Digital Pocket Scale 50 x 0.001g, Mini Jewelry Gold Lab Carat Powder Weigh Scales with Calibration Weights Tweezers, Weighing Pans, LCD Display, Batteries Not Included

I bought this scale mainly for weighing small gemstones and silver coins, and I’m impressed with how accurate it is. The 0.001g precision really helps when working with tiny items where even the smallest difference matters. What I like: Compact and portable – It easily fits in my drawer and doesn’t take up space on my workbench. Accurate and reliable – I tested it with the included calibration weights, and the readings were spot on. Complete kit – It comes with tweezers, weighing pans, and calibration weights, which makes it ready to use right out of the box. Easy to read – The LCD screen is clear, even in low light. Minor downsides: It’s sensitive to drafts and movement, so it works best on a stable surface. The plastic body feels lightweight, but for the price, it’s acceptable. Bottom line: If you need a small, accurate scale for jewelry, powders, or lab work, this is a solid choice. It does exactly what it promises without any fuss.

Ok, so no, there is NO 'white' powder being measured, but all kinds of the 'Black' stuff..... Soooooo, you can go buy one from the usual sources and pay a fortune for it, or get one from the Bay that doesn't read the same way twice, or you can save a bunch of dough and get this really nifty scale. JARGON ALERT: for those who understand.... My Dillon 1050 needs to be calibrated but once to set up a run depending on the nitrocellulose du jour. This scale read accurate RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. Comes with a calibration weight, so throughout the run, I flip in on, hit it with the calibration weight, pull a filled case, dump it in the handy little formed tray, (also included), it read consistently to .01 GRAINS (yes, it measured directly to grains), then I could return the powder to the case with the formed tray, adjust the 1050 if needed, and roll on. The purchase could be used to handload right from whats in the box. No conversion, no additional tools needed, instantly re calibrates, super precise, and at a REAL budget price. I'm delighted - its the 4th scale I've had - the FIRST one did the job out of the box at a price I thought was reasonable.

The scale is a small simple device that gets the job done without any unneeded complication. The packaging is surprisingly good quality and everything is organized well in it. It comes with some tweezers, a small cup for holding and pouring whatever it is you're measuring, and a 50g weight to verify it's calibrated. The scale itself has a plastic cover you can close over the top to protect it when not in use. The scale appears to be accurate and sensitive to the milligram, so it gets the job done. Since the packaging is so nice, you can even put it away there until you need it. The only flaw I found was in the user manual that came with the scale. It has multiple typos and can be unclear at times. The user manual being so poor really contrasts with the quality of the scale itself, so if they improved that it would make the presentation a little better.

This is the second one of these I've purchased, and I've been quite happy with them. The one thing I will note is that they have a tendency to like being at zero, meaning that they seem to round to zero a little too easily. So in my case I was trying to get several items down to exactly the same weight, so I got one the right weight and zeroed the scale so that I could see how far off the right weight I was. When it seemed like it was a little too easy to get them perfect, I checked the actual weights and found that they varied by a substantial amount, so that's my one issue, don't try having zero be your final weight, that also means you don't want to try and measure tiny amounts that would only weight a few thousandths of a gram without having an offset of some kind. Overall I'm quite happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone needing a high precision scale. (Also make sure the maximum weight is acceptable, this one is quite high for a scale that can measure down to .001 grams, but it's something to keep in mind.

I purchased his scale for my DIY vaping recipes. Right out of the box I calibrated the scale with the 50g wt. that came with it. Boom! Right on the money. The recipe calculator I use calls for 1 ml of liquid to be measured to be used as a baseline. You'd think a scale of this size and for the price wouldn't catch the weight of a drop. Imagine my surprise when I got PG = 1.15g, VG= 1.38g, Flavor = 1.06g. Each drop looked the same, but the scale told me differently. I'd call this a good buy. The scale is small enough to carry in your shirt pocket and the scale plate is protected by the clear plastic cover. The scale plate is removable if you need to clean it or just want to protect the small weighing sensor from shock if you're carrying this item around with you. The readout is large enough to read even if you're not wearing your bifocals. It does not come with batteries, but that isn't a takeaway for me.

I bought this to weigh a dry powder medication/supplement I give daily to my cat (I turn it into a liquid and dispense with an oral syringe). I have to weigh between 100 and 200 milligrams. It seems to be pretty accurate- the included calibration weight is right on the money even several weeks and a hundred uses later. Not sure if it is as accurate as a high-priced scale, but meets my needs for the supplement (it doesn't have to be perfect). Probably in the +/- 5mg range. It boots quickly, and the "tare" function is extremely easy to use and helpful. The numbers are big and easy to read. Batteries are standard AAA and seem to last forever. The only problem is that the cover broke off pretty quickly- the little plastic nib it uses as a hinge isn't strong. But that doesn't bother me much and doesn't affect the operation of the scale.

This scale came to me exactly as described, and as stated is precise to the milligram level. Repeated weighing of the same objects showed minor (~2mg) deviations in measured weights, but this is normal for a scale of this type. You'd be hard pressed to find a scale this portable and this inexpensive that was any more accurate. If extraordinary accuracy was required, you could always take multiple measurements and average the value anyways. Scale came with a small instruction booklet (in English and German), a dish for powders/loose materials, a small pair of plastic tweezers, a 50g calibration weight, and a hinged plastic cover. Instruction booklet was surprising easy to read considering the product's origin. Only minor errors were found in the instructions, and none of them were detrimental to my understanding of the product. My only complaint is that it didn't come with the two required AAA batteries, but that's really not a big deal. The fact that it uses AAA batteries is nice, since many scales of this size use harder to find coin cells. All in all, 5 stars. If you're looking for a compact scale that measures down to the milligram, look no further.

Here is my rough test. v1: I tare the included tray on the scale. Weight is added and the screen reads 00.000g till it jumps to .022g. v2: I tare the included tray on the scale. Take the tray off. Add the previously weighed powder to the tray. Set the tray on the scale and it reads .039g. I believe the method described in v2 is superior in terms of accuracy. I can add or subtract weight in small amounts and it reads accordingly. A pain to use, I wish they would tell you to use it this way. Nothing wrong with knowing the limitations of a product. It works, but they don't know enough about the product to advise you on it's use. It also doesn't cost $200 and I didn't have to build it myself. I'm not sure if this is a win or lose. 3 stars.
