I thought those cheap thermal cameras from the hardware store were a joke until I found a tiny leak in a sealed system that was invisible to my gauges.
Told my boss we needed one of those things for years, he always said it was a gimmick. Spent a whole afternoon last week chasing a ghost pressure drop with my regular tools. Finally borrowed a buddy's thermal camera and found the leak in two minutes. My pride still hasn't recovered from being shown up by a gadget from the tool aisle.
