 is fine 2 or 4 to 1 are as well. It just changes the optimal distance. Remember they come calibrated to measure objects about the reflectance of a brown paper bag.

Some accurites are specs at 2 degrees C so a 4 degree spread isn't too bad it could be 8.
