Cheap Ebay refractometers (1 Viewer)

Has anyone purchased and used one of the salinity refractometers on ebay?

Looks like the buy-it-now is only $19.60 plus shipping.

Does it give accurate readings? I see some going for over $300. I'm guessing that's overkill.

Yes, I have. I also have a high dollar one from when I first got in the hobby.

They both read the same. Perfect.

Just replaced my Ebay one with one from bulkreefsupply.com. It was fine until something started to rattle and couldn't see the reading any more. Brs was cheap and better made.

Use the digital Green one by Hannah. The best tool I ever bought.
