## Description

Northern Brewer - Herculometer Polycarbonate Shatterproof Triple Scale Hydrometer: desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: This thing is rugged! (For: Northern Brewer - Herculometer Shatterproof Triple Scale Hydrometer) - Don't bother with the thin, glass hydrometers (or as they're so often called "hy-DROP-eters") that shatter so easily, spraying tiny lead or steel weights all over the room. If you're buying glass ones, buy at least 3. You'll need the replacements, while this Herculometer can handle repeated 12 foot falls and stay accurate, where a typical hydrometer shatters if it is fumbled from the table-top. Also, disregard the old claims that Herculometers are inaccurate. Mine is dead-on 1.000 SG in distilled water. Tough and accurate are about all you can ask for in a basic float hydrometer. As far as ease of reading, no hydrometer will make it easy to read if you're farsighted, but this one has numbers that I can read without glasses and still manages the definition needed to be accurate. Word of advise though, regardless of what kind of hydrometer you buy, make sure the graduated cylinder is small enough to minimize the amount of liquid you're testing. I got a 250 ml cylinder and it's way too big. This is not the fault of anyone but myself.
Review: Great product - I bought this because I did break a glass hydrometer. There is a lot of durability tests on YouTube. I will say for as much as I use it I don’t have to worry about it ever breaking. I did knock it off my kitchen table and it went down stairs about a 10 foot drop and nothing happened to it. It still works as it should.

I broke three glass ones before I bought this one. It's a no-brainer.
