150lb Shipping Postal Scale Digital
This is absolutely perfect for what I use it for. I wanted something that was in the 100-150 lb range, and I could weigh boxes with it. Because it has a separate readout gage from the scale, that means I can put as big of boxes as I want on it to weigh. It's also pretty wide, about as big as an average bathroom scale.
When I got it, I dropped the readout gage on a hard surface, so I thought I'd broken it, but it was still in perfect perfect condition.
Also, it always goes back to 0.00 lbs after I weigh stuff. I don't have the tools and stuff to measure the accuracy and precision, but from just a rough feel, it seems really good. Even though it measures in 0.05 pound increments, that doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate within 0.05 lbs. But, it does always go back to 0.00 lbs, even after weighing heavy stuff, so that's a great sign.
I always use it with the battery, because it's just so convenient, and the battery lasts a long time, but it does come with an outlet plug, too.
They also made this thing a clock. I'm really confused why they did it, as I'm sure we all don't need another digital clock blinking at 12:00 am, but it's kind of cool.
Pros:
+Great accuracy, 0.05 pounds up to 150 lbs.
+Very sturdy
+Can use either battery or outlet for power
+Lasts a long time on a battery
+Stretched, the readout gage probably goes 6 feet
+Lighted display on readout
+Doubles as a clock when you're not using it.
Cons:
-If you jump up and down on it, it will probably break
-Shuts off after just a few seconds to conserve battery life
-Unstretched, the readout gage only goes a couple feet

This scale is fantastic. It is easy to use, accurate and I love that all you need to work it is a 9 volt battery... No plug required - although one is furnished if you want to plug it in.
Would recommend it to anyone...

I'm not an expert on scales. But I would go out on a limb and say this is a great deal. The scale is simple, easy to use and seems very accurate. Best of all, it appears sturdy. I expect it to hold up for a while. Lets keep our fingers crossed...
I wanted a heavy duty scale that didn't cost a fortune, so I got this scale. It's not a space hog which is nice, and is accurate after performing a few weighing tests with it.
Pros:
- Relatively small but can weight up to 330 pounds.
- Display is not mounted on the scale so you can place large boxes and see what the weight is (that was the problem with my old scale).
- It displays pounds as 1.4 pounds (decimal format) as well as pounds and ounces (2 pounds, 2 ounces). It also displays weight in Kilograms
- Has a tare function
- The weighing area is large enough that a big box could be placed on it and the cable to the display is long enough that the display can be moved out of the way of big boxes.
- Came with a good warrenty
Cons:
- The back light in the LCD screen is a bright blue when the scale is weighing (when not weighing, it's the normal black on gray LCD color)
- When the scale is "off" the LCD displays the time. That's okay except for it will wear down the battery eventually.
Overall, great scale, glad I got it.
This is a great little scale. I compared what it weighed to the scale at the FedEx dropoff location and it was spot-on.

while I've only used this for packages under 30 lbs, it works great, takes up only a little space and was reasonably priced....
We shopped around for a new scale and found this one to be the best and low priced. We ship a lot of boxes so its important to have a scale that is accurate and easy to use.
It is battery operated or you can plug this in the wall with the AC Adapter. The cords for the readout and AC adapter are pretty long so that helps as well. I also like the bluelit light for the weight readout.
It would be great if the scale was a little bigger for those really large boxes we ship, but its not a big deal.
Six months have gone by and I am still very happy with our purchase. You will not be disappointed!
I purchased this scale when my old manual one broke. After doing some research, I felt this one would be the best for my money and I wasn't wrong. If your looking for a good scale that you can move easily, work with a battery (which is included) or plug into the wall - I think you'll be happy with this one. The only thing is it doesn't register or "know" when much less than 4 ounces is on it. However; this isn't an issue for me, but felt it should be included for those that it may matter to. The digital readout is nice as you can mount it on the wall or move it out of the way with larger packages. Simple to set up and use.
