Refractometer

[momof6kids]

I am asking Doug for a refractometer for Christmas and was wondering whether either of these are any good. Or does someone have a recommendation to give me?

Except I aksed for this one:

I've heard some good things about that one, It's gotten really good reviews.

We have that ebay one in the first post. I like it. Works fine (as far as I know, lol, but then again I thought that my hydrometer worked fine too, lol).

I Might switch my gift idea to that e-bay one as well. It's a bit cheaper and the one I want is out of stock!

Hey Brian,
Let me know which one you are bidding on so you and Doug don't bid each other up. ;D

My sister in law works for a company that sells laboratory equipment. I asked her if she could get us a deal on these and she said she would find out. I'll let you know what she tells me. Typically, she can get things at cost plust 10%. If it's a good deal, I'll ask her to get us some if anyone's interested.

Following up on my previeous post. My sister in law says that she can get this for $55 from her company. It's a little more expensive than the ones in the links above, but there's no shipping. I don't know how it compares, but these are laboratory grade instruments. Here's a link:

I'm going to ask her to pick one up for myself.
