Sometimes ago I think that you (D from BC) have posted a link to a neat small IR thermometer that had a small measuring spot and was cheap enough, but I fail to find it right now.
Do you have the link?
-- Thanks, Fred.
D hasn't been around for a while (where'd he go?) so I'll jump in here. Could this
Several vendors carry it, including

I don't remember what it was, but that one vaguely tell something, so... Thanks anyway.
-- Thanks, Fred.
I think it was this one...
Cheers

Here's a $25 IR thermometer.
If the link is too long, just search for Duratrax FlashPoint.

Ah ha. Looks like Thermoworks source is Zytemp.
Price comparison:
Zytemp TN01U from web-tronics $129.95
Thermoworks $159.00

Does the DuraTrax have a 0.1" spot size?? I don't think so.
For example: A 0.1" spot size enables scanning over 1/4W or 1206 resistor clusters to find an overheating resistor.

Indeed. Thanks!
-- Thanks, Fred.
Spot size to distance ratio is way to much at 1:1.3
-- Thanks, Fred.
Right. I had to spot hot components and all I did was insert a small tube to restrict the size of the sense spot. It worked fine. It might change the temp a bit but I didn't need absolute temp.
