So what's going on guys today I wanted to review the Etekcity laser grip 1080 infrared thermometer and this is a tool that I picked up for a very specific reason but I’ve actually found there's just an endless amount of possibilities for what you can use this tool for and kind of one of the most interesting things I’ve used it for my kitchen to measure the correct temperatures to fulfill the requirement of the heating as per the recipe but again there's an endless amount of uses for this you know whether you're grilling whether you're cooking, you know whether you're troubleshooting your hvac system you know it's really endless in terms of what you can use this for but I’ve found it to be really handy to just kind of have in my tool shop and be able to go to it if for some reason I need to figure out what the temperature is of something so just a quick rundown on this is the laser grip 1080.  I picked this up from amazon it was about $30. This Etekcity laser grip is going to be the most highly reviewed and one of the most highly rated infrared thermometers on amazon and that's really the go-to place to get something like this they do have them at home depot I think Milwaukee's got one but it's substantially more expensive so if you want to get one like this I would definitely consider checking out amazon first and then maybe if you wanted to upgrade you could think about a more expensive brand but I’ve  just found that I don't use it enough to justify that kind of price tag I use it a lot but again it's infrequent it's kind of just for random things that come up so definitely check out amazon for something like this and as I said this is the 1080 so it measures negative 58 degrees Fahrenheit to 1080 1080 degrees so this is going to  be good if you're doing any high intensity cooking and even you know barbecuing things of that nature where you might be dealing with substantially higher temperature. There is a little bit lower level version it's the Etekcity infrared thermometer 774 so that's going to measure up to 774 degrees I thought for a few extra bucks it would be good to just get up to 1080 but again you know you're probably not going to be registering temperatures quite that high so to use this you know all you do is from about a foot away you press this trigger and that's going to send out a laser pointer to identify the spot that you want to register and then it's going to give you your degrees 79 degrees on my workbench and as long as you're holding this trigger it's going to give you a live reading if you release the trigger it's going to hold at whatever that last temperature was and it's really a very simple device the only buttons on it are to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit you can turn off and on the laser pointer so it's still going to read without the laser pointer on there. I definitely prefer having the laser pointer it's just kind of a fun thing to see and it helps you kind of identify the area that you're going to be registering the temperature for but you don't have to have it on and then you can turn off and on the backlight display and then in terms of the inner workings the handle comes off and it just has a nine volt battery I think I’ve replaced it once in a couple years so you're not going to be replacing it off and it doesn't use much juice so again guys this is a very simple device I don't use it a whole lot but it's very nice to have and I do use it sporadically and I found a lot of uses  for it. So check it out guys it's on amazon it's one of the most highly rated and highly reviewed devices. Will meet you guys soon with some other useful kitchen / cooking related blogpost.
