 Rating:  - It measures temperature.This thermometer measures temperature, which is to say that it displays a reading of the thermal activity contained within the object into which one inserts it. It's flimsy, sure, but it's also long. I give it four stars only because it would have been nice if it were powder coated in rainbow colors. Rating: - handle with careMantis Compost Thermometer #201101These are tricky to handle; if you so much as twist the dial getting the thermometer out of the package it won't work very well, if at all. Instead, hold the thermometer by the probe. I use 2 of these in the barn to measure the temps on my hay bales and when handled correctly, they give very accurate temperature readings.

Rating: - Doesn't work!Don't waste your money! Doesn't work at all! Gave it to my father for a birthday present and don't have the return stuff, so I am stuck with a nonworking thermometer. |
