Very useful tool. I used one of these to trace a fault at a hotel recently.

The main incoming fuse on one of the phases had been replaced twice by the DNO and the hotel asked us to check if this phase was overloaded.

The loading on all three phases seemed balanced but I noticed that the main cut out was very hot on the offending phase.

Got out the thermometer and found that the temperature was much higher on the incoming side of the fuse.

Called out Central Networks and they found that the connection on the incoming side of their fuseholder was faulty and that the overheating was causing the fuse to fail prematurely.

The thermometer saved the hotel from any more costly call outs to replace the fuse and they were well impressed by our service.

I've got the Ryobi version, probably a bit of an expensive toy for me but what it would be very handy for is checking connection temperature in the likes of a busbar chamber.
