Review on Electronic Calibration Tweezers Stainless Included by Todd Cowdrey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than most. - Envelopes, shipping and transport accessories

When I bought a milligram scale, I found several different designs. Some were intended for jewelry, with a plastic "hood" covering the weighing platform, but the hood doesn't cover the buttons so they could be accidentally pressed when the scale is being transported, and because of the awkward shape, they're heavy to take with you. . It includes accessories (weight, charging cable, bowl) but there is no space to store them. This is for desktop use only. But some of them have the right elongated shape, and the lid covers everything, making them ideal for carrying without fear of damage. That's why I like this one from ORIA. It is fully enclosed in a rugged case, includes a calibration weight, everything is included and no parts can get lost. I ordered this and a similar one from Maxus. I ended up keeping the other Maxus, but only because it fit in my storage box and this ORIA was a bit wider and didn't fit. However, I found them to be of excellent quality. I've had similar scales weighing up to 10mg and they had trouble weighing small items and the error could be anywhere from 10-20mg. This scale is definitely in the 1 or 2 mg range, which is amazing. Seriously, it can measure photons. Just shine a bright light on it and watch the "weight" of the photons weigh down the scales. He's amazingly sensitive.

Pros
  • High accuracy
Cons
  • High price
