I had great results with those.. EXCEPT for the fact that they cost a fortune and don't last very long. After the Honeywell Spot Meter fiasco, I decided to never again buy a device that takes batteries that are no longer sold. As cheap as those devices may be, it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to find batteries for them. I rid of the entire mess on Ebay and then sold my left arm and got a Pentax digital. The arm is slowly growing back and the meter works Fab. J -- Justin F.
