Great product, but definitely try it.

At first I doubted the accuracy of the cheaper scales. Upon receipt, the scale was turned on and earned, with no damage. I decided to test the scale's accuracy on several new coins. Two new pennies weigh 2.49 grams and 2.50 grams; on site! I then tested a 2016 nickel coin and got 5.00 grams; to the point again! Now I'm ready to use my new Marantz TT-15S1 turntable and have reduced the stylus to exactly 2.21 grams, which is in line with the manufacturer's recommendations. Great product but be…

  • Lots of stuff

Not a happy camper.

I've been waiting for this. I opened it and found NO BATTERIES! Also, there were creases on the packaging as if it had been opened before and probably resold to me. I decided that instead of bothering with returns, I would just go to the local store and buy some batteries. Vain. After over an hour and 5 stores I still couldn't find this particular battery even with cross referencing a brand I could find. Gave it up, returned it and got a more accurate and expensive one that uses AAA batteries…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Accurate, functional scales - why pay more?

Most people probably don't need to measure downforce that often, so I don't see the point of spending more than $100 on a force scale if it works well. I tested accuracy with the included weight and mine was accurate. Then I checked the downforce and found it to be in the expected range – I set it at 1.5 grams on the counterweight and the scale said 1.47 grams. The counterweight markings are never accurate (that's why you get a force scale) so that was a pretty expected result and it boosted my

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring package

Look elsewhere if you can afford it.

At first it seemed to work quite well and the bottom of the unit fits perfectly as intended when placed on the plate and arm. I have a better quality kitchen scale at home that agrees that the box weight attached to this unit is 5 grams, but shortly after using it twice this product no longer accurately measures the attached 5 gram weight and it does not zero the instructions there will not be. back to the correct zero. The closeness to zero was still far enough that using it could result in…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

It's great - if you can figure out the batteries!

I would like to give 5 stars. This is just an issue that I'm a little surprised more people haven't figured out. And these are batteries. 2x1.5 V AG12 batteries are required for this. So I jump into my local CVS to buy these things. And they don't exist. This is because they are numbered 301/386 by manufacturers like Duracell. It took me a while to figure it out! Once I found out I was buying the correct batteries, I put them in and waited for "0.00" to show up as instructed and all I got was a

Pros
  • Weight

  • Some small things
