Flexbar 'Quick-Check' hardness tester

Anyone used this type of tester before? It's a rebound style from what seems to be a reputable company. The price is right and it would seem to meet my needs even if it is +/- a point to a point and a half.

Any info would be great.
Thanks!

I took a serious look at htem a while ago and just wasn't comfortable with rebound technology. I ended up getingone of the portable AMES rockwell testers off ebay and been very happy with it.
Thanks
