These temperature guns are essential to my job as a dyno technician. When processing and testing engines that are built for customer orders, i run them for 60 seconds before a full break in period. During those 60 seconds, I am able to expect 250-400 degrees of heat to be sent into the exhaust manifolds. I measure the manifolds with the temperature sensor to judge roughly the potentially weakest or least efficient cylinders. This often leads to valve adjustments and other interesting observations. With this tool I'm able to yield a higher quality product for my customer. The tool I use at work is the Klein unit.
I use the Fluke 62 Max+ the fast response when going through the 8 headers is worth any money to me, but i also like to finish and how compact. Got mine for $130 in 2017 now $190 or $263 for the new 64 Max.
I have an Ames from Harbor Freight. I changed my van's thermostat twice and thought my temp gauge was bad. But nope--just that POS Ames thermometer--a full 8 degrees off. Love these videos!
I've needed to know this for a long time!!!, I'm Buying one Today now! lbvs. Not so long ago these Temp Guns we so expensive, but once they came down in price the new challenge was figuring out which ones actually work.
Another great comparison Todd, I wish I was 25 instead of 75, I'd have the nicest collection of tools that could be imagined. At the best prices to boot! I must say that many of my old tools can't be matched by a lot of the new stuff. My granddads anvil is 120 years old. Thank you very much for your dedication and work, you have the best comparison channel anywhere to be found.
ThermoPro Tp450 for 40$ is the unit I use...And it reallly pissed off the Hvac tech when I used it to check my vent and it was as accurate as the thermometer he put in.Ty again for all the hard work,Farm for President 24
If ranked, i suggest AA gets first place, AAA gets second place, and 9v battery gets third place. Most places/people have AA and AAA batteries on hand but may need a special trip to the store for 9v batteries.
note: InfraRed thermometers measure on InfraRed EMISSIONS, which are VASTLY DIFFERENT between different materials, that's why you usually get paper tape or something similar to act as the "thermal probe" and measure the temperature of the tape which has a known infrared emission.
This would actually be interesting for PF, especially if he tests actual Ultrasonic tooth brushes instead of the "Sonic" vibrating ones. Only 3 Ultrasonic tooth brushes are Emmi-Dent, Megasonex and Smilex. Ultrasonics do NOT use vibrating bristles to remove plaque at 50Khz, they use 1.6Mhz frequency which does not seem to feel as though it is moving, but causes plaque/calculus to simply dissolve. These make no sound, do not vibrate noticibly, and are benign enough that they are the gold standard in Cat/Dog dentals because they are beyond hearing range and the pet/human feels nothing. At $200 average, these are much more expensive than an Oral-B, etc, however they usually have a lifetime warranty and the benefit is less gum erosion as you get older and an almost Dentists office cleaning every time you use it, which means long term cleaner, healthier teeth and as white as possible aside from a professional whitening treatment. I'd rather pay upfront the one time $200 and get 10+ years of almost dentists visit cleaning every day vs $60-80 for the regular sonic with the general gum wear and tear and replacing that unit every 5 years anyway.
Electric toothbrushes are a gimmick my granma has had hers for 20+ years the kick of the motor is unmatched still holds charge and the ones of today don't rotate as much you gotta buy things pre planned obsolescence
As a certified water damage tech, I'm used to seeing a lot of these same brands in the area of thermal cameras and moisture meters. Sometimes the winner is the mid-tier no name brand from china that uses high end components, as I found with thermal cameras. Some of the worst performers and value are in the big name 'trustworthy' brands, that in reality have cheap, out of date components and sensors.
As usual a comprehensive review. I would like to see a comparison of thermal imaging cameras both independent handheld and ones that use a smart phone.
Sometimes you get what you pay for but the small difference in performance between the best and a cheaper alternative makes the decision clear to pass on the top of the line model. Thanks for the time in the putting together the review!
@ProjectFarm absolutely it's not that I've been waiting on you I've just been shopping for 1 for a while and now for $9 you made the decision much easier 👍
Thermal cameras would be my expensive idea. Stand alone handhelds or ones for iOS/android. I’m in the market for iOS version. Thank you for your videos I watch every one even if I don’t use what you’re testing,still enjoy watching. Thank you sir for what you do.
This came at the best time. I had been looking to get one of these recently after seeing them used on Pikes Peak to check people's breaks. As predicted, the cold weather and my sharp elbow cracked the leather in our truck. Would love to see one of your reviews on leather repair kits. They help tremendously when making a purchase. Thank you for all the time you put into them. ✌️
Your hard work that goes into these tests do not go unnoticed, every time i see a conversation about what tools are good the keyword Project Farm comes up. Keep up the great work!
almost any 'additive' you put in your fuel, oil or water are not as good as just the regular oem stuff. If your car requires higher octane, you pay for the higher octane fuel. Edit: except 'heet' grew up in North Dakota. That was a staple lol!
