    What infrared temp gun are folks using?

    When I retired from my full time work to workcamp type work, a friend of mine gave me one. He works for Napa Auto parts, so I assume he purchased it there. Works great for us.

    We bought it new in December of 2009 at Boerne Texas and our salesman said it had just come in. He had several Big Countrys there but this one was the only one there that had the floor plan we wanted. The paint problem just started showing up this year.
