I agree. I have been a service technician for 20 years, and you almost ALWAYS get what you pay for when it comes to tools. I have bought tools for $xxx and they broke within a year. Then I have replaced that tool and bought a similar industry leading quality tool for DOUBLE the price and it lasted for a decade or more of heavy use. So in the long run, expensive tools are not only better quality, but a better value in the time. With electronics it is no different. Generally the higher end electronic tools like an infrared thermostat will be as high quality as the price tag.
