📦 Compact and Portable Analog Postal Scale for Precise Weight Detection Review

Not bad. This is a backup and a second look at the weight. It is what it is and definitely worth a little money. It shows 3 grams per nickel, which is 2 grams less. Although other points were true.

I've been using this scale for years and have never had a problem with it, if I sit on it and it bends it doesn't matter because it's very cheap but it's pretty accurate, the best way to scale your check used nickel and it should weigh 5 grams

Just a good old analogue letter scale. For the times when you doubt digitization and that your batteries are at the top. Because we all want a true and honest weight, right? They've been around for years and I've never seen anyone do anything wrong.

On the first try the indicator needles wanted to stick to the scale, resulting in very inaccurate readings. I carefully folded them out and it came out pretty neat; I weighed them an American Nickel and it only showed 5 grams. I only wish it was made in the USA and not China.

I used US nickel to calibrate my postage scale. All nickels since 1965 weigh exactly 5 grams. When I weighed the nickel, the scale showed 4 grams; So I hung a large paper clip (1 gram) on the scale to achieve the required 5 grams. The scale now works well enough for my purpose.

I've had a very similar scale for many years and because it's mechanical you don't need batteries. I check each with a nickel (5 grams) and as many nickels as I have (and fit in the clip) to check linearity. All three passed the exam. Most of the time I only tick "1 or more than an ounce" on large cards and bubble envelopes. Your desk at work or in your car and one in your briefcase or purse. Better than guessing, you need 3 46 cent stamps when you only need two. One of the clip on the wire…
