I'm thinking of buying an Infrared Thermometer for checking differential temps. ,tire & brake temps. , exhaust manifold temps. , etc.
I've done a search on the tool forum and turned up nothing. Even went through all the posts that are available.
Have you guys found a reasonably priced unit & what maximum temp. do you need? I suppose it would have to be pretty high for exhaust temps.
Harbor Frieght has a cheap one on sale for $26. 99 (reg. $39. 99) & there is a 20% off coupon, also. So, it's in the $22. 00 range. Only goes up to 485 degs. , though. That would be ok for things other than exhaust manifold temps.
Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these units?
Thanks.

PS: I can't believe no one ever asked about these things.
