Gauge needle stuck 7.5 pounds after first use. Now he's so high on everything that I have to subtract 7.5 pounds from every reading. No big math problem to fret about. But what's worse, I will never TRUST him. So why own this piece of shit? Well it's too late to go back, albeit unsuccessfully. So my advice is to go to Wally Mart and buy a small electronic device for $6. They are very accurate and if they fail buy three more. Then you get what I have in this turkey.
