    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 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.

    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.

    Re: Temp guns

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