Laser Tools has introduced a new Mini Infrared Thermometer that has a wide range of applications in garages and workshops.

The useful new tool (part no: 6838), allows the operator to take non-contact temperature measurements by simply pointing the instrument and pressing a button. This makes it very good for temperature measurement in areas such as vehicle heating and air-conditioning systems, radiator and thermostat function, exhaust manifolds and brakes.

The Thermometer uses infrared technology to quickly measure the surface temperature of objects, providing fast temperature readings without physically touching the object. This means it can be safely used on hot, hazardous, or hard-to-reach surfaces without contaminating or damaging the object. It can also provide several readings in seconds, as compared to contact methods where each measurement can take several minutes.

The unit is compact which makes it especially suited for work where space is at a premium and where accurate focus on the target is required, such as in engine bays and on circuit boards. Temperature is displayed on a clear, switchable, back-lit LCD in both °C or °F. The thermometer has a range of 50-280 °C  and is powered two AAA 1.5V batteries which are included.

The new Mini Infrared Thermometer is available from Laser stockists.
