URBEST NR-81532B -50 to 500deg/C K Type Handheld Surface Thermocouple Probe for Measuring The Surface Temperature

I love this surface probe. I'm using it with an Amprobe thermocouple thermometer (not included). It's way more accurate than a temp gun. This is because it uses the thermoelectric effect, which is not dependent on the material properties of the surface being measured. This is in stark contrast to a temp gun. Every material has a different emissivity, so one setting isn't valid on all surfaces, and you can't be completely confident the number you're reading is good.If you're a reptile keeper, I highly recommend you spend the extra money to get a decent thermocouple and this probe.

This works for the job I had for it - Soldering Iron Tip Temperatures. I have a relatively low-powered Weller WP-25 ( 25 watts ) rated at maximum tip temperatures of 400 C. I tested two of my tips and measured 395 C on one tip and 350 C on another. So it's doing what I need. It's a tad slow reaching a stable reading at these temperatures - maybe 10-20 seconds - but I can live with that.

Solid, well made, accurate, easy to use, very inexpensive.

Works as it should with compatible temp meter. Time will tell how durable it is

I wish the yellow cord was longer or more stretchy but other than that it’s perfect.

Started a new shop (MayContainColor.com) and needed a way to verify heat press temp, worked perfectly with my Fluke meter.

This probe is very accurate. It takes approximately 10 seconds to fully read but gives consistent accurate results for such a low price.

Exactly what I wanted much better than other one so use. Fast reading (almost instant) to measure heat press. Saved a lot buying this for our existing meter that can do thermal reading.
