ACU-RITE Hygrometers
Is anybody else using these? I picked up 3 from WalMart, they are about $15 each. I've been using them in my coolers and tupperdor for a while and never salt tested them. Well since I had the day off yesterday I decided to test them and what do you know one was 72, one was 73, and one was at 74, so they seem pretty accurate and cheap.

Re: ACU-RITE Hygrometers
They work pretty good. I use the Western Calibur II and the Radio shack units. They work good too.

Re: ACU-RITE Hygrometers
My Wal-Mart doesn't stock em

They had plenty of thermometers & rain gauges, but no hygrometers. Look in the area with the thermometers.

Re: ACU-RITE Hygrometers
Found em in Coffeyville, Ks. today & bought one. If it works ok, it will be a good deal. I have it in my fridgador with one from Radio Shack. It is reading 67% right now while the RS one is reading 70%. We'll see how close they jibe by morning.
