Questions about Rapala Tube Scale 25lb

anyone using this to set drag? tried on my saragossa 10k (max33lb). Almost maxed out i got only 12lbs. Scale is accurate, tested with weights.

Answer: I use it to set drag. I tested it with a certified 25lb weight. It was off less than 1lb

Why it be sayin 25 lbs when da scale be sayin 15 lbs? How does I know how much weight it has?

Answer: It says 25 pounds on the left side and on the right side reads 11 kg

The item title says 25lb, but the image displays a 15lb scale. Is this a 25lb or 15lb scale?

Answer: It’s a 25 lb scale

Answer: Mine is 25 lb.

does it have an adjustment to get it back to zero?

Answer: In use, the two black tabs move together. When weight is taken off the hook, the top tab returns 'home' (to zero). After noting the weight marked, move the bottom tab back 'home'.

Answer: It has no spring adjustment.....you can move the indicator if you start with a load and get the delta that way

Answer: No it does not have a zero adjustment.

how long is the tube part of the scale please?

Answer: tube is just short of 8" (i.e. 7-7/8), hook is 2

Answer: just about 8"

Answer: About 10 inches

Answer: At least 12", I believe.

Can this scale be calibrated?

Answer: I suppose you could correlate dead weight to readings

Does it have a marker or some way to see what the max was? I want to use as a drag scale for fishing reels.

Answer: Yes. There's a sliding plastic tab that marks yhe maximum extension, indicating the max weight.

Answer: Yes it does

is the spring in the tube aluminum as well? or just the tube?

Answer: No it's not aluminum.

Answer: Spring is not aluminum, it's a steel coil spring.

Answer: No, I believe it is stainless steel.

Answer: could nott tell....but it has not rusted

Product reviews of Rapala Tube Scale 25lb

aaa : よい

ありがとうございました。
何卒、宜しくお願い致します。

Briana C. : Nice

Accurate and easy to use. Works great, especially for the money.

David G. Smith : Worked great for my needs.

Honestly, this was purchased for setting my hub bearing preload and not for fish. Has a max reading and is a good size so it is easy to handle. May be bigger than you may want.

Major Nelson : Was impressed with the accuracy/feel. But the sticker for the weight scale is unacceptable

I was really disappointed to find out that the scale for the tool was a sticker, not etched like other scales. Get it wet or damaged the sticker and it will be useless.

Roy Merritt : Exactly what i expected

Although i do not use this for fishing, it is exactly what i wanted and of decent quality.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Great as expected thanks

Kyle Phelan : My favorite knuckle rebuild tool

Everything seemed spot on! Simple to use and was pleased with the pricing!

Christine : Happy with purchase would purchase again

I have gone through for digital scales and eventually all of them succumb to the elements. Tested this one against 3 pound 5 pound and 10 pound weights I have at the house and appears to be accurate.

Richard : Excellent!

Rapala. What else do you need to say? Excellent!

Perfect for setting the drag on a fishing reel, up to 25 pounds of drag

This scale gets the job done if your just looking for a estimate weight quickly. Good handle and easy to read marks.

Ian Crawford : Great product, Easy To Use In Any Application!

Used to test wheel bearing and knuck pre-load on 60-Series Land Cruiser steering knuckle rebuild project.

Used to set bearing preload on 1999 land cruiser. Works great has max indicator. Just what I needed

Michael I. Simon : Killer little scale

I’ve had this tool now for almost one year. Got it calibrated and use it on aircraft/rotorcraft every now and then for different inspections. The price on this tool could be a lot more for what it is I think, but glad it’s where it is at its price point.
