Digital camera reviews of American Weigh 600g x 0.1 Digital Gram Coin Pocket Scale Mini Accurate Gold
Digital camera Review: Very accurate and consistent pocket sized scale.
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this scale to weigh small parts for RC cars and it has performed excellent. As others have mentioned you need to remove the batteries from the unit before using the scale because the batteries are shrink wrapped in plastic. For the price I didn't expect the build quality to be great so I wasn't shocked at the fairly cheap build quality. The plastic casing feels ok but the battery cover feels cheap and loose. The protective cover for the stainless steel weighing platform is not too bad though. The scale is small about 4" x 3" in size but the weighing platform is decently sized covering about 70% of that area.
In terms of ease of use and accuracy it's a great little scale with a nice sized backlit LCD with an auto shutoff to conserve battey power. To get accurate results you need to place it on a flat non-moving surface because this scale is VERY sensitive. I've found the scale to be very consistent by weighing the same objects many times and the results were always within +/- 0.1 grams for small items that are less than 30g. The scale comes ready to use and calibrated from the factory, however if you ever need to recalibrate this model you will need to use a 500g calibration weight, you cannot use smaller calibration weights because they will not calibrate correctly. Also keep in mind that environmental factors will affect the scale readings such as ambient temperature, strong drafts from ceiling fans and magnetic fields.
This is a precision instrument so should be adequately taken care of eg don't drop it, don't let it sit in direct sunlight, don't keep it in high humidity areas and also store the scale lying flat not vertical. All in all a great low cost and accurate pocket sized scale that is very easy to use.
