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

Octous : Works great has max indicator

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

Marty A. : Great product!

Exceeded my expectations ! Great product!

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.

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.

Bob : Accurate

Very accurate .Easy to use

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Marty A. : Great product!

Exceeded my expectations ! Great product!

Katri : Easy to read, lightweight

I ordered these to use on a Florida State University sponsors dig in Italy for weighing tile and brick. The weight increments in both kilos and pounds was perfect for our use. The scales were lightweight and easy to use and read, and the students in the dig felt them to be superior to our old scales. I will keep them in mind if we need more for next year’s season.

Roy Owens : Cool idea.

It has a gizmo to register the largest force, so that if measuring the pulling force required to move something, such as a refrigerator door, then when the door opens, the spring pulls the hook back, but the gizmo then shows the maximal force exerted. Cool idea.

Michael I. Simon : Killer little scale

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.

kbmeadows : Five Stars

Received quickly and as described.

jev : Five Stars

Allan R. Glass : Excellent...

...and easy to use.

KJ : Five Stars

Perfect tool to set your drag correctly...

Briana C. : Nice

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

Steve L. : Not for fishing.

I used this as a torque wrench for my stainless steel brake line banjo bolts and engine valve adjustment. It’s pretty accurate, tested on a 15 lbs dumbbell. Yes I know I should use a proper torque wrench, but this works and way cheaper.

Sadistik9 : Husband said it was good

Got it as a gift for hubby. It was exactly what he wanted and prices were better than stores
