I use their cheap arse IR thermometer for eyeballing hot spots. Item
96451, $29 on sale.

If you find a price on their website, they honor it in the store if
you bring the print out. I can't tell you how many of those $3 DVMs I
have. Why use a Fluke or HP when doing cheap and dirty testing?
I was checking a gel cell voltage in the boonies, but the meter was on
current. It died. Maybe it was fuzed internally. I didn't bother
checking. I pulled out a spare and went on with the testing. Later I
gave away the meter to someone who wanted to retrieve the battery. ;-0
