Tried the test strips but found they were very vague in their testing. This tool quickly gave me a precise, no doubt reading of the antifreeze level in my boiler system. Good value and accuracy.

I've never used one of these before and I was afraid that it being a good price it would be cheap. It is well made, has a nice plastic case, an included screwdriver to adjust it, and a microfiber wipe to clean the glass plate. Right out of the box it was lined up perfectly using distilled water. It was absolutely accurate and I'm glad I made this purchase.

Simple and easy to use. Temperatures are in centigrade.

Bought 2 of these to use to test propylene glycol antifreeze concentration, They appear to be well made and should work for us.

I was originally apprehensive about using this type of refractometer, having only used the "floating balls" type before.However, the included instructions are clear and show how to calibrate and read it. Frankly, it looks a whole lot cooler to put a drop on the slide, close the cover and look through the eyepiece, announcing your findings like Mr. Scientist than it does to see how many balls are floating in a modified turkey baster. It's also more accurate as it gives a specific reading instead of a range.Impress your friends or significant other! Feel like you're back in a chemistry class. Or feel like you're in a chemistry class for the first time if you've never been in one before.It seems like a good product, it comes in a case with instructions and a tool for calibration (you will have to supply your own distilled water to calibrate it.) Once calibrated, it seems to maintain the calibration for quite a while. I did not have to make an initial calibration and it hasn't drifted from it yet.

Quality product! I was pleasantly surprised to get a product that compares in quality to the higher priced name brand refractometers.

I am an HVAC contractor and have a few refractometers which we use primarily to measure propylene glycol antifreeze solutions. Bought this as a replacement for one of my units that was dropped and destroyed. This unit came calibrated and seemed just fine .... until we used it to take a few measurements. All concentrations that were measured all tested out to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Even the straight propylene measured 5 degrees. We checked the readings with two "proven" refractometers and while the two units agreed across the scale, this unit consistently read 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Sending it back.

As is typically the case with "precision instruments" from that part of the world, the attention to detail is always lacking.In this situation, the instructions utilize the same graphic for every instruction indicating that when calibrating with distilled water, (a bad idea anyway) the image for "calibrating to 0" (attached here) is not at "zero". When calibrating with distilled water, the calibrated setting should be at the "waterline" mark.Has to leave one wondering about how much care was put into the rest of the product.
