The Extech 39272 pocket thermometer features a fold-up design with a 4.5-inch stainless steel probe that adjusts from 0 to 180 degrees for convenient storage or measurement. Positive detents at 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180° ensure secure positioning during use. This makes it ideal for field applications where portability and ease of use are essential.

The thermometer covers a wide temperature range from -58 to 572°F (-50 to 300°C) with fast response time. Accuracy is ±1.8°F/1°C across most of the range. Resolution is selectable at 0.1° or 1° to suit different measurement needs. Data Hold freezes the current reading, while MIN/MAX functions allow recall of recorded extremes.

Auto power off after one hour conserves battery life. The Extech 39272 comes complete with a wrist strap for secure handling and a AAA battery, providing a ready-to-use solution for HVAC, food processing, and general industrial temperature measurement tasks.
