PE-1 Temp gun
What do you think of this temp gun for $30.00 shipped?
I use a digital thermostat with probe in each cage, I place the probe on the hot spot on the substrate and the thermostat on the cool side up on the wall.
I was finally thinking of getting a temp gun and wanted to know any reviews, pros and cons on this item?

I have the older version of it. It works well for me. I just need rought temp measurements. If you need precise temps you are going to have to get a more expensive infrared laser temp gun.

Temp guns last a long time, I think if you can afford the extra money get a Raytek mini with a laser.... much more user friendly IMO.

I got the PE temp gun also and it's been great for spot checking temps in my racks and cages. I think they are well worth 25 or 30 bucks.

I use this type from a car shop, before all these new styles came up but soon I will evolve to the new design.
Soon hoping after Christmas.

I bought a PE-1 and it's great! The more money you spend, the more likely you are to get a good quality tool but this little unit will do the trick for 95% of keepers.
