  Hand held thermometers

The units Murf is talking about are very common here with the moisture we have. At same time the guys who really know how to use them can take the simple point and shoot units and gather the same over all info just not a showy for the insurance adjuster and homeowner who needs a picture verses a series of temperature taken across a wall.

Frank, mechanic here told me they are the best to check for clogged radiator, if there is a cool spot it is clogged. Living where you do, get you one, go out side on a cool day and take temp readings to find out which windows or doors need sealing and even can show if a place in wall is not insulated. A good way to find studs believe it or not in outside walls for hanging pictures or such. You can check the temp leaking around windows and doors from inside also.

You can also check wheel bearings after a few miles with your hand. The hubs should not be so hot you can not place and hold your hand on them. Don't think they should really be hot at all. Will say I have done this often with trailered bearings but not sure on vechile bearings.
