Infrared thermometers

[Sandeep]

Has anyone used one of these devices ? Its a device that you point at an object and it records what the surface temperature of the object is without touching the object.

There are some good deals on ebay right now and I was thinking of using one to measure brake temps, tire temps, engine temps after a hard run on the highway. Would be cool to see exactly how hot certain parts of the car are after some fast driving.

Thoughts ?
