Which refractometer do you use?

Looking to buy one and wonder about quality vs price.

This is the one I use. It works very well. Easy to calibrate and seem pretty durable (I still try not to drop it).

I have the same one from Dr Foster. I use the pinpoint solution to calibrate. works great.

Any more opinions?

i use a milwaukee, a little more pricey but i think it was worth it.

I use the Drs one and I too use the pinpoint solution to calibrate it.
Because it's calibrate to a 35 ppt standard and I run my tanks at 35 ppt it's dead accurate. what more could you want?

I use the same DF&S refractometer as GBE738 and Saltwater_Dog.

Ditto on the Dr F&S blue refractometer, best thing I've bought for the tank. Should still be on sale too.

I bought one on ebay for $21, calibrated it with pinpoint cal solution and it was dead on. As far as durability goes, I can't say, as I've only had it about a month, but it seems like a nice quality instrument.
