Special thanks for Flir for sending me this tool for review.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite diagnostic tools. I’ve used an inferred thermometer for years with pretty good results, but this tool is above and beyond that. Not only can it accurately tell me the temperature of an object, it can also give me a full color thermal image of it in real time. I call it, ‘Predator vision’. I feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface of what this tool is capable of. Rest assured, you’ll be seeing this in many upcoming ETCG repair videos.

It's a strange world. Never had a car in my whole life. Yet here I find some interesting and useful information. Thank you m8. Still a bloody strange world though.
Nice. you can locate bees in a wall with that.
can it record like take video recordings? or does it just take pictures
What about sensing human temperature? How efficient is it, and upto what distance can we read the temp?
Also, can the lasers be turned off?
Would be very practical to use this device to detect who might have fever.
Can you pease let me know asap
Thanks and cheers
Nothing screams “I’m an old geezer” louder than “I’m gonna change this from Celsius to Fahrenheit”
Can I use this tool to detect water dampness behind drywall?
Came for a review, gave a like for the coolaid man clock.
how does it do on fuss box's and wiring on automotive ?
How would you say this compares to the Flir One Pro that's coming out for smartphones?
Nice! Tool, I like it, wish I can afford it tho, I think I'll wait for the, Harbor Freight, Version, 'lolo' 😂
wow thats amazing i want 1! 🙂
can you see rodents inside a drywall with this camera?
Is there any reason why you chose the TG165 as apposed to the TG167 which has a narrower viewing angle. 25 by 38 degrees (TG167) as opposed to 35 by 19 degrees (TG165)?????
thanks for the review… I really like this thing they are actually on sale for now… 299.99
There is a version of that uses smartphone now. Much nicer to have a bigger screen as you can use it with a tablet.
i just bought the tg167 on Amazon. Im wondering if i should have bought the tg165 instead. i think the only difference is the 165 has o wider angle view. any advice? it hasn't showed up yet so i might chech it out and decide if i should exchange it for the tg165
Eric — you might want to edit your description with current pricing. This has dropped to $325. Thanks for the useful vid — I just bought one of these, and it really is a useful tool.
do you actually get to keep these tools that you review?? 500usd wow man! that's amazing!
How hot can the exhaust metal tubing get just riding around?
I have one. Awesome tool. Time saver, money maker $$
