Good brand refractometer?


Could someone recommened a good brand refractometer? Or, brands to stay away from? Are there even that many brands?

We are FINALLY buying one... it's long over due.

I got a nice one from MarineDepot.com last xmas and like it...I don't have anything to compare it to though As far as I know, it's not inaccurate though

It is just a generic one with no name.

I think its made by the same dang manufacturer. I just think stores make 3-4 times what they buy it for. I mean cmon now, look at the box, the sticker placement, whats inside the box, the yellow screwdriver... coincidence? I think not.
