Does not seal - you need to have something below it to prevent mess

Drips after filling
This thing works fine except the fluid being tested will occasionally drip out. That's OK if you will be making your test over your container. If not you will need to hold your hand under it to avoid making a mess. The plastic walls are very clear so it is easy to read the brix.

Doesn't fit 1 gallon carboy
It works, doesn't seem to leak for me as it did for others but its essentially useless at the moment. It will not fit into 1 gallon carboys

Works Well
As mentioned in other reviews, it is not a perfect seal on the bottom. I tried to use the hydrometer in the sample taker, but it requires a little too much effort in my opinion. I take the sample and fill my 100ml test tube. I normally just do one sample when I am confident fermentation is over so this works fine and allows a taste test as well. If you wanted to do samples during fermentation, it is nice in that you can float the hydrometer in a very small sample size, you just have to be willing to wait for the foam to settle and to balance just right so it floats as there isn't much clearance.

Best product for FG readings
Uses much less volume to take a hydrometer reading than in a standard tube. Has to be held perfectly level to keep the hydrometer from touching the side however it's quite simple. I do also get a few drips from leakage but I have no complaints over a few drops. For me this product is a necessity and makes the process easier.
