I've always wanted one of those...that's a good price.
Looks a lot better than the Radio Shack one I bought a few years ago.
You guys probably know this, but according to Andy Hollis, it is useless for tire temps. He said you have to penetrate the tread to get meaningful temps.
I did not know that...that would be my primary use for one.Quote:

At that price I'd probably get one anyhow...Quote:

And they said you were useless. I knew they were wrong.Quote:
