For recipes calling for specific temperatures, the IRT0421 lets you avoid the mess of using a contact thermometer. View larger.

With a 12:1 distance to target ratio, the thermometer measures smaller surface areas at greater distances. View larger.

User-Friendly Thermometer with Advanced Features
The IRT0421 has an advanced and highly accurate infrared sensor with a Distance to Spot Ratio of 12:1. It uses two AAA batteries instead of the 9-volt battery commonly found in less capable units. With its low-voltage, application-specific integrated circuit, the thermometer's battery life is increased by up to 60-percent.

This infrared thermometer provides accurate readings over a broad range of temperatures from -76 to 932 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 to 500 degrees Celsius). It displays both current temperature and maximum temperature on the bright backlit LCD display.

Featuring an ergonomic pistol-grip design and rugged ABS construction for industrial environments, the IRT0421 comes with a nylon holster for easy storage and transportation. This versatile non-contact infrared thermometer has been designed for a broad range of uses, including automotive diagnostics, HVAC service, electrical troubleshooting, cooking and food preparation, and hobbyist activities.

Measure Difficult Targets in Less Than a Second
Speedy. Sanitary. Safe. With the IRT0421, you'll have the ability to measure high temperatures, hazardous and inaccessible objects, and even moving targets, all in less than one second. Accurate readings are as simple as pulling the trigger and aiming. And the thermometer's non-contact design eliminates risk of contaminating or mechanically effecting the target, so you can tackle the job worry-free.

I bought it because of the low price & was surprised to find it works just as well as more expensive Fluke thermometers I've used in the past. It works quickly, has a good distance to spot ratio and it's priced just right. I've used it for everything from spot temp checks of computer equipment to checking my freezer & my ceiling insulation coverage. I would buy the same one again if it were lost or broken.

3.0 out of 5 stars provides a fast ball park measurement, February 2, 2009

This review is from: Kintrex IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting (Tools & Home Improvement)

Simple to use, no set up required.

Product does NOT have adjustable emissitivity which means it can read higher or lower than the real surface temperature depending on the reflective consistency of the surface being measured.

This product is fine for a quick ball park temperature reading and is great to use to scan across a surface to find any temperature deviation like a wall area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Temperature Reading, June 26, 2008

This review is from: Kintrex IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a great product and definitely lives up to its product description. The unit has a solid feel and I don't have the impression that it is a low quality product. Temperature readings are quick and accurate as far as I can tell. It provides many uses such as confirming the temperature of foods to finding heat sources in your home. It has helped me pinpoint the areas in my house that I am losing precious air-conditioning.

My biggest problem with the thermometer is the laser, the infrared temperature reads from a much larger area than the laser points to and until you get used to the unit you may be confused by the temperature reading for areas at a distance of 4 feet or more away.

But all in all a great product.
