Are these any good?

Just found this whilst browsing on ebay, not sure how it works as I haven't seen them before.

Anyone enlighten me please?

I haven't seen them before either but they can't possibly be as accurate as a hydrometer.

I would agree, they also only give a final gravity reading which is pointless, and for the price you had may as well buy a hydrometer.
