Looking for a decent scale in the uk.

submitted almost 5 years ago by SartzyyFrugivore

So my shitty pocket scale Is becoming less and less accurate everyday, normally it’s not a huge difference but when mixing things like 007 Cola it really is.

I want to buy this AWS American Weigh Scales Digital Kitchen Scale, Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005UGBG20/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kZTKFbAFR1SSV but it’s fifty freaking quid.. ($65) almost double the price of the us version. I checked to see if I ordered from the us and I’d save $5ish but it’d take a few weeks to come so what’s the point?

So.. any Uk mixers know of a good scale that’s reasonably priced? Or if it’s really worth me just biting the bullet and buying the aws one.

EDIT: for anyone wondering I ordered this https://www.chefsflavours.co.uk/collections/syringes-beakers-spout-caps-etc/products/my-weigh-triton-t3-400g-x-0-01g-digital-scale

Hey chefs have one, by the same company at £10 cheaper, do you know if it’s as good? Looks like the only difference is it’s 400g capacity instead of 500g, but 400g is more than enough for me.

I wouldn't change my 0.001g scale for any 0.01g. And it was under 5 pounds (shipping incl; from China ofc during Black Friday promotion).

I have an Amazon cheappy made by AMIR. It's been great for my needs reloading, measuring fertilizer, and occasionally a sugar for a booger.

was just going to suggest the same one, Bought it from Amazon looks like its been made in the same factory as the bigger branded ones, been using for 3 months and works great, did not need to calibrate

I went to calibrate mine and it was dead nuts on already with multiple calibration weights. Most of my reloading buddies that were on the fence of making the move away from powder scoops finally switched for the convenience of it with the price.
