    Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a thermal imager to help in diagnostics. I have a friend that uses the ThermApp Android Thermal Camera – Therm-App | Therm-App.

    My SnapOn guy is offering me theirs at a really good price, less than a ThermApp after I do the US>CDN exchange by a few hundred $$. Here is a link to the SnapOn one Diagnostic Thermal Imager | Snap-on Diagnostics

    So since I don't have one and have no experience or frame of reference to start from, my questions are;
    1)What do you guys have and use?
    2)What are it's pros and cons?
    3)Knowing what you know now, what would you recommend and why?

    have snap on one, not as much help as you think on diagnostics in my opinion use the camera more than i use the thermal imaging good tool to have but maybe something i use once a month.

    I have seen the SO and I personally think it is way overpriced. I have heard nothing but good things from Flir. When I buy one I was gonna look into the TG165. Seems nice for the price.
