Digital Pocket Scale 600g x 0.1g with LCD Display Gram, Ounce, Carat, Grain for Coins, Jewellery, Gemstones, Metals, Kitchen, Food & Medicines – Black

Actually I bought it 6 years, 11 months, and 21 days ago...I may as well be exact as this scale...Back then it cost $16.35 + $5.58 shipping since I didn't have Prime yet...I'd gladly pay the same amount for another one, but this one still functions as if it was brand new... Some reasons why this is a kickass scale, whether old or new : -The blue backlighting is a discrete convenience... -Two AAA batteries last a very long time... -Even if it DID eat batteries, the chamber in back holds a spare set... -If I didn't know how to use it, all I'd have to do is look at the lid/tray... -Still accurate to within 1/100 of a gram, according to my other scales... -Fits in a jeans pocket no problem, and goes wherever I go... -Doesn't need constant calibration...(Haven't calibrated it this YEAR, but it's still dead on) -Tare function comes in very handy when weighing hundreds of pills at once... -Didn't cost much, so I don't really care if it gets a bit banged around... -The fact that it CAN get banged around... A few things I've learned : -It must be on a flat, stable surface or it won't read right... -The heavier you can make that surface the better, even if it's just a large book... -To get the best accuracy, press down a little (as lightly as possible) when placing on whatever you are weighing...Don't know why this works, but it does... -Adjust the position so that the majority of the mass is resting on the center of the weighing platform... -To clean, breathe on the metal and wipe with something that won't leave traces, such as a shop rag, eyeglass cloth, etc. while the scale is off...I usually do this a few times... -A bill from your wallet should weigh exactly 1 gram, and makes for a quick tray with plenty of shape options...A fast tool... Difficult to go wrong with AWS...Employ common sense and it works fine... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Hopes this helps... GOOD LUCK !!!

I mistakenly ordered a fifty gram weight to calibrate this scale with and learned the hard way that I needed a five hundred gram weight to accomplish this. But I should start at the beginning here... When the box arrived, I opened the box and turned the scale on and it began to give weird readings. Nothing was on the scale to be weighed but the screen kept showing readings from .8 to .4 to 0 to .4 ... I assumed that the thing needed to be calibrated so I followed the easy instructions inside the lid of the scale and began the easy calibration steps. The only problem was, I only had a 50 gram calibration weight and you can ONLY calibrate this scale with a 500 gram weight. Once I had begun the calibration procedure, using the incorrect weight, the scale was locked in the calibration mode and I couldn't do anything with it. Disgustedly, I called the manufacturer for technical support. The support tech was polite and helpful but the only recommendation he had was that I order the correct weight or take the scale to a jeweler and see if they would calibrate it for me. I was really disgusted at this point. I did a search on Google to see what I could use instead of the proper weight and learned that 100 nickels weigh 500 grams. So I went through my coin jar and counted out 100 nickels into a plastic sandwich bag. I used this to calibrate the scale and then tested the scale with the 50 gram weight that I had. It was off by a smidge so I added a little piece of cardboard to the bag of nickels and recalibarated the scale again and tested it with the 50 gram weight again. I had to do this a few times but eventually got it right. The scale works perfectly now and I really like it. It's accurate. It's compact. It has a nice protective cover. It uses AAA batteries instead of button cells. It turns itself off after several seconds to conserve the batteries. It's easy to read. Moral of the story here: Buy the correct calibration weight -- 500 grams -- or get lots of nickels. I'm glad that I at least had the 50 gram weight to test with. Otherwise I would have been running all over the house looking for products that are weighed in grams to test the calibration with.

Came quick and very accurate for measuring bullion!

Good Product !

Very precise and looks sturdy enough to last for years to come. My only complain is I wish it could weight more than 350g, but advertise for a max of 300g so I knew when I bought it.

Una excelente gramera, ha durado mas de un año y hasta fecha aún sirve, duradera y muy comoda, nada grande y todo excelente

Impeccable. Je l'utilise pour peser du houblon pour le brassage de bière. La fonctionnalité de remise à zéro lorsqu'il y a un récipient dessus est parfaite.

Good
