Please read these notes that apply to ALL Leeb-type testers from any manufacturer.
The D type probe comes standard with this device. Note you cannot exchange for another probe type.
If you are testing parts that are thinner than its capabilities, you might want to consider adding a C type probe.

I have been very pleased with the THX281 portable hardness tester. The ability to calibrate the unit is a huge advantage over the older EquoTip tester I have been using since 2001. (My order number 1108)
