I should be down at the shop pulling wire today but being kind of sore from such activity I decided to take the morning off. To appease my guilty conscience I spent some time catching up on some of the YouTube posters I follow for technical and how to build stuff. Ran across this (no it isn't TicTok) and thought some others here would find it interesting/informative.
At the end of the video he uses a digital hardness tester, that after some investigation I discovered is of the Leeb type. I've been desiring to get a hardness tester for some QC work for a while now and this type looks like a practical and affordable option for a lot of us?
That lead to thinking this thread could be a place to post about specific tools that we find useful, necessary, totally junk or just toys we buy because we want them. Thus my first question:
Is this type of hardness tester reliable enough for us HBA types to help ***** the quality of some of the parts/materials we buy that may be clones or of unknown ancestry?
