Are you sure it's mercury? Due to its toxicity manufacturers quit using mercury in thermometers years and years ago.

Digital Probe off of my controller. As an instrument technician I appreciate the value of being able to calibrate my equipment to a known standard.

Yeah maybe its acohol, they have little beads and red
fluid inside. What ever there made out of, i think they
need to drastically re design them.

its called red spirit and yeah, basically alcohol and some other junk. Get yourself a digital, IMO unless you spend a bit more than the $3 for those kind you're wasting your money, no matter what Brad says
