Digital Scale 01 - pocket scale, digital

Click here for more information No other reviewer mentions what calibration weight this scale requires. An information I wish was available when I ordered it. Although I did my homework I still wasn't able to find this info anywhere. This info should have been sent by the manufacturer to Amazon. The only clue you get from Amazon -even though it is not their fault - is in the "frequently bought together" section where a 50g calibration weight is suggested. So I bought the 50g only to discover (once I opened the box and read the instructions) that the manufacturer of the scale specifically requires a 500g calibration weight for this scale. This information is essential, I believe, and should have been made available to Amazon by the manufacturer. More so, I tried to contact the manufacturer and left a message asking them to tell me which calibration weight they recommend before I buy the scale. They never bothered to call me back. For this I give the manufacturer a rusty 1 star. How you treat customers is almost as important as the quality of your product.

For the way the scale functions I give it 4 stars- it seems to work very well for the weights that it is designed to measure - (down to .1 g or 100mg). To Amazon, who tried to fix my problem, I give 5 shining stars! but I'm still waiting to see the info changed here, so that no more people buy the wrong calibration weight like I did, despite all my efforts to find out which one was required! So get the 500g calibration weight if you think you will need one for this scale.

American Weigh Blade 1000 Digital Mini Pocket



I was looking for a mini portable digital scale to measure food and ingredients for cooking and eating. I searched online and saw this scale as the best one out of all that I had researched. Best for the following: best price, cute, compact, portable, has carrying case offering protection, weighs items up to 1000 g, could weigh in oz, g, and something else.



I contacted the seller and he replied exponentially fast and he answered all of my questions! (Other sellers I had contacted did not reply sadly.) And the product arrived quickly as well to Bellingham (they don't ship to Canada).



I'm loving my new scale ... it's proving to be very handy. And oh, it came calibrated! I tested it with an American nickel and it showed up as 5 g!



Thank you ... I'm as happy as can be and would recommend this scale and this company to others with great faith!

The first vendor sent me the wrong scale, but Amazon made it right finding another vendor and honoring the original price. Kudos to Amazon for great customer service. As for the review. The scale is fine as are the other American Weigh pocket scales. They are good products, accurate and reliable. I also have the 650g unit which I really like. Just pick the one that suits your needs re: size, weight capacity and resolution (.1 or .01g). This one is a little biggger than some but it has two trays and a leatherette case. 4 Stars because the unit and outer tray was a bit scratched / marred and not really pristine. I never calibrated them as they are very close to my calibration weights and each other and I surely do not need precision more than .1g per 100g. Oh - by the way, I heard a rattle inside and eventually took it apart. Couldn't find the problem but after re-assembling and studying it more carefully I discovered it was the push buttons themselves on the blade. No problem though.

I bought this primarily for weighing model train rolling stock (cars) and locomotives. It's reliable - and phenomenal.



The shell it comes in fits snugly over the scale, so I just use my smallest precision screwdriver to nudge up the lid and open it - a tiny inconvenience. Eventual it may loosen, but it doesn't really matter.



The scale weighs in .xx oz or .xx g, the TARE features works great, and it times out quickly to save battery life. When you fold out the arm (in picture) with the buttons, a foot on the bottom of the arm keeps it nice and level. It came in a vinyl/faux-leatherette sleeve that protects it nicely. I can weight the weights I'm going to add to a car (e.g., spare nuts or other metal) and get the weight precisely to NMRA standards. Our derailments (which are frustrating) dropped like a stone after bulking up all our rolling stock to NMRA stds. 1000 g max, but I'll not come near that with my application (HO scale).



I couldn't find a product anything near this one in quality and reliability in any brick-and-mortar store (kitchen center, home center, cook shop, discount, department, etc.). A great value; highly recommended.

I really LOVE this scale. I love the fact that when I start it up if I have the container on it already it subtracts the container's weight from the measurement. I love that it's really small and compact, I always have it with me. The case itself can act as the container to hold the food. My scale was already calibrated and I checked the weight with a nickle, which weighs 5 grams and it was perfect. I would definitely purchase again, I highly recommend this scale! - Pocket Scale - Digital - Weed - American Weigh - Kitchen Scale - Digital Scale 01

Click here for more information First, this little guy requires a 100g or 200g calibration weight - if you want to calibrate it. So don't buy a 50g like I did. ;) Oops. Now you know the competence of this operator/reviewer.



Second, the patriotic side of me chose this over the competition because it's an "American Weigh Scales" product. "Keep jobs in America", thought I. "Don't import another piece of rubbish."



