Harbor Freight Infrared Laser Thermometer
Has anyone used this Harbor Freight Infrared Laser Targeting Thermometer? If so, how accurate was it and has it lasted? If you have one, has it been helpful in spotting bearing and tire overheating?...

I've had mine for several years....and just used it again the other day.
I just had a new T-stat installed with a new A/C unit at home....I used the gun to check the wall temp next to the T-stat, and it was spot-on as far as temps were concerned.
I don't know just how well it is calibrated, but this one was within 1-degree (actually exactly)...so it could be that others are of a degree or two?
Worth the money...YES!!! Great for testing the brakes, tires, bearings, etc for RVers.
Especially since you are really looking for differences...not an exact temp.
Ex.: One set of brakes is 100-degrees hotter than the rest.....that would indicate a possible problem.
