new toy a laser thermometer

Had one for a while,they love to give false readings:(

Start checking parts of the car after a long run and it will probably give you a few things to worry about.:D

That you don't need to worry about...:):D

And for guys in our game,just a bit of spit on the discharge line,and compresser shell, is the easy accurate test,works fine...!

Ha ha ha..... yea you could tell if the system had 12 or 502 in it by how quick it sizzled away....... still have the habit of doing that even with all the digital test gear I have now I still can't resist touching a pipe with a wet finger....old habits die hard hey Paul

yep a fellow fridgy, I have a fluke one - next one will be a thermal imaging camera, about a zillion $$ more expensive but great for normal work and doing consultancy work.
