The Max-Hand 2000 durometer is WESTport Rex Gauges latest innovation for the testing of specimens with creep. The Max-Hand 2000 has a max- hand and an active hand for observing the creep characteristics of a specimen. What makes the Model 2000 unique is the magnetic-drag maximum reset mechanism. The user simply rotates the reset knob on the front of the gauge to clear the previous reading. The simplicity of the reset mechanism ensures a lifetime of use and makes the Max- Hand 2000 the most affordable durometer for testing specimens with creep.
