Very rugged for such a hightech item. So many uses. Finding hot spots during overhaul, searching for trapped personnel, fire extension easily checked limiting unnecessary destruction, useful for checking hot motors and brake temperatures. looking for hot ballast among several burnt out light fixtures made simple. etc. Have you ever been at a MVA and wondered if there were ejected victims unaccounted for, if you are on scene early there will be a heat signature where each passenger was sitting.

great tool

We raised the money our selves to buy this about 5 years ago. When the salesman walked in with a demo he threw across the table. Then he picked it up, put the battery back in a turned it on and it surpised us by working like nothing had happened. That sold us. We bought one that night. Not that one of course. LOL!!!!

we have this one at our dept. very nice, easy to use

We have actually used ours to assist aircraft maintenance in locating over heated electronic components in the aircraft.
