Default Anything better then the standard acid test kit?

I normally tag my wine supply orders with my beer supplies. (I make
more beer then wine)

I have bought 2 different acid kits from different suppliers.

These seem cheap and hard to work with.

I ran across this website, which I have never bought anything from.

Any comments on the better acid test kit they have listed?

Acidometer Acid Test Kit

Includes calibrated 20 ml glass test tube and stand, blue indicator
solution and litmus papers. Gives direct reading in grams tartaric/lite.
Vinoferm SO2 Solution can be used with the Acidometer test kit to
measure SO2 in wine.

Yes, check Presque Isle

They have some very nice, high quality, science lab grade kits. They are
not cheap but they are excellent. I have one that ran about $100 and am
very pleased. In using it with the instructions they sent I was, for the
first time, able to detect the color changes in titrating red wines.
