[RE-wrenches] Hydrometer tube lost in a battery cell..

[Bill Loesch]

Battery utilizing solar electric and glycol utilizing solar thermal 
wrenches:

If you use a Misco brand, model 7084VP your eye is ~7.5 inches away from 
something less than a drop of fluid (actually a smear of liquid) under a 
lighted cover. Can you use safety glasses with the Extech model?

William, how did the industrial/production hydrometer work out for you?

Thanks,
