I did include a plastic storage box with my purchase.
Rather than showing you the total volume of coolant in the water, the tool shows the percentage.
Two small flat bladed screwdrivers and one phillips head screwdriver
You can see the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte on a scale that usually sits at the left side of the instrument. If you use this, you'll be able to see the exact A very accurate translation.

Calibrate to the bottom of the scale with the percentage "0" and not the 0 degrees, as that is where the calibration should be. As I recall, they were instructions for multiple-use units that I was not able to understand hardly at all. Because I could not get them to calibrate to that "0" located half way up the scale, I thought they were defective. That's all right. I could be dense, but I'm really not. Does someone know who wrote that instruction? I have had a great experience working with Ade Advanced Optics. This, coupled with the hope that this was a better product than I would have gotten from China, led me to pay more for it than I would have if I ordered it As far as I can tell, it worked perfectly after calibration.
It is incorrect to use a calibration point at halfway up the scale when the actual calibration point is at the bottom (distilled water). In general, the instrument works as described once it has been calibrated correctly (note that it was very nearly exact out of the box). There were a dozen of the same product available on Amazon, but this package included a labeled box to identify more tools as part of the package.
While looking for a replacement glass hydrometer for my broken one, I dropped it and the glass broke. It seemed like a good deal when I ordered it. There was a cloth case with the product. The specific gravity was used to identify a dead cell in a battery. I used it to check the specific gravity of a In comparison to a floating hydrometer, I find the scale easier to read. We will have to wait and see how long longevity lasts.
A couple years ago, I bought these to measure the amount of antifreeze in older vehicles when draining and filling the cooling system. I tested it using distilled water and a measured dilution of new coolant as soon as I received it. As the readings were accurate out of the box, I didn't need to adjust the calibration (a jeweler's screwdriver was included to do this). Despite the fact that the instrument seems well-made (heavy), you can easily adjust the focus of the eyepiece. My eyedropper came with a soft case, an adjustment screwdriver, a small microfiber cloth for cleaning the prism surface, as well as a soft plastic eyedropper for placing the sample In spite of having never used one, its performance was exceptional and the whole process of using it was very easy. It is recommended.
I like it very much. The test was performed with distilled water as suggested, and the result was zero. My antifreeze mix was tested after flushing and refilling, which was the reason for purchase, and I had expected to get it relatively close to a 50/50 mix, but the device confirmed that I had gotten no less than Graduations are given in the scope for ethylene glycol and propylene glycol separately.
I ended up purchasing the Robinair 75240 Coolant and Battery Refractometer instead. The price is higher, but the quality is higher and the consistency is higher. Please keep in mind that I live off grid and measure batteries every month, so I am very concerned about quality and consistency.
After having used several other instruments before, I knew how to use it even though the instructions were written in a form of broken English. This is a very effective and accurate system- Make sure to calibrate with distilled water so that you can determine your reading. There is nothing complicated here.
The city of LA. A fluid tester is advertised as part of this product. It is sulfuric acid that is used in LA batteries. As the instructions state, "Do not use this instrument to test abrasive or corrosive chemicals. ". The coating of the prisms can be damaged by them. The question is "What is going on?" Despite the fact that it is new, I was unable to calibrate it Even after turning the calibration screw all the way either way, there was no white showing. There are only blue colors. Another item designed to look good, but does not function at all.
