I use my hand. If it's not comfortable to place my hand on the hub it's time to investigate further. Keep in mine WHEN you check temps will make a HUGE difference in temperature. Checking right after pulling off of the highway and using brakes to stop and you'll get higher readings than waiting a bit longer. If you're wanting to just test BEARINGS then coast to a stop with little or no brake use THEN check hub temps (by any means you like)
