Wayne,
I have two catalogs that show similar Laser Thermometers. Price is no where
near th $ 700 you mentioned.
I have seen one work. It is really slick. It was used to detect a hot
cyclinder, a hot catalytic converter etc.
Also used to check coolant system temperatures all along the hoses and
radiator. Nice diagnostic tool.
One source for $ 109.99 is Racers Toolbox at http://www.racerstoolbox.com
It is item Ray MT-2
Another is $ 199.99 from Goodson at www.goodson.com
Part number is DIT-752.
I have bought from neither yet. Booth seem like good sources.

Subject: [oletrucks] Pistol thermometer
| We use these pistol thermometer on our press units at work to check the
| bearing temperature. It basically shoots a laser and whatever the laser
| hits it reports that temperature on a lcd readout. We have tested this
$700
| unit against a $60k infrared digital video camera and believe it or not
the
| temperature was about .5 degrees off. Real close... If you can hit the
| point with the laser it will read the temp... Real fun toys--wayne
