Bosch Professional Stud Finder GMS 120 (max. detection depth wood/magnetic metal/non-magnetic metal/live cable: 38/120/80/50 mm, in cardboard box)

Bearing in mind it was only £40 rather than £300 odd for a professional one, this is as accurate as you'll need. My experience is everywhere between -20 and 450 degrees has an error of less than 10%. Not what you'll find in cheaper ones.

Checking House walls temperatures in cold weather

Works

Purchased to help to discover source of drafts in old house. Very useful - easy to use & accurate. Value for money against the more sophisticated models for the professionals.

As per the title I purchased this for one job. My dad has recently installed a new greenhouse and had polycarbonate glass panels made for it. He wanted to heat several up with a heat gun so that they could be shaped into place with a curvature. The Melting point of the poly panels used is 155c and its pretty crucial not to exceed this too much so they don't ruin.I read lots of reviews for alternate non branded thermometers and just wasn't convinced, Bosch is a brand I have had good experiences with so although the price point is slightly higher than some of the low end competition I picked this based on brand reputation and good reviews.The Good -This unit feels extremely well built in hand. There are no cheap materials to be found, its either chunky thick plastic or rubber around the grip which makes holding it very comfortable too.It's fairly compact, easy to hold, the trigger is well positioned too.Operation is super simple. Aim at the source of your heat/cold, pull the trigger and the laser beam highlights the targeted material with a highly visible red dot.Within two seconds a reading is given on the gun screen. And that's it.I don't profess to have any fancy measurement tools to benchmark the accuracy of this gun with, however, I can say that when the gun hit 150c the poly sheets started to become malleable as desired so I imagine that this is fairly accurate.The gun auto shuts off after a period of time though I'm not sure how long which is another welcome feature to help save battery life.The could be better -If there is one improvement that could be made to this unit it would be a stronger back light on the screen. The picture shown doesn't really highlight my view but when I was using this in direct sunlight it was something of a strain to see the temperature rising. That said it was one of the hottest/sunniest days of the year so far and I cannot really mark the gun down based on just this.I am unsure that I'll ever have a requirement to use this again, however the job that it was purchased for it did it very well and in that it saved a small fortune should we have had to replace any of the poly carbonate panels due to overheating.Excellent thermometer from a brand you know you can trust. Whatever your need for such a piece of kit you could do a lot worse than invest in a Bosch Thermometer.Highly recommended.Five Stars.

I originally bought this to determine when a pizza stone was fully heated, but it's great for so many more things. I also use it to measure the temp of cooking oilb and used it to see if any areas of my house were leaking heat (such as around windows, doors and vents). Measuring heat loss with this thermometer was great since I could instantly see which areas didn't require any insulation.Another unexpected task I used this for was to balance all of my radiators in my new house. I was able to adjust the water flow on the 'lockshield' valve (this is on the first, or main, radiator) so that the temp of all subsequent radiators was the same. This saved me so much time and aggravation!Please note that this thermometer gets more accurate the closer you get to the test object. It isn't designed to take a temperature from 10 feet away. This thermometer also has a setting to adjust for shiny objects such as windows and bare metal. This feature is not available on cheaper models.Also, do not use this thermometer to measure the temp of people as the laser will scar their retinas if it shines directly in the eyes.

I wouldn't argue that an infra-red thermometer is an essential piece of kitchen equipment, but it's been helping me understand my way round my five ring gas hob, while also giving me new insights into how various cooking processes respond to different levels of heat. As a device, it works simply. To all intents and purposes, you point it at the surface you want the temperature for, pull a trigger and you're given a reading, along with the last temperature you measured, which is useful when you need a sense of how fast a surface is heating up or cooling down. There are various options to play around with, but for my needs, I just point it and take a measurement. I've found this useful as I've tried to make sense of recipes which call for different kinds of heat - medium-high, low, high etc. It's allowed me to get a sense as to how the four very differently sized rings on my gas hob actually compare with each other. How does the lowest setting on the wok ring compare with the hottest setting of the smallest ring etc etc? What's the impact of a heat diffuser? This has given me much greater confidence in choosing which ring and setting to use when asked to cook at a particular heat. An instinctive cook will not need this help. To me, as an interested amateur cook, it's an extra bit of help. So, this is an excellent piece of kit which does what it promises. .....and, it's not just useful in the kitchen. You can use it to do things like measure the temperature of walls which, if you have damp spots in them, can be very useful in helping discover just how bad your problem is.

Easy to set up and use.I bought it to check for heat-loss through external walls - by measuring the temperatures on the inside of the walls. It was an eye-opener - some walls were very cold - proving that we need to upgrade the insulation.I have found it useful in other ways, such as checking the performance of hot-water radiators and even the oven.

Fast delivery, happy with how it works. I am using it to cooking and getting the right temperature.

Acheté pour contrôler la température de mon four à pizza. Efficace et précis.

Bon produi

Das Bosch Infrarotthermometer UniversalTemp hat sich als zuverlässiges und benutzerfreundliches Werkzeug für die Temperaturmessung bewährt. Als jemand, der Wert auf genaue Messergebnisse legt, bin ich von der Leistung und den Funktionen dieses Thermometers beeindruckt.Die Infrarottechnologie ermöglicht eine berührungslose Messung der Oberflächentemperatur, was besonders praktisch und hygienisch ist. Die Handhabung des Thermometers ist denkbar einfach: Zielen Sie einfach auf die zu messende Fläche und drücken Sie den Auslöser. Innerhalb von Sekunden erhalten Sie präzise Informationen über die Oberflächentemperatur.Die Anzeige auf dem gut ablesbaren LCD-Display ist klar und verständlich. Das Thermometer bietet auch die Möglichkeit, zwischen Celsius und Fahrenheit umzuschalten, was die internationale Anwendbarkeit erhöht.Ein besonderes Highlight ist die Hold-Funktion, die es ermöglicht, die gemessene Temperatur für einen bestimmten Zeitraum zu speichern. Dies ist besonders nützlich, wenn man schwer zugängliche Stellen überprüfen muss oder die Messung dokumentieren möchte.Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist sehr gut und das ergonomische Design sorgt für eine komfortable Nutzung. Die kompakte Größe macht es einfach, das Thermometer überall hin mitzunehmen, sei es im Haushalt, in der Werkstatt oder im professionellen Einsatz.

Mide con precisión y rapidez la temperatura, tanto de sólidos (piedra de horno) como de líquidos. Lo uso para medir la temperatura del horno cuando hago pizza (el límite son 500 grados) y para comprobar cuándo el aceite llega a 170 grados para echar las croquetas. Buena compra.
