Q:

How do you hook the fish?

Answer:

Answer: The best way to make this scale useful for weighing fish is to grind the hook on the scale. I like to release my fish immediately after I catch them. I like to measure and weigh the larger ones. If you grind the mounting hook at an angle on the tip it will hold the fish by the mouth much easier. I never weigh fish by their gills because the gill covers were not designed to hold the weight and will tear on larger fish. I live in South Florida. I catch mostly freshwater species like largemouth bass and all of our exotics (Mayan cichlids,peacock bass,etc) this is a good scale for that purpose if you modify the S hook.

Answer: The least amount of handling of a fish you are releasing is best for the fish, of course. If the net you are using doesn't have a very long handle, or if using a lip gripper, weigh that first or use the tare function to zero out its weight, then weigh the fish with the net or attached to the lip gripper.

Answer: Set the hook

Answer: I like to use this one in combination with a plastic lip gripper so that I don't put any holes through the bigger ones' lips.

Answer: You can also use a large bag (IKEA bag) so you don't have to put it in their gills

Answer: Spit on your cricket first!

Answer: Use good/great bait and dangle it in many places until you find 'em.

Answer: patience

Answer: Carefully

Q:

How precise is this scale in the range under 2lb/1kg ?

Answer: I tested it using canned food products with labeled weights - it would randomly vary 1 to 3 oz. more or less than the indicated weight. There didn't seem to be any consistency that I could rely on; i.e., if the product weighed 16 oz., it would weigh more one time and less the next time I weighed it.

Answer: Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I don't have a calibrated scale to test the accuracy of this one. I put a few small items on the scale hook to see if it would register and it seem to be very accurate.

Answer: Absurd question. Why would i carry another scale to check this one? The product is garbage anyway so who knows.

Answer: Seems accurate. For pounds it measures in tenths. So it will say 1.2 pounds or .4 pounds. Not ounces.

Q:

how do i weigh a large heavy bag

Answer: just lift the bag with the scale. I did notice that one reviewer mentioned the handle on the scale was too small but I haven't had that problem. The only problem I could foresee is if the hook was too small for the handle of the bag you're trying to weigh in which case I would use a short strap around the handle.

Answer: If you're just weighing the bag, then turn on the scale, wait until it zeros out, then weigh the bag.

Answer: How old is the BAG. She may not want you weighing her.

Answer: I don't quite understand the question. You turn the scale on, wait for it to zero out, and put the bag on the hook to weigh it. That's an there is to it! Easy and convenient.

Answer: The scales have a hook on one end and handle on the other. Hook the bag and lift it by the handle on the scales and it will give you the weight.

Q:

Does this automatically shut off after a certain amount of time?

Answer: Yes

Q:

How accurate is this unit? My Etekcity show 2-3 lbs lighter. I have both

Answer: How accurate is the Etekcity? Locate an item in your household with a known GROSS weight, not NET weight. Use each scale to weigh the item. A gallon of water weighs 8.345 pounds NOT INCLUDING THE CONTAINER. Possibly Check each scale against the scales at the grocery. My scale matches the scales used by several airlines.

Q:

Has anybody figured out a way to turn off the "lock" function? It drives me nuts locking automatically before I am ready to take a reading.

Answer: Try pushing Tare, lock should go off

Q:

from the picture, the hook looks fragile, can it hook and lift a very heavy bag. and whats the durability warranty of the hook that carries the bag

Answer: The hook is substantial. If anything will fail with a heavy load it would probably be the strap holding the hook onto the scale. I placed the hook in a vise and it held it's shape under decent pressure. I only lifted about 30 pounds with it. If I every get around to carrying a load of bricks I'll get back to you.

Answer: it says on the device itself that it will hold up to 110lbs. the hook to me doesn't seem flimsy, it doesn't bend or give to my squeezing or pulling on it, I will add some pics of the hook to the customer images

Answer: I don't feel that this hook can bend, unless you exceed 110 pounds it might bend.

Q:

Have an issue with my scale, when i turned it on it was saying unit. then i selected lbs and it worked. but now it makes me do it every time. tips?

Answer: You must select the unit of measurement each time the scale is activated.

Q:

Is the scale waterproof

Answer: It is not waterproof.

Answer: I have the box and paperwork, doesn't say anything about being waterproof. Says wipe with damp cloth to clean. Mine works great, but I've never gotten it wet.

Answer: I wouldn't say yes. Its water resistant. Dont submerge it. I don't let mine stay wet.

Answer: No

Answer: no

Q:

Does it effected by water when weighing fish?

