I Need a New Digital Scale .... Any Suggestions
Well my old trusted digital scale died...RIP. Of course that company is now out of buisness [:@]
I need a new accurate digital building scale for planes in the 2 - 10# size.
Any suggestions on manufacturers / models / sources would be greatly appreciated
thanks,
Bill

LSF2298,
That one looks sweet and the price is sweet too! Over the years I have purchased several items from Harbor Freight and have been satisifed.
Is this scale also sensitive enough to grade sheet balsa ?

Bill

I have a 25# x 1.0 oz. hanging fish scale that I love. For lighter and more accurate measurements, I use a digital kitchen scale - 1# x 0.1 oz/454 x 0.1 grams. Postage scales are good and extremely accurate, too. One of the MOST accurate and sensitive scales is still the triple-beam sliding balance. It only measures small weights, but it will grade balsa easily.

Well, it will measure in GRAMS up to a total of 5000 grams so I think that is good enough for grading balsa. And it does not come with an AC adapter but you can use a 6 Volt one if you have. It uses 4 AA batteries and I have been using it for over a year now without changing. If you ship anything by USPS Priority Mail using the Web, it's great for that also. It has an auto shut off feature so the batteries last a pretty good while. It also has the TARE feature so you can set a container on it and then zero the scale to only measure the contents. Good luck!
