Allen Sportsman's Scale, 550 Lb. High-Capacity Review

I corrected it and tried to reset it. I couldn't reset it. He read 120 pounds. I hung a deer that weighed over 100 pounds. He rose to 160 pounds. I took the deer off, it still weighed 160 pounds.

The scale is heavy. I haven't gotten one with a scratched face. When mine arrived one of the screws holding the dial was out of the hole. I removed the transparent face and tried to screw it back in, but the hole was too big for the screw. So I had to get a larger diameter screw and the problem was solved. I look forward to using the scale in the field.

Received the other day and checked on delivery. I read a few reviews that said it fell apart, but I had everything in one computer and all the screws were tight. I took it out and used it several times, weighing the beaver I caught. It looks pretty accurate and durable. I really like him and can't complain about him. Maybe if others buy this they can just check the screws when they unbox it just to be on the safe side.

The other reviewer is right, the packaging is not good so the scale will be a bit worn when you receive it. This does not affect readability. Overall it works well and is more accurate than I expected. I also like that the metal hooks are strong and have wide holes. I can't speak for long term use as I've only used it a couple of times but if you just want a working scale then this is the one for you. If you're concerned about looks, you should probably be looking at a different scale class…

Scale works perfectly, the quality corresponds to the price. But I can't give a full 5 stars because the first scale they sent me literally fell apart in the box. I opened the box and there was loose nuts and scales at the bottom of the box and the scale didn't work. The seller sent me a prepaid return label and sent me a new scale that worked fine. So, good support from the seller and a product that works as expected now that I've received the correct one.
