EISCO Plastic Graduated Cylinder, 500mL - Class B - Stable Hexagonal Base - Premium Polypropylene - Lab Cylinder, Measuring Cylinder

Big should work great in the shop. Wide base so har to tip over.

Just what I needed

Item was tough and rugged until I ran it over. I will order a new one.

This is a really good graduated cylinder for my purpose. The spout comes to a sharp point and pours nicely without spills. I use this graduated cylinder to measured feeding formula for my son who is fed via feeding tube and for years have struggled getting accurate measurements for the 350-400ml amounts. To easily wash this tall cylinder, I did buy a 16 inch bottle cleaner (from Amazon) because a 12 inch was too short. The only small criticism I have is that as another customer review mentioned, the plastic is a milky white and the numbers are difficult to read. For my purpose though, I had no qualms about marking the cylinder with a sharpie. Other than that, for my purpose, this is a wonderful graduated cylinder that pours well.

Sturdy, well marked. It does the job.

Measuring the ingredients for compost tea. Accuracy of +/- 10% is fine so not of a real concern. My ingredients are dark which helps visibility. Cylinder is strong enough to hold up in my shop.

I added labels to the major increments of mine so I could avoid making mistakes. It's just blank HDPE with raised lettering for the increments - almost unreadable without contortions. Nicely sturdy, easy to use - with the labeling. Sharpie would work too, but...I added this to my bartending setup so I could accurately mix large-ish Igloo-size cocktails for parties. Wayyy better than any measuring cup, like, throw those things out.

Time of virus. Need to turn 95% alcohol into 60. This is cheapest and with good reviews. Embossed marks are hard to read for these old eyes but acceptable. Marks are raised plastic but same color. I have nothing accurate to compare so won't give more stars for accuracy.
