SamsoniteManual Luggage Scale, Black, One Size

Excellent product. Dependable Analog display. The electronic scales are nice but the batteries fail at the most inopportune times. This product does not need batteries! Very inexpensive and works. Accurate.

SAMSONITE MANUAL LUGGAGE SCALE, BLACK, ONE SIZE.I bought this for one purpose, to weigh my carry-on luggage. On my last international trip, I checked in at the gate and my carry-on luggage was 5 pounds overweight. I had to either check it or reduce the weight, but 5 pounds is a lot of weight to reduce from your luggage. Luckily, the gate agent didn’t re-weigh my carry-on before boarding so I lucked out.There are lots and lots of luggage scales on AMAZON. Most are digital that require a button-size battery. I wanted to avoid one that needed a battery. In doing my research, I came upon a travel magazine article on different luggage scales and the Samsonite was rated one of the most accurate compared to similar priced digital scales.Although this is a very simple scale to use, using it right out of the package will result in an inaccurate reading. You have to set the two (red and black) arms to the 12 o'clock position by turning the black center knob in the middle of the face. The black arm will show the pounds. The red will show the ounces.After setting the two arms to 12 o'clock, I tested its accuracy by individually weighing 2.5-pound, 5-pound, and 10-pound dumbbell / barbell plates. The scale was very accurate.If you are going to buy a luggage scale, be certain to get one with a HOOK. The hook makes weighing luggage or anything similar so much easier.This is small and light enough to carry with you to the airport. I read a report that airport luggage scales can be very inaccurate and read OVER the actual weight. The SAMSONITE SCALE might help if this happens.

Ease of use. Works well. Great quality

Handy luggage scale . I appreciate that it does not use batteries and won't run out of power between uses. Not perfectly accurate but close enough to keep me from paying extra.

This Samsonite hand scale is portable but not as tiny as one may expect. It weighs 6oz. When the handle retracted and the hook folded to the back, it’s 5-inch in length. The black hand remains at reading position after load is removed, unless being reset manually to 12 o’clock position, a convenient feature for a mechanical scale. The reading is within half pound when compared to the other scale I have. I feel it is sturdier than the smaller digital hand scales sold on Amazon, and saves battery replacement. It also includes a built-in tape measure up to 1 meter or 40-inch max, which is a plus.

I bought the digital hand scale and it lasted about 5 minutes so I purchased manual scale and it is perfect. I used it right away and got an accurate reading for my luggage weight. It is well constructed and does not require batteries.

Great quality product for a great price. I personally like manual luggage weight scale because it is more accurate and saves you on buying batteries for digital scale.

Avoid reshuffling suitcase contents at the ticket counter because you packed too much. Easy to use and accurate.
