LASERGRIP 1260

I picked up this Etekcity infrared thermometer and it’s been great for the price. It’s super easy to use, just point and pull the trigger, and you get a reading almost instantly. It’s accurate enough for what I need and works well for checking temps on engines, brakes, or around the garage. For something this inexpensive, it feels solid and reliable. It’s not a high-end precision tool, but for everyday use it gets the job done without any issues. These typically have a wide temp range and fast response time, which makes them useful for everything from automotive work to cooking or general diagnostics. Pros • Very affordable • Quick and easy to use • Fast readings • Good enough accuracy for most uses Cons • Not a precision instrument Overall, for the price, this is a really useful tool to have around. I’d definitely buy it again.

This tool is invaluable in my kitchen. I owned one previously, which failed after some years of service. I assumed its batteries had died and sought replacements. When I attempted to buy batteries for the non-working unit, I found I could buy this new and improved (specs) version for slightly less than new batteries for the old one. And of course it would come with brand new batteries. This unit has a wider range of temperatures, and therefore even more utility than its predecessor. No brainer there. It came quickly and I am so pleased to have the function back again. Note that IR doesn't penetrate the surface, so I have a (cheap) tool for checking the inside temp when I cook meats or something that one needs to know the internal temperature of. I would do business with Etekcity again whenever I need one of their products.

... And I love this thing! Last summer I bought this because I was making epoxy kitchen countertops (not as easy as YT might have you think 😬 but... Now I love them). If it could go wrong, it did. Without fail. After the epoxy overheated on the first pour, then sanding it down, I ordered this so I could keep precise track of the state of the chemical reaction. It worked brilliantly. I knew exactly what was happening to each cup of colored epoxy by just aiming and pulling the trigger. Brilliant! But then when the counters were finished and installed, I tucked it into the drawer beside the oven thinking maybe I would find another use. I am a baker, so I am constantly checking temps for bread or cakes, etc. Turns out (as I had suspected previously but could not test), my oven's thermostat is wonky. Sometimes it doesn't heat to the correct temp but the oven's digital screen lies to me. Aggravating, yes, but even more so when you don't know its happening and your sourdough doesn't spring. This infrared thermometer is also handy for a quick confirmation that your liquid is an optimal temp for yeast to rise, or that your some other ingredient has reached perfect temp to be added to a batter, and so on. Baking is a kind of chemistry, and precision temps are critical, so it turns out i now find this little device to be indispensable in my kitchen. Finally, i have also used it for other things around the farm too. Quick check that the chick brooder isn't too hot/cold? Piece of cake. Check how hot some machinery has become for safety? Easy, fast and you don't have to risk a burn because you can stand a safe distance away. Suspect someone has a fever, what a simple way to get quick read (though I still prefer internal thermometers for many things). But this device is so simple to just tap the button and read the temp that its incredibly fast. Absolutely indispensable to our household now! In summary, how did I ever get by without this thermometer? Seriously, I use it constantly! Bought it for a weekend project and now use it almost daily. For the price, this little gadget is totally worth it.

accurate to within +/- 5 degrees. EZ to use

Works pretty good for an infrared thermometer. Easy enough to understand how to use. Battery has lasted quite some time. I believe it is fairly accurate. It's sturdy and built well. And you do get a reading pretty quickly.

Love this thing. I use it on my griddle and to check skillets for temp for cooking. Inexpensive and takes temperature guessing out of equation

This thing works great! Can accurately get temp reads across room. I’m finding more uses for it than I ever imagined.

Very easy to use and useful, I use it in the manufacture of handmade candles and it is my key tool

Been using it everyday months after purchase. it very accurate and very well made.

Fantastic thermometer that looks and performs great. I have used it many times for cooking purposes. To read water temperature and oven surface temperatures for bread making. I highly recommend this as it is fast and accurate. However to get accurate cooking temperature for meats you will still need a meat (or stab) thermometer!

Works like a charm. Sturdy and tough. I use it for a commercial scale equipment temperature measurements where temperatures reach 200 Celsius. Takes between 3-5 to get stable. However the equipment and hot surface distance to be not more than 5 feet. Works for me

El producto viene perfectamente embalado en un blíster que es más que suficiente. Nada más abrir el producto notamos un tacto realmente profesional en el producto, se nota robustez en el aparato a pesar de ser realmente ligero y un tacto gomoso y no de plástico malo que nos da idea sobre su calidad. Lo primero que tenemos que hacer es abrir el compartimento de las pilas (que viene incluida y protegida con un plástico retráctil) y conectarla.

Gran calidad, precision en medicion y acabado. Incluye la bateria 9v para poder utilizarlo desde que lo recibes. Muy practico, facil de usar, pantalla iluminada y medidas en dos unidades. Excelente opcion a un gran precio!
