This is a handy little tool to have

This is a handy little tool to have around the house, and should be in every home's toolbox. It's also worth the money for the entertainment value alone.Use it as a cat toy! Startle your housemates! Recreate the James Bond opening sequence!Oh yeah, you can take the temperature of things, too. Like a smartphone, I couldn't imagine what I'd use this thing for until I got one, and then I was using it for everything. Make your cooking recipies more accurate by using exact temperatures rather than "medium-high" heat. Confirm that you're not crazy - the floor in the bedroom really *is* warmer than the rest of the house. End those arguments with your girlfriend about how cold her hands are (use with caution).The body is not heavy duty, but seems plenty durable for a household tool. There's a slightly textured feel to the body of it, eliminating the "cheap plastic" feel. It feels good in the hand. The display is easy to read and bright, with the option to turn off the backlight, turn off the laser, and toggle the read out between C and F.
