Can the needle probe be bent so it's more at a 90 degree angle like standard probes?

The needle probe is more fragile. I wouldn't bend it. This probe doesn't have the physical mass of the regular probe.

The probe that comes with it is bent at 90. The needle probe is shorter and more narrow and I wouldn't bend it. It's really for taking a quick temp.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. IF it worked, you'd lose a lot of length in that sweeping bend. It shouldn't really be necessary anyway, since the cord is so flexible, essentially allowing you to point it in any direction you need. I've had mine for about a year now, and just used it again last Sunday. It still works great!

Hello, I have this item and it can be bent but not in an acute 90 degree angle. It can be bent to go around a tub. I applied it in a similar fashion

I suppose you could with the needle attachment bit as I origionally postes I wouldn't recommend this ítem. It os junk.

The reading is taken near the end, if I remember right there might even be a little indent showing how far the probe has to be inserted (1/4 inch or so).

It's flexible enough to be bend 90° or more, however it seems to me that less than 60-70° would not permanently damage it.

Yes you can bend it. If you use a needle nose pliers you can bend a very small radius. It has no spring tention.

Yes, you can adjust the angle a bit, anywhere from closed to a bit past a 90 degree angle. It does not open flat though.

I would say it is capable of bending to 90 degrees. However, it will take tremendous amount of effort to do so and it will be dangerous

You can slip the probe through the little loop on the sheath and it acts as an extender to help keep the tip off the bottom. May or may not work for your particular situation, but that is a feature I think a lot of people overlook sometimes

I don't think there is a connector and the edging isn't flexible enough to make a 90 degree angle.

door angle opening is not adjustable. It opes a little more than 90 degrees omly

No. I glued the probe to the inside of an aluminum cigar tube and tried to waterproof that. You can also look for a stainless steel temperature probe that is linear and use the built in temperature offset

This cable is rather stiff because of the shielding and twisted pair wires, looks like cable wire. You would get more of arch rather than a 90 degree bend.

Yes, it can be done by lining up the angle marks. There is another model that has the angle indicators close together and easier to read. If you do a lot of angles I suggest you look at the Incra 120. It is only five dollars more

I don't see why not, as long as there is something for the tang to grab. To insure a better grab, you could bend the tang to 90 degree.

I only have short jumper cables. They are shielded well, but are stiff to form which is good for my use, but I would not use sharp 90 Deg. bends. So answer in my opinion is no.

The probes are about 8 inches long. I don't like itbecause the dial reading are upside down, so one hasto bend over to read the dial. I don't know why theydid it that way.
