Our pick

Fluke 62 MAX Plus

Choose the Fluke 62 MAX Plus for griddle and pizza-stone checks: it combines adjustable emissivity with the highest measurement ceiling of these three choices.123

Why this one

  • Its 1,202°F ceiling gives you more temperature headroom than the Etekcity’s 1,130°F and the Klein’s 752°F limits.123
  • The 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio reads a smaller patch than the Klein’s 10:1 ratio at the same distance, and its emissivity setting adjusts from 0.10 to 1.00.124
