Did a little checking on the pistol thermometer we have at work, I work for
The Wall Street Journal and our presses are of the TKS (japan) variety, and
this gun was purchases through TKS about 15 years ago. So back them, as
with most new techno toys-are rather expensive. Remember when the little
pocket laser pointers were 89.99---now you can buy them all day long for
7.99... I do have the opportunity to borrow it when I need it. Wayne
