          Q:would this work to locate bees in a wall ?
          by|Jul 15, 2022
          2 Answers
          Answer This Question

          A:  I don't think so. Unless its warmer where the bees are located.

          by|Jul 20, 2022

            A:  This unit is designed to measure surface temperature of the material it is pointing at, it can not scan behind a surface. The only way you would be able to use this for this purpose would be if the bees are substantial enough in number to cause your side of the wall to rise in temperature.

              Horrible Temp Reading, off by hundreds of degrees.
              Just look at my picture. I wrote the company with no response. I'm running electricity through magnet wire rated at 200C. The manufacturer said 100% that this magnet wire coating would melt at 200C. Well this IR thermometer says its 268C. Obviously wrong as my wire hasn't melted. My basic food thermometer is at 180C which I trust. DO NOT BUY!

                This was exactly what I was looking for. I am not a contractor that uses a tool like this every day so I didn't want to invest a large sum of money; however, I did need to test my cooking stove as the surfaces seemed to be quite hot when the oven was operating. I wanted peace of mind that it was within the standards and not a fire hazard, as it is 45 years old. Subsequently, I found it fun to test other things such as my wood stove. I was most intrigued by the different temperatures taken at various points on the wood stove. Hopefully, I will get many years of use out of this product, but only time will tell. For now, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with similar needs.

                  Very easy to set up. Just install the batteries aim at the hot oil in the pan , pull the trigger and it will display the temperature. Very handy when cooking. Especially when frying to maintain the right heat with out over heating the oil and burning the oil.

                    This tool is straight forward and easy to use. The tool has a red dot laser to indicate exactly where you are taking the reading from. I needed a simple yet effective tool such as this in my role of IT Specialist for a thermal issue with a client's IT cabinet. The tool was spot on, and exactly what I needed.

                      Works well. Was able to determine issue with circuit breaker, based on heat.

                        This thermometer is, of course, easy to use - just point and pull/hold the trigger, and the surface temperature of whatever you are pointing it at appears nearly instantly. The only problem that I found with it is that the batteries died after only two days of non-use, which was after only about twenty minutes of combined usage the day I received it. Other than the batteries dying too quickly, it works perfectly.

                          Easy and intuitive to use. Cheapest in-store option but twice as expensive as an alternative model online.