Answer: Yes, kindly be advise our fishing scale is not waterproof. Please be careful when use it. Thanks!

Answer: Sorry, I do not use it for fishing.

Q:

Can it be switched to lbs instead of kilos

Answer: Yes. Hold the tear bottom in for a min. It will switch. If not just play with it

Answer: Yes you can switch back and forth from pounds to kilos.

Answer: Yes, it can switch between units.

Answer: Yes

Answer: Yes it can

Q:

Would you be able to hang the scale up to weigh something or do you have to hold it?

Answer: It is not recommended to hang up the scale. Our handle is made of metal, which is relatively smooth. It is difficult to find the center point to hang up and weigh. Thanks for your question.

Answer: you could hang the scale but the handle moves a lot so it would be difficult. also the hook to hold the fish isn’t very big so the fish can easily come off its on the bigger side

Answer: I hung mine on a door and got mixed results, but got better results by holding it in my hand you may find yourself weighing an item a few times to get a consistent wieght

Answer: It has a metal retractable handle on top (see pic) you can hang on something if need be.

Answer: The handle on top can be put on some type of hook, but it will possibly slide to one corner or the other.

Answer: Yes

Q:

Does it have a peak hold option?

Answer: I use it to weigh the propane bottles on my motor home. I think it does have a peak hold option but I have never used it. It works great for what I need and the price is right, for me.

Answer: No, it doen't work - When press "Tare" for 3 sec. the L-ON and L-OFF function display but never worked. I returned it.

Answer: It's in the description of product.

Q:

Where is it made??? If China... stick it

Answer: This is made in China.

Answer: I can find anywhere on the item where it was manufactured.

Answer: Not marked, but I'd say likely. I feel ya. But whaddaya gonna do?

Answer: Same to you

Q:

Does this have a peak hold? If so, is it instantaneous, or does the weight have to stabilize first? Thank you.

Answer: I have not seen a hold feature on this scale.

Answer: Weight has to stabilze then once stable will take 1 second and will lock the weight measurement on screen for alil over minute before it turns off automatically

Q:

Does anyone know if esky es-ps01 scale can be calibrated? (i.e. weigh something of known weight (like a dumbell) and adjust for accuracy?

Q:

Can this be Manually calibrated?

Answer: You can zero it, like if you want to weight something in a container you put the container on the hook and hit button to zero weight of container other than that it automatically weights then locks the weight on display.

Answer: No, There is no adjustment to do that .

Answer: I don't believe it can.

Q:

is it water proof?

Answer: No, it is not water proof.

Answer: I haven't dropped it in the water yet, but I'd say no. There aren't anything special about it that would make it waterproof.

Answer: I don’t believe it is waterproof! Unfortunately, there is no warning whether it is waterproof or not in the instructions!

Answer: Looking at mine, I would say NO... but it is a dandy scale.

Answer: The description does not say it is waterproof. So most likely it is not waterproof.

Q:

Do you have reading retention weight? keeps the maximum weight and does not get to zero? .. thanks ,, regards

Answer: Yes. Load the device with a weight, and as soon as the reading stabilizes, the readout locks and so is retained. Exactly the way it should work!

Answer: It holds the last stable reading, not necessarily the maximum weight. If your weight varies over time you'll get the final stable weight, not the peak.

Answer: Yes, it allows you to easily read the weight on the cadran. Click on TARE to reset the scale.

Answer: Yes, it does. Keep in mind though, the hook is too small for 3 lbs bass or bigger.

Q:

Any actually use this for fishing? Good for fishing?

Answer: The weight limit is 110 lbs, so it does fine for lake fishing or even deep sea (obviously depending on what you catch). The hook is a good size as it is not too big or too small for the fish's mouth, but challenges do exist.

Answer: I used it for fishing. It's very accurate and easy to use. Ive used it for several things. Checking trigger pull weight on some of my guns and the pull weight of a door lock mech on a car. Its not waterproof though so dont drop it in the lake..

Answer: 2 things in regards to fishing with this.

Answer: You don't really want to hook The fosh directly onto the scale anyways, unless you're planning to keep it. Better to place the fish inside of something (bag, sling etc) to protect them as you're weighing. No need to punch a hole through their mouth for no reason.

Answer: I really dunno never tried it for fishing but you can try

Q:

How do i calibrate this scale?

Answer: It is self calibrating. Switch from pounds to kilograms by pressing UNIT. When unit is activated, and held stationary without weight on the hook, weight should be 0.00. If the scale indicates weight without any weight on the hook, press TARE and it should indicate 0.00.

Q:

Does it show pounds and ounces?

