murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 02:49 am So I already have a small scale that is very accurate up to 2 decimal points. I used this scale for single coins to verify weight. I'd like a scale that would measure ounces preferably for shipping. First class bubble mailers can be sent up to 13 ounces but I don't have a scale that can handle that weight. Any ideas. Preferably a scale that can weigh starting from one ounce and up. The more weight it could handle the better. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe a scale like those used for food My first look would be Harbor Freight, then if I cared more for quality I would look at Northern Tool. Report this Post to the Staff

murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 11:55 pm Thanks guys. D0ubl3Eagle, your scale weights from .2 ounces to 56 pounds? So it is probably accurate for items that would be like 1 to 13 ounces? Mind sharing what scale you have? Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 01:14 am I purchased this about year or two ago and I think the guy I bought it from is no longer selling them. Unfortunately, it has no brand name and I no longer have the box so I have no clue who it is by. It weighs in increments of 0.2oz and works just fine for things between 1-13ozs. If the vast majority of what you are shipping weighs less than a pound and you don't mind it being shipped from Hong Kong, a scale like this one may be sufficient. But if you must have something that has a capacity of greater than 11 lbs, this one might fit the bill. Report this Post to the Staff

HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 3:01 pm I've got this one arriving on Monday, I like the detachable head option. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00739RFHM...M3T1_SC_dp_1 No idea of how it does, but it had enough solid review for me to pull the trigger.
