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

Bob : Accurate

Very accurate .Easy to use

penname : For tension strength.

Needed a scale that I could know after weight applied and this does that. Using to test tension strength.

Desertlover : Needed for a One Time Job

I needed a pull scale for setting up the steering box in my wife’s 1956 Corvette. This is a once and done job, so I wasn’t worried about longevity, repeatability or most of the other characteristics of a much more expensive scale. I checked with one pound weights and it was quite accurate, certainly within the tolerances I needed.

Walter B. : Preload

Use it for checking the preload on my wheel bearing.

Steel Monkey : ... for me use it to set reel drag much better than guessing

works for me use it to set reel drag much better than guessing

H : 目盛り部分は紙のシール

ハカリ本体はしっかりしています
しかし重要な目盛り部分には防水性のない薄い紙のシールが貼られています
ラパラ＝釣り＝水　ですからこれはどうなのかなと・・
本体壊れる前に使えなくなりそう

Received quickly and as described.

Great as expected thanks

Aaron M. : Sliding marker is too loose, no way to know what the weight is.

A product should work out of the box...in my opinion. The little slider falls down when the scale is held vertically rendering the scale useless...and there is no way to tighten up the tension on that marker without mgivering something out of tape. See my attached video... When I weigh something it just falls down. There is not enough tension between the tube and the slider marker to keep the slider in place. I tried putting some tape between the tube and the marker to create friction so the marker would stay in place better...I had to put 4 layers of tape down to get it to work temporarily...problem with the tape solution is eventually it will wear down the tape, or when water gets to the tape, and the tape will deteriorate making the scale useless.

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.

Mike Carpenter : Great quality product

Great quality product. The handle is very comfortable in your hand when applying pressure. I use this to measure starting torque on taper bearings. It works very well.

danacaron : Product as described

Great product

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.

Amazon Customer : As advertised

As advertised, I went with the manual scale due to multiple BP and Rapalla failing to operate or even turn on.

H : 目盛り部分は紙のシール

Jk : I have a set of calibrated weights that I use ...

I have a set of calibrated weights that I use at work to calibrate very similar tube scales so I used them on this. It passed with flying colors. Mine was accurate out of the box, and I appreciate that quite a bit.
