Professional Infrared Thermometer

The Klein Tools IR5 is a dual-laser infrared thermometer built for electrical and mechanical diagnostics. It measures surface temperatures from minus 22 degrees F to 752 degrees F with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio. Adjustable emissivity allows accurate readings across different materials. This tool is not intended for medical use on people or animals.

Ready To Use From The Box

The unit ships with a 9-volt battery and a custom pouch, so it works immediately. Battery life is rated at 10 hours of continuous operation with laser and backlight active. Drop protection to 6.6 feet helps survive jobsite falls. Auto power-off preserves charge when the thermometer is left on accidentally.

Verify Your Measurement Needs

Confirm the 12:1 optical resolution suits your working distance and target size before ordering. Ensure the minus 30 degrees C to 400 degrees C range covers the equipment you service. The dual-laser targeting shows the measurement spot diameter but does not replace contact probes for internal temperatures. Buyers needing medical-grade accuracy should choose a clinical device instead.
