FYI
Ok, you know you're a geek when you get exicted about a low priced tool that works. But I figured someone else on CC may need a tool like this.
I recently set out to find a cheap $20 digital temp probe (not IR type) and found Harbour Freights DVOM comes with a K-type thermocouple for measuring temps. This will be perfect to check and verify inlet/outlet air and liquid temps in my cooling system. I can even measure surface temps of the side pipe to tell the nurse in the ER exactly how hot it was when my leg touched it !
I tested it and its accurate. This whole kit was cheaper than buying the k-type probe for my existing DVOM in my toolbox, so what the heck, $20 for the hobbiest it's fine, would not survive in a pro shop though.
