Hi Ted, It’s very useful. And I know it’s not meant to be used like I did (compression) and as Alan pointed out. But it did help to verify that some punchings were firmer than others, and not just my imagination.

A Durometer measures hardness, comparable toRockwell testing for metals. Very expensive, unfortunately.

For that, the best tool would probably be a durometer.
