this is a cool thread. im noticing alot of people like the blue lab pen although for the price i would rather buy the meter with seperate probe so if the probe dies i can just replace that.
ive used a blue lab truncheon and will never switch as its a fantastic tool. ive not had a blue lab ph meter yet but i shall be buying one next i think.
Another bluelab devotee here. My Ph pen holds calibration way better than the Hanna it replaced. In fact, the Hanna had too be calibrated every use. I also love my truncheon.
I really do like my blue lab meter that I got as a replacement for my Hanna. I thought I was getting a pen-style meter but I don't think they have one that is a combo.
