I had been thinking about buying the HD digital thermometer dipstick, but could'nt see spending $99.95 for it. Was at Wal-Mart the other day & noticed they had a digital cooking thermometer for $10. I thought, this might do the trick. I really don't need one that stays in the tank anyway. I works great, has a 5 inch probe & give your reading in about 15 seconds. Then just slip in in it's plastic sheath which has a pocket clip.

 

now thats really being cheap

 

I'm gonna try that

 

The guys at the dealersip don't reccomend the HD digital temperature dip sticks because they aren't reliable, plus you need to change the battery every so often.
When I told them I was going to buy a temperature dip stick, they told me to buy the analog model since they were reliable.

I had already made up my mind to buy the analog model because I read on here what everyone was saying about the digital model (it sucked).

 

Don't like that term cheap, Bob. I like frugal better.

 

It's only cheap if his OL gets the leftover $90.
It's pretty smart if he spends the extra $90 on more bike stuff.

 

Did you get a free pocket protector with it?

 

What is wrong with the thermo in the top of the stick? No batteries, you can see your temp. at a glance.

 

I don't get it. Is it for one use at a time or are you duct taping it on?

Why not splurge for $29.00 or less with a discount.

Get the analog one. It is only $20 and works much better than the digital one. Lasts longer too.
