Practical for both indoor and outdoor use, the Lasergrip 774 lets you safely measure surface temperatures from a distance while still maintaining laser-sharp accuracy. Measure extreme temperatures ranging from -58°F (-50°C) to 716°F (380°C) without ever needing to come in contact. Use the infrared temperature scanner for a high range of applications, from internal electronic components to oven temperatures. With user-friendly operation and a temperature measurement range that surpasses boiling points, the possibilities are endless.5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful keeper of a tool.

In electronic circuits I play with, this laser temp measure tool works for troubleshooting temp sensitive electronic components on circuit boards, to determine if they are operating properly per designed circuit expectations of output parameters and are being kept within the window of working temperature coefficients as defined within manufacturer specifications for desired and stable output rather than thermal runnaway. Thermal problems are near impossible to measure until now and I'm not a fan of using my fingertip for obvious reasons. Works great to measure operating temps on output power transisters in amplifier circuits, inter alia, and allowed me to determine faulty power xstrs and resolve this bewildering thermal issue on an amazing and expensive music instrument amplifier which I have owned for years. One xstr was repaired by placing a larger heat sink under the one xstr to stabilize temp which cost me nothing but a few extra molecules of glucose to find & then cut and attach a chunk of aluminum & apply heat transfer gunk, the white goop. I might have overdriven its circuits a few times during my loudest years. It now operates properly and is like new! My Praise be great for this invaluable and fun tool.
I would recommend this tool.

This thermometer really works, I tested against other thermometers and found this one to be very accurate. For less than $20 it feels like a much more expensive instrument because the details are "just right". Pull the trigger and there's a delay of just under a second while the device calibrates; then the lasers and backlight come on. The display shows the current spot temperature plus the maximum so far for that session. Buttons are in a good place; you can turn off the lasers or screen backlight if you don't need them (and those settings are remembered!), and the display holds for just the right amount of time after you release the trigger.
It's educational to just walk around your house and measure the temperature of ordinary things: a human's skin temperature runs around 87-90F, coffee from a single-pot brewer just over 140F. It's great that it's instantaneous and there's nothing to clean after each measurement. Once you know these temperatures you'd be able to spot issues (air conditioning not cold enough? Refrigerator at the right temperature? What temperature is "6" on the stove?.

The Etekcity Lasergrip 774 temperature gun has been money well spent. I use it for soap making to measure temperatures of lye and oils. I have compared readings from this thermometer to a digital candy thermometer I own and the two are within a couple tenths of degrees of one another. Thus, it is accurate without question and it is easy to use since it doesn't have to touch the liquids that I measure, which means I don't have to spend time cleaning it off before reading another liquid temperature. The functions are easy to work but there is a manual that explains how to use it and what the symbols mean. For the price I cannot see how one could go wrong purchasing this temperature gun.
know if it’s accurate, as I have nothing to calibrate it with, but it sure is fun!
By Alexon
Is it accurate, who the hell knows. I don’t have anything else to calibrate it with. Is my barbecue really 600°…? Sure… I mean, yes? I will say is really fun. How hot is that lightbulb? How hot is the roof of my car? Is it really 120° on the steering wheel? Is my left ball really hotter than my right? (It is, by the way)

This may be the best or worst tool (read toy) I have ever purchased. It is dead on accurate and very fast to catch changes in a surface. I sit in my living room and measure the temps all over the room. Since I live in an old, under-insulated block home in Phoenix those room temps are all over the chart. I checked the oven, fridge and freezer. I now know the temp of the air coming out of every vent in my home and cars. I can tell you just how cold Bob's beer is in his hand and how hot the roof of my black car is after sitting in the Arizona sun all day.(OMG 167!)
I was worried that it only goes from -58℉ to 716℉ until I realized anything below or over the range would kill me anyhow. I mean us Phoenicians are tough but 716℉ is kind of pushing the limit, even for us. As for -58℉, I go get a jacket when the temp is below 65 so I'm betting I will never have a chance to measure anything that's cold enough to push this things limits.
Plus the laser pointer drives the pets crazy.
