Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fluke 62 Mini Infrared Thermometer
Customer Review: Great Item that Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I had purchased an inexpensive IR thermometer before I got this one, and was very unhappy with it, as it was inaccurate and inconsistent. I decided to get the best so I got the Fluke 62 Mini a month ago from Amazon. I am very pleased with the performance of this product. I have compared it with thermometers and aimed it next to them, and the readings are accurate and very consistent between the same repeated uses. It feels well made and comes with the 9-volt battery needed for operation, and a carrying case with a belt loop. I would recommend this item to anyone that wants a good IR thermometer and a relatively inexpensive price for what you get.Customer Review: So many uses...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little tool. I've used it to find the optimum settings on pellet stoves and kerosene heaters, check chimney temperatures, and also to track down cold spots in the house. It has also used with decent results for brewing beer :). The temperature accuracy seems to be around +/- ~2F when compared with mercury thermometers. It's big enough that it is hard to loose. The 9V battery is a good idea because it's a common size, and lasts a long time. The case is rugged enough, but it would be better if it were waterproof. The laser pointer is a great feature, but it's not always needed so it would be nice to be able to turn it off.Customer Review: Remote a temp.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a REAL man toy. I have these at work and played with them there. We always have to pass it around for a bit of fun. Had to have one at home for computer, house leaks, fore heads, engine temps, fireplace, and dog butts. Seems to target well at about 10 feet, further than I expected. Just about instant reading and remembers highest seen. Has trouble going through glass, DUH!. Verified temps with house temp sensors, always within a half degree. As a toy its great, as a tool it's a hundred times easier than a probe, no waiting, no juggling meters. The only problem is at a work place it has legs.Customer Review: Works great very simple
Summary: 5 Stars
This simple product is a great point and shoot thermometer. No computer geeky stuff. No color changing. Just here's the temperature and here's the max over the time you held the button down. Accurate to the tenth degree relatively. I mean, go back to the same ten spots and it will read the same temperature over and over again to the tenth. Even a very simple minded person can figure it out in seconds.
Nothing like it for instant checks of accurate temperature at a distance.
By the way, it found the leak.
Customer Review: Useful and Sturdy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great tool. I bought it to experiment with maintenance and troubleshooting procedures on large diesel engines, transmissions and chain drive systems, planning to buy a more expensive, industry-hardened version if it proves useful. It is useful, but still haven't felt the need to upgrade.
I've also used it in miscellaneous projects -- located roof leaks, checked body temperatures of self and family; scanned horses legs for injuries; and probably something entirely different today or tommorrow.
