Romeo D Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've bought that one as well and it has broke as well. I took it apart and the plastic just crumbles like POP. I had a Raytech that has lasted 10+ years before I lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The digital thermometer I use is the Micro Temp, by MTPro, or vice versa. It's worked well for several years so far, but I haven't conducted a drop test on it yet. Hahaha I'm sure any of these units will hold up if you don't drop them. Solid state electronics don't like to be dropped on hard surfaces. Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Raytek is a very good unit. If you search around with Google, you can often find it on sale somewhere for similar money. I use the MT4 and got it on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, That's probably because you actually know what you're doing. I don't, so I need all the help I can get so I don't scorch my plastic. I am just a hobby pourer, for myself and some friends if they ask. Mostly I fish what I pour. I have wasted some plastic because I got it too hot. I was just learning how to avoid that when I heard about the digital thermometer, and got one. It has made my heating, and reheating, a much easier thing than before. For me, easier equals more fun.
