Durometer to check tip hardness

[3andstop]

Anyone interested, I have a durometer. I bought it and used it to check two tips ... never used it again.

I'll sell it for 25 dollars and that includes the shipping in USA. Comes with padded case also.

i have seen them test the hardness of wood
but i never heard of leather

i thought the tips were too soft for this kind of testing

I found that it is good as an initial gauge but feel is most important. Good inexpensive tool to have.

Is the unit for measuring SHORE A, or SHORE D?
EDIT
On putting on my eyeglasses, the unit indicates a D, which is for very hard readings
EDIT
Shore D would NOT be suitable for testing the hardness of cue tips.
Am I mistaken?
