Hand held thermometers
I've saw people use the hand held thermometers to check the temperature of a gear box, radiator hose, etc. from a distance away.
Anybody know anything about them, are they accurate, cost a lot etc.???

Yooper; Thanks for the info.
I got weaned off Garbage Freight a while back with some "Heavy Duty" drill bits that just kinda melted soon as you drilled anything other than styrofoam.
Grainger shows a Raytec MT-4 @ 113.00 A temp range 0-750F, but at pretty close range, like an inch or so.
The price range jumps form 113. to 25-2800. from there but with ranges in the thousands and distances of a couple feet or so.

I've saw combine service guys/girls use them to check a suspect bearing, and auto service guys/girls check a top radiator hose etc.
What got me to thinking about one was just the other day when we drove in the garage after a couple humdred mile trip at 95 in the shade. I felt the tires, not as warm as I would have thought. Ok, strictly for curiosity reasons, just how warm were the tires, I never had to take my hand off them type warm. I couldn't think of a common thermometer that I had that would be handy enough to get a reading off a tire, so maybe one of the hand helds.

Where do you get a ten dollar one? I'm not a total cheapskate, but ten bucks beats one thirty anytime.

That is interesting, I'm not a regular race fan, just on TV and a few times at a track so I've never been in the pit aeria to see them used.
I do know that a half flat tire won't go too far without getting hot. I used to help my parents when they ran a mom and pop corner gas station when someone would pull in with a tire about flat that would be plenty warm.
It really isn't going to change the price of tea in China whether or not I know tire temperatures, but I'm curious enough now to get one of the hahd helds, Not the 2,500 dollar one but something more in my budget, like 50 bucks.

I hate to bring up a sore subject but I'm guessing it would be the front wheel bearings. Ours has about 60K, when do they go out? By the time you hear them what else do they tear up? Did the hand held show excess heat from the outside or bebind the wheels?

Even tho I was the one who initally asked about them I just haven't gotten around to get one yet, but that's about my speed anymore.
I'm still interested enough to want one. How and where do you order one from them?

Thanks, I'll do some checking.
For some reason our furnace has an odd ball size filter that nobody local stocks. I'm going to try to find one the puter after bit, so I'll look for "canadian tire" then too.
