Review on Outmate Mini Digital Crane Scale 300Kg/600Lbs With LED (Plastic Shell by Robert Yates

Let me start by saying that if you're trying to decide between a plastic or metal body for this scale, choose metal! The durability of this device is amazing! Every part is metal, even the battery compartment (I need devices in the army that can withstand shock). The shackle and hanging hook are very thick and don't seem to flex under more than the rated weight. The user interface is very easy to use and allows reading data from three different weight formats. The reason I didn't give that 5 stars is because the battery box could have fitted these batteries better. Either I missed the instructions or the bay size was wrong, but I didn't see what the correct battery size should be. I currently use two AA batteries and have had no problems so far!
