"Update: As mentioned above, we purchased this because we were experiencing issues with our duct work and wanted to record the differences in wall/ceiling temps in the area where we believed there was a leak. We realized though that they reused some old ducts in our hallway and at the end of the hall was where the energy audit, and this temperature gun, were recording temps several degrees higher than the walls and ceilings just a couple of feet away. When we tore out the sheetrock, we found that at some point one of the duct branches had been changed and, instead of sealing it off, the end was left open and was blowing heated air into the chase, the attic, and my closet!"
"DUAL lasers in a pattern that crosses with one another. The meat in the middle of my freezer was -5 degrees and the icecream on the top shelf was 17 degrees.. That explains the frost/freezer burn my icecream was suffering from!"
"These readings are at the bottom and you can read those from your previous use but the temp at top in your bold numbers will now read the rooms temp as it apparently samples you room temp once it turns itself off? When it goes to sleep mode hit trigger once and release and it will wake up after about a second and you can read the previous readings you took using the small digits at the bottom, and you can scroll through the high, low, and average reading you had taken before with the mode button."
The 117 multimeter measures AC and DC voltage as well as AC and DC amps.

"It's so good to have a digital scale, and an accurate scale thanks to this weight."
"Bought with a brand-new scale which initially measured it at 500.1 g. A known-good 20g weight came in at 19.9."
"Should have been better protected in shipping."
"It's accurate."
"Not sure how to check the authenticity unless I had a a better scale, works for me."
"I was a bit reluctant to purchase this weight after reading a good number of reviews mentioning rust and poor packaging resulting in denting during transit but decided to bite the bullet."
"It's a calibration weight!"

"I was using it to fix an electrical box in a basement the other day, and the clip was invaluable for keeping the light where it needed to be."
"it is also very sensitive, i'm still getting used to it after a month, it's about as reliable as any other hot stick, but it looks pro, and the LED flashlight is nice and bright."
"Odds are it will get more use as a flashlight now that I have all the ceiling fans and lights installed, but it's still worth having around."
"Pros, It works great as a flashlight on the side of my hardhat with the bracket. It also clips nicely to the side of panels allowing free hands. This makes it a Con also because when your in a box with multiple circuits you cant tell which wires are hot and which aren't. With their outstanding reputation Fluke just doesn't cut it in this department."
"It has one function you press the on button and the LED flashlight is on and your suppose to be able to see the red indicator when voltage is present."
"I use these all the time, because there's no other comparable product yet."
"They would be ok to have around the house on a shelf but I wear mine in a case on my belt and use it all day long."

Best Infrared Thermometers
The Standard of Measurement Practical for both indoor and outdoor use, the Lasergrip 774 lets you safely measure surface temperatures from a distance while still maintaining laser-sharp accuracy. With user-friendly operation and a temperature measurement range that surpasses boiling points, the possibilities are endless. Better Accuracy: The Distance to Spot Ratio is 12:1, meaning the Laser grip 774 can accurately measure targets at greater distances compared to most other IR Thermometers. Added Function: The LCD screen is backlit, also has an Auto-Off function to extend the battery life, and features a low battery indicator so you never accidentally run out of juice (battery included).

Find Best Price at Amazon"This device is probably the best single purchase that I have made on Amazon in my three-plus years of Prime membership. It functions wonderfully as a distance thermometer, shining a tiny red dot on what I'm measuring and, based on comparison with a thermoscan camera at work, is pretty accurate across a range of temperatures from 0°F up to about 400°F. The button that turns on the device has a very soft click, barely perceptible, so it won't distract your faithful (or in the case of cats) persistent companions. *Probably won't reliably measure the temperature of flames at a safe enough distance, so don't get too close to fire."
"Etekcity Line of Lasergrip IR Themometers ( 1022D, 800, & 630) compared to Klein IR1000. I am not a Professional HVAC or auto mechanic but I do a lot of work myself on my home and vehicles.. An IR thermometer has many uses. I bought this as a homeowner to verify hot/cold spots around my home. I decided I would go with Etekcity Line IR thermometer based on Amazon Best seller Etekcity 774 (best seller most reviewed and priced very affordable at $16.88). After researching other Etekcity models I found many different options that offered different ranges, features, and spot/distance ratios up to 16:1 with 12:1 being the higher standard and what most higher end brands have.. spot/distance ratios range from 8:1 to 16:1 in this class of IR tool. I submitted a question to them through Amazon and Etekcity responded within the same day offering to call me , as I had a lot of questions..I was able to immediately open a chat conversation with Etekcity customer reps and they were VERY helpful in explaining to me the advantages / differences in all of their IR thermometers. Etekcity 1022D- $19.99 Etekcity Lasergrip 1022D Non-contact Digital Infrared Thermometer, Dual Laser, Blue. my first IR from Etekcity: I like the idea of Dual lasers & adjustable emissivity. Etekcity 800 Lasergrip - $25.98 Etekcity Lasergrip 800 Non-contact Digital Laser IR Infrared Thermometer Temperature Gun, Yellow/Black. Features: Single Laser. 16:1 distance to Spot ratio. Emissivity- FIXED at .95. Range: -58℉ - 1382℉. After a disappointing test of the Etekcity 1022D I read reviews and decided to look at the 800, It features better accuracy at range with a 16:1 distance spot ration. *** Etekcity 630 Dual Lasergrip - $29.99 Etekcity Lasergrip 630 Dual Laser Non-contact Digital Infrared Thermometer, Gray and Black. First impression was how it was packaged in a nice solid cardboard box ( unlike the plastic blister packs of the others including the Klein. The most features, options and in my tests most accurate ( accuracy is negligible between 800 & 630 both are well with in the +/- .5 to 2.0 tolerance). Features: Dual laser for better accuracy. 16:1 Distance to Spot Ratio. Emissivity: ADJUSTABLE. Range: -58℉~1076℉. Multi function menu options ( MAX/Min temp setting, AVG and Diff/ TD). I chose the 630 over the 800 mainly due to the extra menu options ( AVG, MAX, MIn , Diff) adjustable emissivity ,and dual laser aside form that the 800 & 630 perform identically. the 1022D and 774 are priced well at under $20.00 but for more features and higher specs I think one will not go wrong with the Etekcity 800 or Feature rich Etekcity 630."
"I bought this product because I thought my refrigerator was not cold enough, and I saw the tech that previously came out using a lazer thermometer to gauge the temps inside."