Answer: both

Q:

Does this weigh grams?

Answer: Yes, g/kg/lb./oz

Q:

Can you weigh the trigger pull of a firearm

Answer: I don't see why not. It weighs pretty accurately

Answer: Here is the detail for your reference. The Weight range / Graduation: 110lb/50kg; 0~10kg: d=5g, 10-50kg: d=10g

Q:

Where can I get the user manual?

Answer: Sorry that we don't upload user manual to listing on Amazon, it will do that. If you need urgently, would you pls email support@dr.meter.com? We will send you user manual ASAP.

Answer: Try the website which is: http://www.drmeter.com/support/guides

Q:

Is this igfa certified?

Answer: First, this is mass produced. I have not found a scale over the counter with state certification. If you want you will need to buy a totally different scale and have state agencies come and certify that scale at your own expense. I put on fishing tournaments and before I start I explain that my scales are not certified. In national contests that is different. DNR of each state have scales that you can see what they do for certification. Remember, this is an inexpensive scale, it can vary. But it has been very close on my contests.

Answer: Sorry, this is not igfa certified. But we have an FCC, CE, ROH certificate. Thanks!

Q:

Can this weigh in mililiters?

Answer: No, it measures Kg, lbs and ounces. If weighing a liquid 1kg = 1000ml.

Answer: No. This measures weight not volume

Answer: I really don't know and it is in my boat in Florida.

Answer: No. Milliliters is a volume measure.

Answer: No, it can not.

Q:

How can we disable data lock? I'm filling containers hanging on it by weight, and it keeps locking.

Answer: Please press the zero button. Thanks!

Q:

Can this be used for measurement of the draw weignt of a compound bow?

Answer: Because a compound bow has a weight curve that decreases significantly after the cams rotate, this scale may not be a good choice. However, if the scale is set to use the hold feature, it could register the maximum pull up to the limit of the scale. Caution should be used if you decide to do this to avoid damage to the bow or injury to the archer should the string slip. I do not recommend it. Take the bow to an archery shop with a proper scale to measure bows.

Q:

Does this scale come with a certificate of calibration?

Answer: Sorry to this scale does not come with a certificate of calibration. Thanks!

Answer: No, but it is very accurate. Very happy with this scale.

Q:

Does this scale have a recording feature so i can track my catch in tournaments?

Answer: No it does not have a recording feature

Q:

How big is the hook? Can it be replaced?

Answer: The hook is big enough for fresh water fish, any species. Yes the hook can be replaced

Answer: Too small for 4lbs bass and bigger. It's easier to just but a scale with the bigger hook. But the scale itself is a great scale. The tape measure didnt work in mine either,

Answer: Don't waste your time in this scale

Q:

How long is the tape measurer?

Answer: good

Answer: 3'

Q:

Does this hold the last weight measured?

Answer: Yes and no, you can lock the weight at the time of measurement. It will stay until you turn it off. After that it resets when turned on.

Answer: It'll lock the weight in as you weigh it but will not store previous weights on it.

Answer: Absolutely.

Answer: Yes, very good

Answer: Oh yes

Q:

Has anyone used this for peak poundage for an archery bow? Does it hold that peak poundage as you pull through on a compound bow?

Answer: Our fishing scales do not have the peak poundage, but have the ability to lock in poundage. When the sensor captures the weight of the product, it automatically locks the poundage; and if the customer presses the “memory” button, the value is stored and the customer is looking through the memory. When the value is displayed, if the value viewed at this time is the largest value, the value will flash three times to remind the customer.

Answer: I haven't done it, but I suppose you can? You would need to fasten the bow to a stationary object. This scale locks after 2 or 3 seconds, but you can look at the scale while you pulling the string back (because you would only need one hand since the bow would be fastened to something). I hope this helps.

Answer: Yes it works perfectly. I had one but I let it get ruined by leaving the batteries in too long so I am going to order another.

Q:

How do you disable the "lock" feature? I tried pushing tare but that just resets it to zero.

Answer: You just turn it off and it resets. Take a picture of the weight with your iphone before you reset it for your records.

Answer: Dont push tare....

Answer: Who cares...

Q:

Does this show weight in pounds and ounces? Meaning 10.5 pounds would show as 10 pounds 8 ounces?

Answer: Pounds and ounces to the hundredths like this: 00.00 You want ounces, you'll need a calculator. Multiply the hundredths of a pound by 16 like this: .18 x 16 = 2.88 - just under 3 oz.

