  I've tried the HF infrared thermometers.  2 times, 2 failures after a
very short time.  Junk, from my experience.  A functioning infrared
thermometer is a very useful tool.   I saw that offer on the flyer, but I
am not going to try a third, I'll get mine elsewhere this time.   Also, the
air tools I have tried from HF aren't really worth the bother, though I've
not had one of each.  Random orbital air sander and small die
grinder...mine were both poor.
