Dual-Laser Infrared Thermometer 20:1

The Klein Tools IR10 Dual laser Infrared Thermometer is a handy tool to take temperature readings of most anything. It can read temperatures from -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 1,200 degrees. This thermometer has a backlit screen which my old one did not have and it makes it easier to read under low light conditions. Because infrared thermometers actually measure the temperature based on the infrared energy emitted by a target object, virtually anything can be measured with these devices as almost everything gives off infrared energy. One thing to keep in mind is that energy emitted by an object, its emissivity, can vary depending on the material your taking a reading of. There is an included chart showing the differences of common materials and the thermometer can be adjusted to more accurately determine the actual temperature of what your trying to measure. This thermometer comes with a case that you can attach to your belt loop and carry with you. In addition, it also includes a K-Type probe that can be used to measure temperature. Overall, this temperature gun is rugged, and works well, the instruction guides you on how to properly use it and the rubberized case feels good holding it in your hand. I highly recommended this one.

Klein Tools Dual-Laser Infrared Thermometer model IR10 is a professional dual targeting laser infrared (IR) thermometer. It offers a wide measurement range, a tight 20:1 distance-to-spot ratio, dual targeting lasers, and several calculation modes to facilitate different temperature measurement applications. In addition to measuring temperature using IR emission, it can also measure temperature using a standard K-type probe. Powered by an included 9 volt battery. I tested the Klein Infrared Thermometer on several items to verify its accuracy. While not controlled tests, the instrument demonstrated it was accurate based on the item/surface being measured. As explained in the instructions, some surfaces have a lower emissivity (thermal radiation) and the tool should be adjusted according to the chart provided in the instruction booklet to give accurate results (see photos). I did notice some minor discrepancy between the K-Type Probe and the IR measurement that could well have been operator error. The dual lasers indicate the target area being measured, becoming larger as the distance increases. I question one bit of information provided in the instruction booklet: Under Calibration it states, “Accurate for one year.” Hmm, does this mean that the measurements provided by the instrument are not to be trusted after one year of use? I did not pursue an answer to this question with Klein. I intend to use the tool to measure electrical connections and LiPoly battery temperatures during the build, testing, and after flight of an electric paramotor drawing at peak over 300 Amps. Two year limited warranty. U.S. patent D791,624. Made in China. https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/infrared-thermometers/dual-laser-infrared-thermometer-201

Klein tools are worth the price over the cheaper versions. My no name brand infrared thermometer died after light use and it was time for a new one. This uses two dots instead of one for a more accurate reading but does make checking a small area a little bit trickier. The thermometer also comes with the old school wire/resistive measurement too. This is handy for measuring temperatures down around corners in ducts, in the air, or near surfaces that are too reflective. This is a great package. I received this DUAL-LASER INFRARED THERMOMETER 20:1 for free to write this review.

The Klein dual laser thermometer is a tool that can be useful to the everyday man or woman around the house. I know most people think it is only used by professionals such as A/C repairmen to check temperature exhaust from you a/c vents. I have used the laser to quickly check oil when frying my thanksgiving turkey, I have also used it to determine temps on my glass cooktop. Just remember it is a tool to be used correctly it can cause eye damage If directed at the eyes.

This is a very nice tool/thermometer. Built to some good specifications. I personally liked the idea that it performed min, max, average and differential statistical measurements. I would see using around equipment with bearings to identify tired bearings. I will use around home to identify air leaking windows. It also comes with k type thermocouple and a decent Velcro holster. I would recommend product based upon my past experience. Durably made. A multiuse instrument.

Easy to use laser thermometer with a wide range of functional options. The large rear display updates instantly and is very easy to read with just a glance. The trigger is responsive and has just the right amount of resistance to prevent finger fatigue. It sits comfortably in either left or right hand and packs away into a belt mounted custom fit pouch. The targeting lasers are powerful and easy to see under most lighting conditions. The unit is also dust and water resistant and impact resistant to nearly ten feet. Compared to two other Klein Tools thermometers the IR10 was consistently measuring a degree or two under when using the K type probe and a little bit more under when using laser measurements. This is all within the specified accuracy of plus or minus two degrees using the K type probe and plus or minus three degrees when using the laser measurement.

Works great. Very happy.

Excellent tool, easy to use.

Well built and works well

The device works well, but there is notable difference in accuracy at distance. Also, description should note that eyeglass (mini) screwdriver is required to remove cover for battery.
