Refractometers on amazon

[Jl330]

Are any of the less expensive ones on the any good?

I have two different models that look like the 'less expensive' ones on Amazon. They work quite well. I also have calibration fluid and I rarely need to calibrate, maybe once each in the past few years (aside from when I first got them).

I used a cheap one for a year without issue. Upgraded to a digital Milwaukee refractometer and it was worth every penny!

Have an Amazon one that works great. Would highly recommend using calibration fluid though. Calibrating to 0 definitely is not accurate
