Great pipette for painters!
I just started exploring the oil painting realm, and found that I needed something to help me separate the clean turp into a separate jar without accidentally getting paint into the "clean" jar. From reading internet tips I let the dirty turp sit for a couple hours so the paint particles can settle to the bottom, then I would carefully pour the clean layer to another jar until the paint started moving with the turp. I had no idea what to do with the extra small layer of clean turp that was sitting on top touching the dirty layer. I didn't feel like wasting the expensive turp and soaking it up with a paper towel and tossing it out, so I decided to buy a set of these, and they have made the job so much easier. These pipettes are sized appropriately and seem to be made of sturdy glass. I'm not a fan of huge pipettes since I'm more likely to drop them with my clumsy hands, and it's a huge pain figuring out how to store them in the very limited space I have in my room. Turp is a very strong chemical and I was concerned that it might melt the interior/exterior of the pipette, but the markings remain intact. Not to mention, the pipettes are very easy to clean and take apart. Highly recommend this product!

Excellent! Work well with acetone, lacquer thinner
I was curious about the blue coloring; wondered how it would affect being able to see the liquid level; but the ones I received are entirely clear (unlike the product picture).These come in a fitted clear tray that holds the vials snugly; the bulbs are supplied loose. The markings appear to be painted on, but were not affected at all by acetone or lacquer thinner. Also the bulbs were unaffected.After using these I was able to clean them up and they are good to go another day.

Great budget find
I've been using these to mix fabric dyes. The dyes are dissolved in acetone. So, the dropper basically lives in acetone. I've been using the first one from the pack for over 6 weeks now and the level markings haven't even hinted at coming off.I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken, so I'm saying it's durable enough!

Works well
Works well for giving my cat liquid vitamins. The dispensing end of the tube is very narrow so it takes a tiny bit longer to dispense than my old dropper (whose measurements wore off), but it's smaller end makes it very easy to slide next to her gums and cause less distress.Good suction when drawing from the bottle. I'm hoping to use the rest as pipettes for picking up excess paint or adding alcohol in my artwork. I'm glad the rubber stoppers detach so I can clean & reuse them. I wish a pipe washer was included, but no problem. I included a picture to update the packaging, which is now a thin plastic tray slid into a white box/envelope with the tops thrown in after. They arrived unbroken, so I'm pleased. It's not a sturdy stand/holder as pictured in an earlier post.

Great to have extras
I bought these to give medicine to my cats. While they aren't quite as accurate as an oral syringe, I really like that they are reusable. I have a bottle of CBD oil I give one of my cats that comes with a dropper like this, and I just swap out a clean dropper tube each time I give him a dose to avoid contaminating the bottle - they seem to be a universal size. Very convenient.It's a little tricky to get all of the dose out of the dropper, especially with a squirming cat, but I think that's mostly a "me" issue. What I'm measuring is also pretty thick/viscous - with a thin or water-like liquid, I'm sure you'd have no issues. It can be a little tricky to get these as clean as I'd like, but again - I'm using an oil based product. And with a little extra work, they clean up pretty nice!

Works as expected
I am not using these to be precise so I can't comment on how accurate these are, but they do the job, and are easy to clean so 5/5 for me.

Accurate measurements
These droppers are perfect for measuring essential oils and fragrance oils in ml instead of in drops. Using “drops” of oil is highly inaccurate as each dropper or pipette produces a different size drop. Most DIY recipes for aromatherapy, soap, lotion, etc. use a standard of 20 drops per ml. I refuse to use disposable plastic pipettes, as I am personally opposed to single use products when there is an alternative. Glass is inert and easy to clean. After use, I soak them into hot soapy water. I remove the rubber bulb and wash the glass dropper with a small brush meant for cleaning drinking straws. Oil will degrade the rubber bulb, but in normal use the oil doesn’t contact the rubber bulb. I highly recommend these calibrated droppers and will purchase again.