Being a service tech for hot tubs for a decade I use extech thermometers. They have always been accurate and hold up to carrying every day for mobile work. There is a huge variation between brands and people think their temperature is off on their tub. The closest ones for hot tub temps people buy on their own tend to be ones they buy at a drugstore for taking your temperature for a fever. The ones you buy from a hardware store or a pool store tend to be the most inaccurate other than meat thermometers
Emissivity is essential to consider when looking at IR thermometers. Black body radiation is where these are supposed to be calibrated, and the adjustable emissivity on some of these units is the clue. You should be setting these for each different surface.
I love playing with these things. Not sure what I would even use one for, but thank you! Edit: thanks for all the suggested uses. My scope was too limited before this video :)
I take one wilderness camping for inside homemade trailer temperature readings to know where my weaknesses are in insulation and then to know how cold it is outside in the morning.
I use them to test the temp on my rotors if I ever think one is sticking. I also use it to check temps on muffler so I know what temp paint to use on what area.
There's a smaller AMES device from HF that's 25$, I bought mine for 12$ a few months back. I didn't really have a specific use in mind when I bought it but its more of a "Is this hot" check and less about accuracy but good to know that these things in general do their jobs well.
I bought a parts-store-brand labeled point and click thermometer over 20 years ago and it lived in the diaper bag. My kids never went down a too-hot slide. It lives in the kitchen tool drawer and still gets used regularly. I have no idea how accurate it is, but putting a spot of blue masking tape helps it read on shiny things like canning kettles. It has one laser dot and zero controls. It cost about $50 in 2001 dollas.
Damn, I was just looking for one, perfect timing! Also, would it be possible to do a video on thermal imagers in the future? Thanks in advance and always appreciate the content!
I have used these type temp testers for years. If the ambient temperature is to cold these things do not work or are terribly inaccurate. I use these outdoors in cold weather and they are useless when it gets very cold outside. I wonder if there is a difference in brand in functional operating temperatures. Take them in a walk in freezer and see if they function properly. Or a very high outdoor temperature. The other thing I find useful is how far away they will function accurately. I have a need some times to see the temps of some things up to 25 feet away. But good things to know about these different brands.
Often many products seem to come from the same production line, even with brands like Ryobi. Would be interesting add a group picture when this happens.
You should test if the distance to spot area is accurate, by placing a round hot object on something cold. The aim in the center of the hot object. If the Laser is off or the distance to spot area is wrongly advertised, you should see the cold object behind the hot object to affect the measurements.
Missed the drop test! Some of these are used for troubleshooting HVAC systems and often above ladders and it is not unusual to see them dropped once in a while. If only the Fluke had a tighter distance-spot ratio. Now hope the local region online shopping website has the T600!
For an accurate temperature for calibration of thermometers in the future, just use ice water made from distilled water. The temperature of that mix of materials is guaranteed to be at 32F or 0C. normal drinking water/ice will be very close to the same temperature.
When he gave the temperature range for the first thermometer as -58 degrees to 900 degrees, I was actually worried he was going to follow that up with _"-and we're going to test that!"_
Of course there is the question of consistency and long term stability which are not tested. You'd have to buy a bunch of the same product trying to get as many different lots as possible then test them over a long term. One reason expensive things can be expensive is because you're suppose to get the same product every time.
Video suggestion. Glass cleaner to clean the haze that builds up on the inside of car windows. I had found one that worked for years until they changed the formula. Side note: Industrial use Windex still has ammonia.
I've owned Fluke products before, and they are generally very good, even regardless of the price. For a future comparison, please try to include the brand ThermoWorks.
In my last three HD runs, in two states, one next to corporate, only this weekend I finally found the Klein gun in stock after some convincing of employees. Toyed with it around the fire and whatnot, and right as I wondered "how good is this against the Milwaukee" I only thought of you doing a video like this. Thanks for reading my mind, then!
Hey, would be great to have a Spanish version of these! I know lots of guys who speak Spanish that would love this (could get you a few million more subscribers 🤔) Auto translate doesn't work btw
I bought t600 before 2 years and i thought it a piece of junk but i heard ( very impressive) 👍 Suggestion : -bolts loctite comparison - impact angle sockets
Great work and honest and well-presented review, as ever. Interesting to see variability at different temp areas, (hot, mid and cold) and also the variety of temp ranges. I'm more interested in comparative temps and recently bought an affordable-ish FLIR thermal camera that attaches to my phone. It's not perfect and doesn't have a great range, but it's useful for the comparative work I want to do. Very impressive review here!
