Does anybody actually use one when they cast?
Which one is best?
Thanks

I've used one a lot. I started years ago with the Lee,, & got a Saeco now. I prefer the Saeco.

I have the LBT tester. It measures directly in bhn, and doesn't require the use of microscopes, telescopes, stereoscopes, algebra (graded on a curve), magic potions, midnight incantations, or live chickens. And it will test ingots. I had a SAECO tester but didn't like having to cast samples in a bullet mould (plain-based only) to test.

I use a Lee and it seems to work just fine and it helped tremendously in cross calibrating my fingernail indentation tester  |

That LBT tester was the one I was looking at.
Anybody else??

I've had an LBT hardness tester for many years, easy to use & as mentioned gives a direct read out. Used it on Callshot's head once & it pegged the needle, he says I cheated! I've also heard good things about the Cabin Tree tester.

The LBT is the Cadillac but the Saeco is fine. Easy to use and read. I've been using these side by side and it's all about how much money you want to spend.