Answer: I just checked my scale and it reads in pounds, ounces and kilograms. I interpret that as 1.25 lbs equals one and a quarter pounds or 20 ozs. If you change the scale to ounces it would read 20, etc.

Answer: Yes it does, lbs & ozs.

Answer: Yes it does very accurate for the price

Q:

Does the weight stay on the display for a few minutes after you have completed weighting an object?

Answer: mine stays on less than a minute

Q:

Anyone use this to check draw weight on a bow?

Answer: i havent, but you should be able to...it goes up to 100 lbs

Q:

Has anyone used it for big cats? 50-100lb?

Answer: I have used the scale to weigh bags of salt up to 45 lbs. No problem. Works fine. Probably easier if you hang the scale from a fixed hook or similar, so that you can have both hands free to control the load. You can switch units (lbs., kgs) while the load is suspended.

Answer: I made a sling that attaches to it for weighing my goats and it works just fine.

Q:

Does it come with a little bag/case to carry it in?

Answer: No so I store/carry it in the original box.

Answer: Yes, it does.

Q:

Why can’t I return this item - it arrived faulty; have tried with several batteries, none work, problem with unit.

Answer: im not sure...you should be able to get a hold of amazon and ask them

Q:

Will the tape get rusted?

Answer: Yes. Just clean it with fresh water, not salt water. Give it a good wipe down and you should be okay.

Answer: likely esp in salt water areas---but mine has not yet

Answer: Not really sure. I've had it on my boat for a year out in the elements and it still looks new and everything works great

Answer: Yes

Q:

I just turned on the scale and it is displaying 8888, what am i doing wrong?

Answer: Ensure batteries are loaded correctly. If correctly inserted, turn unit back on and press unit to determine if it will cycle between pounds or kilograms. Ensure the scale is not in a temperature extreme environment such as below freezing. Find the instruction sheet to determine if this situation is described there. If everything listed here fails to remedy the situation, return for a refund.

Answer: hold the on/off button for a few seconds, the scale has to reset itself

Q:

What is the smallest decimal it can read?

Answer: I apologize I am not sure I bought as a gift for my son who lives in a different state.

Q:

This would be intended as a gift. What kind of packaging is it in? is it labeled as a fish scale?

Answer: Yes, there is a color box in it and it is labeled a fish scale.

Q:

Will this product be available again anytime soon?

Q:

Has anyone used this for measuring grain

Answer: It will provide accurate weight for any item up to the operating limit for the device. The item being weighed is irrelevant.

Q:

What is the max before it will break?

Answer: If you read the description you will see that the max is 110 pounds.

Answer: 110 lbs

Answer: Read the product description at the top of the page!

Q:

Does this have a peak weight function

Answer: It doesn't have a peak weight "function". It does have a TARE function and the max. weight is 110lb/50kg.

Answer: It may. But, unfortunately I've not caught a fish big enough to test it. In saying that, this is the best scale I've ever owned.

Amazon Customer : Great, until it just stopped

I got this item to help test the weight on a bow I was making, it worked great for a while and I made two perfectly fine. They did not go over the weight limit and it was in the shed this whole time. It us a year later almost and I break it out to make another bow for a friend, it displayed fine the first pull, but the second one it showed some odd code or something (it was upside down). I thought maybe dead batteries, so I swapped them out, gave a little hand tug. It read 30 something kg, locked up and would not unlock. I reset it, and now it only reads all 0's. Not sure if I did sonething wrong or it broke? It looks just about new still, but I guess I will have to try getting another. It's a shame I only got a few uses out of it.

C. Pilot : Nice fishing scale

I haven't been using it for very long, so my durability rating may not be accurate, but at this point I can definitely give this item 5 stars. I've used it on four different fish so far, and it was quick and easy to grab it, turn it on, and weigh the fish. I have a very accurate postal scale at home that tested the accuracy of this scale and after it got to 15lbs, it was off by 0.01 oz. I think that's more than acceptable. Don't know how long it will last, but I'm happy with it so far.

George E. : OK for the price but limited

For the price it is an OK scale. However it is best used hung from a hook and item placed on it, and not moving. Trying to lift a weigh with it and holding it high enough to read the numbers on a dial that is hard to read unless you are looking straight on it is not easy. In addition if there is a slight movement the numbers will not lock and just bounce up and down. Its hard to hold it steady with a suitcase hanging from it. You just have to be able to read the bouncing number. I find it hard to imagine how it can be used to weigh a flapping fish from a side of a boat , too much movement. It seems fairly accurate with light weights up to 10 lbs , I could not test it with heavier weight as there was too much movement holding it in my hand. Email to manufacturer just confirmed that "yes the weight needs to be steady". Perhaps a round not digital scale with a mechanical reset-able marker may work better for these applications. The hook link to scale looks flimsy no way can this weigh 110 lbs. Chose your applications carefully, and it helps if one person holds it while another reads the weight.

