Christmas tool thread! What did santa bring you?

Not a tool but one of the best Christmas presents I have ever received. Might even top when I got the original Nintendo for Christmas.

A gallon of future diarrhea beats a NES when you were a kid?

We go through at least one bottle a week if tobasco sauce in my home. I love it and my oldest son eats it on EVERYTHING.

Silly question, but what is the difference between the upside down silver ones and the black cobras and why would you use one vs the other?

Thanks,
Mark

Not a silly question, the Cobra pliers are made to grip round or roundish (Hex, etc.) surfaces. The way the jaws are shaped they bite very hard into whatever you're grabbing - for better or for worse. They grip like mad, but also will scratch and mar whatever they grab.

The silver pliers (Pliers Wrenches) are the opposite, they have smooth parallel jaws. They function like a crescent wrench, and are made for grabbing bolts or bolt like objects on flat surfaces, and won't damage whatever they're gripping.

The little bit that I have used it, I think it will be helpful. I've found a few spots near doors that need my attention.



I realize there is some range in the accuracy (+/- 4 to 7 degrees) depending on the temperature range you are at.



I look at it this way - if there is a significant absolute temperature difference as I move across a wall (or anywhere else), that might be worth further investigation. The level of accuracy really isn't a big deal to me.



Those are my thoughts at this point...hopefully they are helpful to you in some way.

I use one for these exact purposes. Works like a dream. Mine runs like 4 degrees cold. No big deal. Its not an accurate temp I need, just a relative temp.

Figured out muy thermostat was screwing up because the hole through the sheetrock for the 18/4 is piping cold air, like 10 degrees colder... Right into the back of the thermostat. Making it read low at night... Making the house hot... Only at certain times of day/night... What a pain.

I could see that 16" of the wall is running cold too... Obviously a good size hole in the wall plate or somewhere top.and bottom, allowing air to actually flow and cool the space between those two studs....

Ran some 18/4, Moved the thermostat. Patched the sheetrock. All is perfect now.

I find a ton of uses for the non contact thermometers.
