5.0 out of 5 stars AutoPro ST25 Infared Thermometer, May 13, 2007

This item is very easy to use. You can determine various problems with your car simply by measuring the amount of heat. I used this item to determine which side of vehicle had a wheel bearing problem, though it was audibly heard from both sides and felt at floor pan of vehilce. I went around all four wheels and the hotest wheel had the bearing problem.

This is an outstanding piece of equipment. It is perfect for measuring the metal temp on sprayed surfaces. Magnetic bottom so it can stand without falling is a nice feature.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reads 8 F degrees high, but consistent, December 3, 2008

This review is from: Raytek AutoPro ST25 Noncontact Infrared Thermometer for Automotive Diagnostics (Misc.)

I bought this unit to use the dual laser dots as an aid to knowing exactly what it is I am measuring, when wanting a reading on RC craft motors and on the ICs of electronic circuit boards. Compared to my Raytek Mini Temp MT, which has no laser at all, this new ST25 reads 8F degrees high, but it is consistent over a range of items from 40 to 180F that I tested. I presume the MT model is right, or at least close, because I can scan most any item in my home office and the surface will usually match the temperature in the room, about 72F at the time of testing. The ST25 would show the same item at 80F. I know it isn't 80 in here, because I would be sweltering if it were.

Although I am disappointed that the device is apparently incorrectly calibrated, I can subtract the 8 degrees and it then seems to correctly measure everything I pointed it at. A calibration adjustment for the user would make a nice addition to this model.

The ST25 seems solidly built and I was surprised by how much larger in size it is compared to the mini MT. It comes in a nice molded carry case with a manual that describes several items that can be tested, including such things as rear window defroster traces and other automotive items. The manual is in several languages.