Additional "practical" test would be using these to measure temperature of a BBQ grill. I use mine for that and also measuring the temperature of house AC outlets.
Could you try including the brand UNI-T in future measuring tool tests? they make a crazy amount of equipment for a really affordable price, its quite popular to order them online and i always wondered how they stack up against the rest.
I've had a Klein IR07 for a long time. It has a probe and a laser. Use it for cooking or anything else. It's lasted like 8 years. for 20 bucks it's all you need
I have a U.S. built Raytek IR thermo that's over 20 years old. Still works like new. Not sure if they're still made, but quality tools are cheaper in the long run.
I got a bunch of NIST certified ones. Each year we have to either recertify them or get new ones. For $50 more than a recertification we just get new ones each year.
Great video as always! I'd love to see some gear oil tests! I have a vehicle with a transfer case that only holds 0.5 quarts and I'd love to know how well Motorcraft holds up against the competition!
Hey Todd... You should consider posting clips of your videos on products that are also sold on Amazon, maybe you can get a decent return on them there as well...
Fun fact , this is the next thing i am about to buy for exhaust runners 😅... ya sold me on a dang 9 dollar t600 😂... guess the terminator really are a boss 😎 😅.. much respect and thanks brotha .. peace and love all, keep it rad, stay safe, and build on..l8r famz and keep having fun all

thank you Todd. One of my top 3 channels. We all love what you bring to the table. The TRUTH... Tell cousin Eddie hey
Our pleasure!
what are the other 2 channels out of curiosity?
Test Idea: Electric Toothbrushes - Oral B, Sonicare, Aquacare, cheap ones, etc. and the different models of each.

Happy to help!
Same here but in this case I was going to be researching for an IR thermometer today so I was VERY happy to see this notification.
I bought a parts-store-brand labeled point and click thermometer over 20 years ago and it lived in the diaper bag. My kids never went down a too-hot slide.
It lives in the kitchen tool drawer and still gets used regularly. I have no idea how accurate it is, but putting a spot of blue masking tape helps it read on shiny things like canning kettles. It has one laser dot and zero controls. It cost about $50 in 2001 dollas.
Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate the detailed comparisons between different infrared thermometers. It really helped me understand the pros and cons of each model.
I’ll definitely be referring to this when I make my purchase!
As an alternative, consider looking into dual-laser thermometers, which can provide even more precise measurements for different surfaces.

I'm more interested in comparative temps and recently bought an affordable-ish FLIR thermal camera that attaches to my phone. It's not perfect and doesn't have a great range, but it's useful for the comparative work I want to do. Very impressive review here!
Thanks.
My pleasure!
Additional "practical" test would be using these to measure temperature of a BBQ grill. I use mine for that and also measuring the temperature of house AC outlets.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the great testing.
You are welcome!
Could you try including the brand UNI-T in future measuring tool tests? they make a crazy amount of equipment for a really affordable price, its quite popular to order them online and i always wondered how they stack up against the rest.
I've had a Klein IR07 for a long time. It has a probe and a laser. Use it for cooking or anything else. It's lasted like 8 years. for 20 bucks it's all you need
Thanks for sharing.
best and biggest shop light? something bright enough to cover a whole wheel well when doing brakes?
Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome. Both of the ones at work read different. We might need to upgrade. Thanks for doing the leg work! Cheers from Wisconsin.
Our pleasure!
I have a U.S. built Raytek IR thermo that's over 20 years old. Still works like new. Not sure if they're still made, but quality tools are cheaper in the long run.
Thanks for sharing!
Love it! Thank you
Thank you!!
Can we do best non motorized push lawn mowers :)
Thank you for the video idea!
On error in your reflective surface testing. You should cover any reflective surface with masking tape to obtain a more accurate reading.
Love the videos
Thanks!
I got a bunch of NIST certified ones. Each year we have to either recertify them or get new ones. For $50 more than a recertification we just get new ones each year.
Thanks for sharing!
I miss your lawnmower engine tests
Great video as always! I'd love to see some gear oil tests!
I have a vehicle with a transfer case that only holds 0.5 quarts and I'd love to know how well Motorcraft holds up against the competition!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great video, Todd!
Thanks!
I've been very pretty happy with my Klein IR1 other than it's not good for cold temps. May pick up that T600 to supplement it for colder temps.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hey Todd... You should consider posting clips of your videos on products that are also sold on Amazon, maybe you can get a decent return on them there as well...
Harbor freight also has an Ames 12:1 thermometer for $23, would have loved to see that tested (that's the one I have 😂) I got it on sale for $13
Good morning!!!!!
