We are at a point where we need to have a bench hardness tester in the shop. We have an Ames C portable clamp type which works fine but we need the whole process to be a little quicker than working with the C type portable.
I am thinking technology must have advanced enough to replace or at least be competitive with the traditional surface dimple measurement type we normally use.
Does anyone have any experience with this one or similar version?:

Any other suggestions?
