Refractometers

[cam89brewer]

I have yet again broken my hydrometer and am considering getting a refractometer instead.
I have a few questions:
Are they very fragile if dropped?
How long do they generally last for? and
What one would you suggest I get?

Broken 4 hydrometers
Had my refractrometer for over 2 years and only just snappedd the plastic flippy thing off.. and you can still use it

Have a look at the many other threads about these.
This is a recent one.
