Floating Chamber Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) I have several sets of weighing scales (5-0-5, and Ohaus beam, etc.) BUT I am after a cheap reliable DIGITAL scale accurate to a tenth of a gram or better, that will enable me to weigh 26 grams dead and quickly, of manky irregular shot, time after time. Any suggestions guys? Edited July 25, 2010 by Floating Chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I got mine of ebay for about £7 and they have been very very good for that money. Maybe that's the place to look, or just go to Maplin and get some off the shelf (that you can return if they aren't up to scratch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions guys? I don`t think the words cheap and reliable go together when talking electronic digital scales, there`s a lot of **** from china on the market. Tony A.

Tony A. There is also the school of thought that says because something is cheap is must be rubbish. This is not always the case by any means.

Bit dusty but will be in post soon. I would look for tobacco scales on there, made for much lighter weights. A lot will do grains as well as grams.

sitsinhedges Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) These are the one I bought, they have been fine. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pocket-Digital-Fuzio...=item2558aa1856 They do switch themselves off after about 10 secs which is irritating sometimes, but at that price. EDIT, the spec is slightly different mine are 100gram but you get the idea Edited July 24, 2010 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 What about these, Andy? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/POCKET-DIGITAL-SCALE...25145a1feefc17a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were no dearer and are consistently accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 The resolution on mine is 0.01gram or 0.2grains so the ones you have chosen should be fine. I think just 0.1 gram would have been to coarse in practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ade has sent for the set off Fleabay, but, in my haste, I went to Maplins and also bought a scale for £19.99! It's only accurate to 0.1 gram but it'll tide me over till the other scale arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
