Temp Gun Reviews?

[Shadraak]

i know the PE series is very good and i think the only diff between the pe-1 and pe-2 is the laser that shows you what you're reading temps on...

but now zoo med has come out with their own the

kinda curious on everyone's thoughts...if you've used the new zoo med one at all or both would be better.

I have a Raytech temperature interferometer I got on eBay really cheap. I would be lost without it!

PE-1 all the way. I love that thing. Good price and I've checked it against several different digital thermos and it's spot on.

As far as I know, the main difference between the PE-1 and the Raytech (besides the price tag) is that with the PE-1 the temps need to be measured right on the surface of whatever is being measured, where the Raytech is accurate +/- .02 degrees at 2-4 inches away from the surface. I think for the price and accuracy, the PE-1 is probably the better product for most of our applications. If you can pick up a Raytech for under $50 shipped, that would be my choice because it is more versatile.
