AvE uses em, had em on an Amazon wish list for price monitoring, was gonna grab 'em when I saw them at $80, but stuff like that I double check elsewhere when it comes time to buy, and I found a set on eBay

Nice, new in box or used?

What if the hardness tester is made out of chinesium? <:thonkang:327933449597878312>

Superior Nippon steel

New in box.

Gonna use em for, well, everything, but the only immediate use is that NWS knockoff pliers I got a while back

Is pliers singular? What if I only bought one item, is it a plier?

its like pants

Considering hydraulic testing equipment costs 500-3500

Scratch testers are good "around this +-5"

Sure there is used 150e compact ones too

Also old soviet/nazi era models for even cheapers

Hooray

It's the phone btw

wait is that bumber actually interesting?

isn't it just an ugly fat border for your phone you paid for to not have?

I think it's the new hypebeast thing

if its properly made it could help protect the phone

how?

Its not going to save your screen

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

usually people drop phones against flat surfaces

so its gonna help just like a normal case would

No they normally drop them on concrete from a height of 4ft

>concrete is not a flat surface

????

Flat is relative

If you drop the corner of your phone on concrete its going to shatter the screen. This aluminium border isnt going to dampen the impact enough to stop that

I think you'd have to test that but if its well made and fits snugly its going to diffuse the force of the impact to a wider contact area for the phone

I find it easier to just not drop my phone

wow dude XD
