This pen-type Leeb hardness tester measures the hardness of metals by rebound and shows the result on a small OLED screen, with a test range of 170 to 960HLD. It is one handheld unit with no cable to a separate probe, runs from a rechargeable lithium battery for about 20 hours and converts each reading to HL, HB, HRB, HRC, HV and HS scales on the display.
Features and benefits:
- Six hardness scales on one instrument: HL, HB, HRB, HRC, HV and HS are shown directly, so there is no need to look up a conversion chart.
- Forged steel setting: with the impact type D device, the HB value for forged steel is read straight off the screen without a manual look-up table.
- Works in any direction: testing is supported vertically down, diagonally down, horizontally, diagonally up and vertically up, which helps on large or awkward parts.
- Stated accuracy: indication error ±0.5% and repeatability 0.8%, both at HLD=800.
- Preset limits: set upper and lower hardness limits and the tester sounds an alarm when a reading falls outside them, which speeds up batch checks.
- Stores 270 groups of test data in the instrument.
- Clear OLED display: a 128 x 64 graphic dot matrix screen that stays readable in direct sunlight and other lighting.
- Pocket size: 148 x 30 x 30mm and about 77.8g, supplied with a carry bag.
Applications:
- Goods-in checks on steel bars, castings and forgings
- Heat treatment checks on alloy tool steel and stainless steel
- Workshop and maintenance checks on large fixed parts
- Teaching materials testing in schools and training workshops
In the box:
- 1 x hardness tester main unit
- 1 x nylon brush
- 1 x support ring
- 1 x portable bag
- 1 x instruction manual
- 1 x charging head and cable
Note: Leeb testing suits solid metal parts of suitable mass and surface finish. Test on a clean, flat surface and use the support ring on curved parts. Check readings against a known reference block before important work.

A: A hardness tester measures how well a material resists denting or indentation, giving a number that helps compare metals and check heat treatment. This one is a Leeb type that works by rebound and shows the value on an OLED screen.. Q: Is this a Rockwell hardness tester? A: No, it is a Leeb rebound tester. It converts the Leeb reading to Rockwell B and C values (HRB and HRC) and also to HB, HV, HS and HL for reference.. Q: How does a Leeb hardness tester work? A: It fires a small impact body at the surface and measures the rebound, then calculates a hardness value from that. The result is shown in HL and converted to the other scales on the display.. Q: Can it test stainless steel and cast iron? A: Yes. The material list includes stainless steel, grey cast iron, nodular cast iron, alloy tool steel, cast steel and forged steel, plus cast aluminium alloy, brass, bronze and pure copper.. Q: Can it be used on a vertical or overhead surface? A: Yes, it supports 360 degree testing: vertical down, oblique down, horizontal, oblique up and vertical up..
