Highlights
The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is a practical instrument that also beautifies your outdoor space. Inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s flair for invention, this unique device uses a float and lever design to measure up to 7” of rain in 0.2” increments. As rain fills the vial, the red ball rises, causing the steel arm to climb up the scale. This updated model features a more durable design and includes a solid steel deck mount and foundation rod.You May Also Like

Cool!
It was not possible to fully zero the gauge--it's close, but still registers 0.1 inch. The glass tube should be wider to collect a larger cross-section of rain and allow the ball to move more freely and displace less of the water.
- Cons
- Glass tube should be wider (more accurate)
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend to a friend

Looks Good
The rain gauge I received had a defective finish on it. A replacement is on the way. It looked to be of good quality, but without using it I can't talk about its functionality.
