Super User ATA Posted May 26, 2022 Super User Posted May 26, 2022 That I can weight 1/64oz to 30oz. I need it for the fishing lures and gear. there are so many in market, I want to know if you have something that you sure it is exact and working good. I bought one and it is garbage, Going to toss it into bin. Quote

We had one at work that was accurate to .1 gm, and it was balls on on all counts, but it was almost $500. Why do we need this for fishing? 1 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted May 26, 2022 Super User Posted May 26, 2022 There are some coffee scales that are very accurate and won’t cost a kidney. I keep one on my boat and will take a pic tomorrow 1 Quote
QED Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 The range of your ask is pretty wide so I don't think you'll find anything that is accurate, precise, and inexpensive. 1 1 Quote

Super User WRB Posted May 26, 2022 Super User Posted May 26, 2022 Salter precision digital scale 1 gram to 5000 grams or weighs in 1/8 oz to 11 lbs. To get closer accuracy measure 10 items and divid by 10 etc. Tom 1 Quote

Super User WRB Posted May 26, 2022 Super User Posted May 26, 2022 West Lake Tactical 2000 gram, .01 gram accuracy looks good, but 4” x 4” weighing surface maybe too small. It does have trays to zero. Tom 1 Quote
schplurg Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Buy a 10$ one on Amazon. Some go to 100th of a gram. Is it accurate at that weight, pffft who knows, but they are when you put a 50 gram weight on it, at least mine was, right on the nose. TV commercial: "Drug dealers rely on our scales, you can too!

Super User MN Fisher Posted May 26, 2022 Super User Posted May 26, 2022 This is the one I have - .5gm-3000gm (smidge over 1/64 (1.12/64) to 105.26oz) I used a few of the calibrated weights from a balance scale a friend has - 1gm, 5gm, 20gm and 50gm all came up right on the money. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L92PSMP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 2 Quote
NavyToad Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 1/64 to almost 2lbs is asking alot. 1/64 = .433 grams. Measuring instruments are usually at their most accurate in the middle portion of their range. You might be better off trying to find 2 scales - one for very light weights, and one for the heavier stuff. Alot depends on how OCD you want to get and how much money you want to spend. 4 1 Quote

Or you might blow yourself up at the shooting range. Not important for fishing but very important for certain "anything else" categories. 1 Quote
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted May 27, 2022 Super User Posted May 27, 2022 you need two scales. a gunpowder reloading scale and a kitchen scale. you'll need a cheap calculator as well to convert grains to oz 2 Quote

My boss has a Uline scale at work that will do what you ask. But I believe it costs just this side of $700. I've got three scales at home for various hobbies to span the range from .001 grams up to 300 lbs. I probably spent less than $30 on each. As long as what you're measuring isn't on the extreme ends of the scale's capacity, even cheap scales tend to do a pretty decent job. 1 Quote
