    Default Ebay refractometer? Good or bad?

    Anyone ever try one of these out? I was thinking about buying one. It seems everyone on ebay is selling the same one just slightly different prices.

    If you look on ebay for a seller: dealsforyourpets, I BELIEVE (but I'm not positive) that this is the outlet for Drs Foster Smith. They seem to have a LOT of "customer returns" of this item...

    I have one that I bought off ebay and it's still working for four years. I had to calibrate it twice in that time. I'm pleased.

    I purchased mine on ebay and really like it.

    Tried the regular hydrometer and it was a piece of junk. It was too easy for an air bubble to throw of the results.
