These are the best! Retired now but I have about 15 of these I use at home. I use them all over - in greenhouse, indoor seed starting, outdoors in various gardens. I really don't take very good care of them. Some are forgotten outside buried in vegetation all winter. Some are left unattended in greenhouse all summer in scorching temps. A couple I have lost for years and found buried in compost pile. ALL of them have made it through - still reading accurately and looking great when I clean them up. Some are over 10 years old.
Highly recommend!!
I use the gauge for soil testing to ensure optimum conditions for seeding lawns and other lawn care uses and I use it to test soil temperatures to ensure my irrigation system is safe from freezing during those late fall season frosts.
Note: The description states that the stem is 6", however, the measuring area of the stem is only 5". A none issue for me.
I highly recommend this unit for its build, large temperature range, accuracy and readability.

I checked the calibration against a high quality at kitchen electronic thermometer at 48F, 65F, 100F. Temperature was one degree different at 48F and exactly the same at the other temperatures. There is what appears to be a calibration adjustment screw on the back of the dial. There is also a 3/4" pipe fitting on the back for screwing thermometer into a fitting. Probe is sturdy which means it has a lot of mass and takes a couple minutes to take an accurate reading- be aware but it is not an issue.

I bought the Vee Gee Thermometer to measure soil temperatures for the purpose of improving my lawn care. This product has been a pleasant surprise in terms of its robustness, accuracy and general utility. In the mornings, it does tend to accumulate some dew on the top. I might treat it with "Rain-X" to mitigate the effect.
Accuray:
- I compared the VeeGee thermometer to my fancy factory-calibrated ThermaPen and the VeeGee was within 0.5 F of the ThermaPen. My VeeGee thermometer is quite accurate!
Pros:
- Good accuracy
- Very robust, strong industrial build
- Generally does its job very well.
Cons:
- Does not have degrees Celsius
