TH-172 with integrated Universal C-type Impact device, carries over the same ergonomic design and advanced features of the 170-series, but uses a light impact device and test force making it suitable for use on thinner, light weight test samples (<5mm and <5Kg) such as aluminium.
This "Basic" kit includes basics to get you started; tester, cleaning brush, USB cable, small support ring etc
It provides exceptional reliability for a wide measuring range, and is capable of automatically converting and displaying measurements into Brinell, Rockwell, Leebs, Vickers and Shore hardness values.
