    Hardness Testing - Best Bang for the Buck

    I know a guy who does NDI testing in the aircraft industry. He was using a tester very similar to the HR150A. When he upgraded I bough the old one from him. If it's accurate enough for aircraft testing it accurate enough for me. Here is a picture of mine.