Well, it's not rubbish, but in big bold letters on the case: "MADE IN CHINA". Oops. So much for keeping jobs in America. That said, I have nothing against Chinese products, so groovy. Was just half-trying to do my patriotic duty.



I bought this because I'd like some precision in my scale - 1/100th of a gram scale for under $20!? Great! Well, yeah, but... If you REQUIRE precision, this one may not be the best bet (HUGE surprise, it's under $20.) Oh well. Even weighing the calibration weight leads to incorrect readings every time.



Put the weight on, calibrate, 100g. Take the weight off, 0g. "Perfect!"



Repeat experiment, no calibration. Put weight on, "100.03g". Take weight off, "0.02g". Oh. Hmph.



So, it's not brilliant, nor should it be for the price, but it's not terrible. I suppose it will do. =) But if you want to keep jobs in America, better to spend $70 for one that really works precisely well.



+ Light, seemingly durable, compact, works okay

- Cheap build quality and feel, works okay



Overall, much as expected. Just hoped it'd worked a little better than it does. Definitely not terrible, I'd even venture good - considering the price!

The scale is really really good for the price. Some reviewers have commented about different readings for the same measurement, but keep in mind that the scale does have a margin of error, as all measurement devices do. If you are selling enriched uranium or precious gems I can see how this would be an issue, but then again you probably shouldn't be using a $15 scale anyway.



My only complaint is that its build quality is somewhat flimsy, but then again it is $15.



Great deal for the price.

I needed a small gram scale for a moisture test (weight gain of a test kit over time). After looking at several sources (kitchen supply mainly) I couldnt find anything less than $50. I decided that pinpoint accuracy wasnt needed for this test and bought this scale, just a reasonalbe differential between the beginning and ending weights.. The test kit was preweighed by the lab, and was 32.7 g. (they round down the intial weight to tenths). The weight on this scale: 32.75, identical for these purposes.

It's hard to beat this product for the price. I'd hoped to use it for metallic reloading, but repeatability on mine turned out to be +/- 0.2 grains. Reading the fine print in the documentation that came with the scale, this is in fact the published rating. I wish that bit of info was provided in the product's description. The 0.01 grams listed is about 0.15 grains. That accuracy is better than needed for checking for double loads but not precise enough to allow me to use it as my primary scale. The scale returns its measurement very quickly. If the circuitry didn't lock in a weight as quickly as it does, it might actually be able to measure more precisely.

This is an excellent little scale - I was really surprised how compact it is. I bought it for reloading and for weighing my kids' AWANA Grand Prix/BSA Pinewood Derby cars. After zeroing the scale, the 100g calibration weight weighed in at 100.05 grams. Calibration was very simple and intuitive, and resulted in a perfect, repeatable 100.00 reading. I weighed a piece of deprimed 308 Winchester brass on my sensitive RCBS 505 balance scale (157.2+ grains), then weighed it on the digital scale - they were within .2 grains (0.013 grams) of each other, and the digital scale alternatively measured 157.2 and 157.4. Seeing as the actual weight was really on the strong side of 157.2, I can understand the alternating readings.



The scale will weigh up to 200 grams (7.05 ounces, .44 pounds), which is perfect for a 5 ounce max Pinewood Derby car. It was one of the few reasonably priced scales that would measure to the 1/100th of a gram, and use has shown it to be very accurate. For my highly precise rifle reloading it's not *quite* accurate enough (+/- 0.15 grains) to measure powder (that's what the 0.1 grain RCBS scale is for), but for practice rounds it is plenty accurate. I'll be using it for sorting brass and bullets and checking for double loads.



Overall, this is an excellent little scale for a great price.

This little bugger is quite good.

Sadly, I can't dive too deep into this product due to its overall simplicity... It's a scale... It's made to weights things... It does its job well.





Its the overall size of a hand, give or take. The platform you weight things is 3" horizontal, 2 1/2" vertical.

On the back of the flip cover there is a release lever to remove said flip cover. Nifty, but not the smoothest thing ever(can be a bit of a fiddle to get it to work right).



The device comes in a leather case, which I do like.



The screen is - in fact - a touch screen, and has a nice blue back-light. I was worried about the touch screen at first(bad past experiences) but it works like you would want it to.



It has several modes for various weight types, but can only go up to about ~200g... unless I am doing something wrong.(why read the manual, anyway?)

The accuracy is as close as I could ask, sometimes it's a few 0.01g off on an object, but close enough for what you pay for it.



Long story short: I like it, I would buy another one, but don't expect I'll need to. - Digital Scale 01 - Weighing Scale - Gram - American Weigh - Digital - Grains
