Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fluke 62 Mini Infrared Thermometer
Customer Review: infared thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a easy to use and easy to understand unit. It is rugged and reliable. The price is reasonable for the features and accuracy.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.
Customer Review: Very slick (but check out the Raytek MT6)
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Raytek (RAYMT6) MT6 Mini Temp Infrared Thermometer, which I love, and which seems to be the same thing as the Fluke 62, but for a lot less money. See my review for the MT6, which should be applicable to this item as well. I prefer the look of the Fluke version, but if I can save $35, I'll deal with having one that's black and gray.
Note that when I did some research I found that the ?1% stated in the description is misleading. Fluke's own specifications state that the 1% is only valid between 50-86?F. The complete specs are:
10?C to 30?C (50? F to 86? F): ? 1?C (2?F)
Outside 10? C to 30? C (50?F to 86?F): ? 1.5?C (3?F) or ? 1.5% of reading, whichever is greater.
Below -10?C (14?F): ?2?C (4?F)
This is still good, but since the 1% is only valid over a 36? range of temperatures that aren't really that interesting, the 1.5% is more realistic.
Customer Review: The coolest gizmo you never knew you needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to assist me in honing my chocolate tempering skills as regular candy thermometers are such an amazing pain to use, but it ended up improving my cooking even further by alerting me to the fact that the thermostat on my oven was consistently off by nearly 40 degrees. I've no doubt it will come in handy the next time I think I have a fever, find some faulty weatherstriping or suspect an electronic component of overheating, too. It's well-built, accurate and its UI does pretty much everything right by default. My one complaint is that you have to open up the battery compartment to move the tiny little dip switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius--I personally think a recessed bubble switch on the housing would have been a wiser choice.
The package Amazon sent me was DUSTY beyond belief, so I have a feeling they don't sell too many of these, but everything inside the blister pack was in perfect working order.
Customer Review: Easy to Use
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my business and it has come in handy several times. Its very easy to use and its interesting to know surface temp on just about anything. I pull cable for a living and it helps me to know how hot an area is (such as an atic) before going up there. Fluke is a name I can trust and that was the big reason why I purchased this.
