I have amassed a number of scales trying to find one that is both able to measure enough weight and give me decent accuracy in grams. Most of hat aI have are tiny, pocket scales that can handle a lot of weight but you can't put anything large on them and still read them plus they are made of plastic and the chemicals eat them up. THEN I FOUND THIS SCALE! Stainless weighing platform, not plastic, so no more chemical erosion. Accurate to 0.1 grams, not rounding to the nearest 0.5g. With the wall adapter, it never needs batteries but I can still move it around with a single 9 volt battery if I want to do so. Finally, it doesn't cost more than $100. The PERFECT scale.
