I've got a infrared temp gun in hamilton :/

Ask the local HRV guys, all their vans should have them.

haha nah - some of us have to work..

its for work/customers car anyway.. not really my problem just trying to be helpful. Company can buy their own one or pay me hourly to pull the rest of the ventilation setup apart to be able to touch heater core with my hand

Im pretty sure .. Truck stops might have one... I can't remember they might be swayed by a box of piss

Another question to add to my OP is - does anyone know of a local shop in Dunedin central that sells these? can prob just send someone to go buy one for the workshop during the day tomorrow.. I'm on trademe atm but nothing in Dunedin listed..

not sure how to search for shops who would sell such a thing..

chur, don't think I'll spend my time ringing everyone in town tho ;)

work can buy one or figure it out themselves.

suprised no one has one in the tool box tho - everyone at the track has one or two haha. I think I'll buy one on tradies now for next time its needed, they are cheap as shit

[DrunkenMistake]

All else fails I know countdown have one hahaha

[Fast Eddie]

I dunno.. borrowing a tool from a supermarket, feels wierd.

I got one of these (similar at least) worked sweet for last 5 years or so. Used it for everything from playing with the cat with the lazer (bettery hasnt been replaced yet) to cpu and engine temp monitoring it was also handy to sus out a regulator rectifier that was failing thermally (worked until it went beyond a certain temp)

I got one from Jaycar, use it for tyre temps etc. Was about $120

Have got a small one at work, bit bigger than a match box, was $20 to $30 at BnT, it doesn't have a laser pointer tho, seems to work ok at close range, bit hard to aim at a distance

So did you find one locally?
