  • do Infrared Thormometers work?

    Don’t know what people are paying for these but I got one from Machine mart on Friday, £43.46, seems to work ok.

    Maplins also do one for £50.00.

    Anyway at that price it’s defiantly worth getting one for wrap type work.

    that’s something I could be doing with, I am always roasting my fingers trying to get the heat right.

    after the day I’ve had I don’t want to even contemplate doing another vehicle at the moment.
