Digital Crane Scale 300kg/660lbs 200kg/440lbs with LED Handheld Mini Hanging Scale for Garage Farm Hunting Fishing Etc(200kg/Plastic Shell/Orange)

This is a great weigh scale which I used for calibrating Bicycle Spoke Tensiometers!Likes:1. Very inexpensive.2. Great reputation.3. Accurate.4. Great Capacity for heavy objects.5. Attachment ring and hooks are robust (heavy gage steel).6. Very readable display with huge backlit digits.7. Can be used with rechargeable Eneloop AA batteries.Dislikes:1. Display digits are very readable unless you try to view them at an oblique angleSpoke Tensiometer Calibration Jig Details (See photos)Most inexpensive spoke tension meters are not calibrated or at least don't have any calibration documentation. This Outmate Digital Crane Scale has the weight capacity and format to measure the tension of a sample bicycle spoke (ie. from 50 to 150 kilograms force or kgf). A simple jig as shown in the attached photos can be used to create the desired tension on a spoke while cross-referencing it's reading to a Spoke Tensiometer coupled to the spoke under tension.The crane scale readings for the tension measurement application provided a great calibration curve and provided very consistent results over several sessions. (See example attached).

I use this for weighing panniers on goat packs for weight distribution. I like the size and the easy to read scale

Bought 3 for the holidays. The men loved them! They use for fish and deer! Great for your hunter and fishermen

This scale is adequate for my purposes (weighing plastic tubs of hay for horses) but I agree it's almost impossible to read unless you're looking at it close to straight on. The other thing is that while the weight reads out in hundredths of a pound or kilogram, it's not measuring any more precisely than approx a tenth of a pound or kilogram. Ex: If I get a weight of 4.84 lbs, the next higher reading is 4.96. You'll never see anything between 4.84 and 4.96. The next highest after that is 5.08. There's nothing between 4.96 and 5.08. I can easily live with that for what I'm using it for, but the people who say beware of using it for commercial purposes are correct.

Very well built, easy to use, accurate to 1/10 of a pound, and reasonably priced... Whats not to like?... unless youre the manufacturer who probably wont get repeat customers since they wont ever need another scale. Solid product.

Never got to use it. Did not try during return period but when I did try it never would come on with new batteries. Bad choice.

Looks flimsy on Amazon website but pleasantly surprised when received. It’s actually pretty robust and I’m confident it’ll perform as specified.

Good for close estimate
