Temp guns

What brand temp gun do you use? Seems there are a ton of them out there ranging from $30-$200, and I'm wondering if there are any out there to avoid and any that are preferred. I'd like to get an inexpensive one, but not one that isn't going to work or is going to break shortly after purchase.

I have the PE-2. GREAT temp gun.

I use the Raytek MT-4. I got it new off eBay for I think $35. It's a great temp gun!

I have the PE-1. A fine little temp gun that works great... now I just have to figure out how to mount it on an extension pole with a lever to press the button for measuring temps in rack tubs. :D

I have the 412L.

My fiance makes fun of me because sometimes I just walk around the apartment with it to figure out the temp of everything. Its kinda fun and they're great for finding the temps in enclosures. :gj:

Amazon sells the pe2 for $33 (they also have the same thing for $45 :confused:) so I think I'm going to go with that model

I have this one: http://www.reptilebasics.com/412L-IR...r-p-16288.html. Works great!! :gj: Dogs love to chase the beam also :D

i have the PE-3, but there is others you can get for 20$ that will work just fine

That's it, me too I guess. Really works good, worth the $$$$$ :gj:

PE 1 is perfect for me. It was available at the local shop and was around 20 bucks. Couldn't ask for anything more. If I wanna know the temp of something I'll just stick my hand in, no need for a 20 dollar laser.

Yup, PE-1 here as well.

The only downside is the 1:1 ratio. If you want to take the temp of something small (for instance, I check to make sure my F/T have been reheated to at least 90), you need to be real close.
