Stubby alcometers

Did a quick search and couldn't seem to find a good place to get these online. Any ideas where I can get the shorter stubby ones from?

Thanks - my google-fu is broken

13cm is great...but if you want an alternative in Australia, HBS have one that is 165mm (16.5cm) :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I have 2 of them, and they're brilliant.

If anyone has these Russian looking ones and find they are well calibrated, please chime in :D

Yeah, I have got a HBS one too. Think it was about $15 from my LHBS. I can't say it is great as I am only starting out so I have nothing to compare it to but it works for me.

they come in a bunch of 10 for 30 bucks

i bought a set 2 weeks ago and they not here yet -They are in the Ukraine so i expect it will take some time.

Mac gave me one and i broke it - naturally :violence-stickwhack: - but it didnt seem too far out, if at all. when they get here i will check against my HBS ones and let you know.

EDIT - the bunch of 10 also includes some hydrometers not all alcometers

been using the Ukraine ones of ebay for a few months now, they're pretty good for the price :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Have the set of 3 Ukraine jobs from eBay and was sceptical at fist by next to my Aussie one ( I think) they are fairly close.
