All the testers We're looking at are Analog and seem to function the same. I've been trying to research where all of these testers are being made, because so many are coming out of mystery factory's in the orient and service could be dropped for them 5 years from now, or tomorrow. IMO the support you get when the warranty runs out is a huge plus. I'm the type that would rather go for an American/European/Japanese name-brand tool in place of a "really really good" import. They're also the only one's who advertised a point-of-origin (made in Brazil). I looked up a Mitutoyo as well which is almost $2000 more and out of the budget. I'm wondering if any one has experience with ANY of these brands as far as their quality, repeatability, reliability, ect. The first 2 are a little more expensive than the MSC ones, and the Starrett is about $1000 more. We got a quote for Fowler, Phase II, and Starrett.
I'm OK with that as our current units are in the "disposable" realm of tools.
They noted that they probably can't get parts for either of our testers and would give us a quote for a new unit if we have to go that route.

I think it's something to do with the oil filled cylinder in the back, but I'm not very familiar with how these things work. Now, the 2nd tester is giving us problems. We boxed the old one up and put it aside. It wasn't badged the same as the first one, but was essentially a cloan of it. We used to be in the middle of no-where and getting parts and service for stuff could be tricky at times, so the quickest way to get up and running then was to buy another tester through MSC for $1000. It filled our needs but stopped working in 2015. We bought our first tester through MSC in 2003, a Chinese made Acu-pro.
The tester is furnished with a diamond indentor, a 1/16" (1.6mm) ball indentor, three certified test blocks, four test tables – 5.87" (149mm) and 2.5" (63.5mm) flat anvils, 5/8" (15.9mm) spot anvil and a standard vee anvil – and an accessory case.So our Rockwell Hardness tester is down at the moment, but to put things chronologically: It is an ideal basic hardness solution, economically priced to suit a variety of lab, workshop, toolroom and inspection department applications. This reliable bench hardness tester has a high quality casting, is ergonomically designed for easy operation and is engineered to ensure accurate results. The 3814 Hardness Tester provides reliable Rockwell Hardness values on all types of metal and alloys, hard or soft, and in many shapes. Ovens / Drying & Heating Chambers / Climates Chambers.
