    Temperature gun recommendations?

    New ball owner, and am going to get myself a temperature gun. Looking on amazon.com, tons of choices between $15 and $150 with almost 5 stars "best sellers" and lots of reviews. What are features I should look for to make it worth paying more than $15 for one of these? Anything that makes a difference for my application vs some other application of a temp gun?

    Unfortunately they all appear to have about the same accuracy of +/- 1%.

    Under $20

    There's no reason to spend more than the ones in your $20 range. Any one of those are more than accurate enough for our application.

    That's exactly right.
