I've been looking into hardness testers lately and it appears that the top names are the Lee Hardness Tester, Cabine Tree Tester, and the LBT.
The LBT seems to be a favorite and I can find posts about it up until a year ago or so but their domain has expired, www.lbtmolds.com, so I'm wondering if they just disappeared.
The Lee tester has good reviews and is not too expensive but would require the current press be removed from the mount to put the turret press back up to test. I've also read that if you wear glasses, which I do, that the little magnifying glass is difficult to use but there are mods you can do to make it easier to use.
The Carbine Tree seems to have good reviews too and seems to be a little more user friendly and would also be easier to use to test ingots, which I'd like to have the ability to do.
What's your opinion on these and am I leaving a tester out that I should be looking into?
Thanks
