Hi guys, I’m in a bit of a dilemma. Our shop budget is super tight right now, and I’m seeing a lot of used portable rebound testers on secondary markets. Some look like they are in okay shape, but I’m worried about the internal mechanics. The impact bodies take a beating over time, right? Is it worth the risk to grab a second-hand unit, or should I just hold off until we have the funds for a brand-new kit? I really don’t want to end up with a brick that gives me random numbers during a critical inspection of our heavy castings.

Honestly, getting used impact gear is a huge gamble. You never know if the previous owner dropped the probe or if the internal coil is worn out, which totally skews the voltage reading. Plus, getting an old device fixed can cost a fortune. It’s almost always better to get something fresh out of the box so you have proper calibration certs. There are some very decent professional units at https://teqto.pro/portable-hardness-testers/leeb-hardness-testers that might actually fit your budget without resorting to sketchy used gear. At least that way you know the impact mechanism is pristine and ready for heavy daily use.

You’ve confirmed my fears about the worn-out mechanics, I’ll look at those new options to see if we can swing it.
