I wanted an inexpensive scale to weigh my bike and bike components. This small scale exceeded my expectations. Very easy to operate and I love the locking feature that freezes the weight reading as soon as the weight is stabilized. This allows me to lift my bike with the scale and when I hear the beep I can put the bike down and then read the weight and in pounds, oz or kilograms. The latter reads out to three decimal places. The scale also has a tare setting so that one can make a harness and have the scale zero out the harness weight so that only what is in the harness is being weighed. This was exactly what I wanted and at better price than I had hoped for.

Nice little device! I bought this to weigh my propane tanks to see how much gas remained prior to a long cook. To test it out, I measured weight plates from my garage and received the following results
Stated Weight on Plate/Measured Weight from Scale 2.5/2.64 5/5.25 10/9.92 25/24.64 45/44.4
The differences were both positive and negative and did not vary much by total weight. Since I can be sure that my weight plates are exactly as stated, this is good enough for me. The key for me was to ensure that it measured reasonably well across a spectrum of weights and that it wouldn’t break at the higher weights. So far, so good on that account, but only time will tell.

I use this to weigh the fish that I catch. You can put this scale on the net, set the tear weight and then put the fish back in the net for a clear, easy weight. The best part is that you don’t have to stab the fish to get the weight. The fish rests comfortably in the net and you get your weight without hurting the fish. Every catch and release fisherman should have one!
It also lights up like the pictures show, and it’s very bright and clear. Which is a great solution for catching monster fish while night fishing! It automatically lights up only when you’re taking a weight, so the battery stays strong.
This is not like other digital scales that I’ve used that were specifically designed for fishing. Those scales bounce all over the place and you can never truly tell where to call it. This scale bounces around for about 3 seconds then stops on the actual weight.
The unit that I received was set to standard pounds on arrival, so don’t worry about having to read your weight in metric units. The scale is good up to 110 pounds, so you never have to worry about your scale not going high enough to measure any monster fish that you might catch.
The only gripe that I have is that the handle seems to have been designed with small people in mind, and I can only get 3 fingers in it. Sort of makes weighing big angry fish just a little bit tougher. But overall this thing is awesome for the prices!
