    Just got a Cooper srh77a the blue box and really like it so far.
    The 4011 Pipe strap probe is really nice and I rewired the Digi Cool to accept it.
    It can also adjust up to 4" pipe I believe.

    Anyone have the Testo 110 or 922? About to order one. Really thinking 922 with wireless probe kit. Anyone got one? Jim Bergmann have any suggestions? How well does the wireless kit work?

    Just got the SH66A to replace a fluke 52. I am not seeing how to attach the 4011 pipe strap probe to a pipe. It came with 2 elastic straps. How do you guys have the straps connected to the probe ?

    If you are looking at the sensor thread away in the space on the outside then loop back towards you thru the center space.
    From there the strap goes around the pipe and v groove.

    When it goes thru the v, hang on to the sensor and pull until tight.

    Not so sure the Testo is the way to guy. As much as I approve of Testo there are instruments that do as good a job much more reasonable.

    Another vote for the Cooper box. I have been very happy with mine for the past 7 years.

    I have to admit that I feel like I stepped back 15yrs looking at the cooper blue box. I use to have one of those when I started out and I certainly is/was the most reliable and accurate in my opinion. Today I use the fieldpiece digita dual temp. It is fast and seems accurate

    I've bought 3 all seperatly and only one came with an extra strap.
    I figured it was Oops
    They are excellent for pipe temps
    One of the best IMO

    There used to be a good reason people joked that UEI stood for Unreliable Electrical Instruments, but supposedly they have improved over the years.

    I have a UEI amp clamp it is one of the best I have had. I had a dual scale thermometer for about 20 years. It died a while ago. I replaced it with the red cooper. Got a good deal on it. Oh I also have the UEI leak detector. I haven't had to use it a lot but I like it better than my tif 1-xz.