Amazon Customer : Stopped working.

Well it worked great for the amount of time it worked! Only used it on maybe a half dozen fish, all but one under 3 pounds, and then when my brother hauled in a big bass, it said low battery. Figured it was because it was turned on too long or something unfortunate, but afterwards I tested the batteries and they were fine. Tested some new batteries, full charge, still said “Lo” on the screen and wouldn’t work. Screen also stayed blue and wouldn’t shut off. (Enough battery to stay on but not function?) So now I have a plastic brick in my tackle box. Seems like most people have good luck with it, but me, not so much. Not saying it’ll happen if you buy it but it’s a possibility.

dgh : Had to mod it~

Works well~

My only qualm is the hook was too small for my needs (weighing fish), so I replaced it with a larger hook off an old stringer.

With this mode it's perfect for me~

See attached photo

UPDATE : Company reached out to me and issued a partial refund. I told them the hook being too small wasn't that big of a deal, but they issued it anyway. Customer Service is very good, I feel if I received a broken unit they would replace it ASAP.

For this price and with this sort of customer service, you really have nothing to loose. I've use it a few times a week weighing the fish I catch. I use it while bank fishing and boat fishing and has been tossed to a buddy more times then I'd like to admit. Works fine and has never given me any issues other then the small hook, what can I say, I catch big fish ! Hahaha~

Tella D. : Broke down; replaced by manufacturer

I purchased this product on March 20th. On April 22nd, after a month of moderate use weighing items of 2-15 lb, it went dead, and did not revive with fresh batteries. My order summary says that "the window for returns has closed." I was a bit surprised that there appears to be no mechanism for returning a defective product.

About a week after posting my original review, the manufacturer emailed me and offered to replace the balance. Another week later, the replacement arrived, in perfect working order. I haven’t tested it extensively because I had replaced it with a different model in the meantime.

One of the stars was lost for the break-down; the other, for the slow replacement, which is, at least partially, the responsibility of Amazon.

Pacolypse : Decent scale...NO REDUNDS!!!!

I liked the scale. It is simple to use, has different weight and light settings. Only thing I could not figure out was how to set it so it retains the max weight reading for a particular fish. I wanted to use the scale for setting my drags on my reels, but it does not seem to tell me what the max reading was. That information is critical to setting drags properly to fight fish. Set it too tight and you will lose your fish. Set it too loose and you will increase your chances of losing the fish from fighting it too long.

Matt : Great customer service, though not waterproof

Update - Bumping my rating up to 4 stars do to stellar customer service. The seller saw my review below and offered to replace the scale. I said yes and they sent a new scale right away, fantastic service! It really is a nice scale so I'm looking forward to a lot of use. :)

------

For the price I really shouldn't expect more, but it is not waterproof. It worked just great until my son left it in the bottom of the boat and it got wet (fresh water). That rendered it dead and it has not powered on since. But until that moment it worked great and was easy to use.

Amazon Customer : The scale works nice. I just did some calibration checks and the ...

The scale works nice. I just did some calibration checks and the measurements look quite good. The lock function is quite usefull (mainly because I bought the scale to check the poundage of my bow) and it locks the measurement after 2s (but the scale needs to be steady). And, I thought the material of the scale strong. Just for completeness I attached 2 graphs showing its performance... in overall, it seems to have about 4% of discrepancy with the real weight.

EC THUSTON : Really nice

This is really nice and even includes a built in tape measure.

Ed : It is not water proof.

Update 09/16/18.
Leveled up to 4 stars. The company stepped in and sent a replacement scale. What a wonderful customer service! Still, please be aware it is not water proof if you are planning to use it as fishing scale. If they put this in the description, it would save them and all buyers a lot of headache.

Original review.
It is advertised as fishing scale. On the second fishing trip it got splash of water on it during fish measuring. Scale died immediately. This item is not water tight and cannot be used for fishing! False advertisement! Amazon should take an action against this seller I think. Buyers be aware!

Neal L. : Great Scale!

I like this little scale! I use it to weigh camping gear that I use for the Appalachian trail. I used it for a while then gave it to my friend that keeps a lot of our gear at his house, he loves it too! It is just a simple scale that lets you put a sack on it, hit the tare weight to clear it out, then add whatever you need to and see the weight.

DixieReb31 : Just quit working.

Purchased this in March of 2018. It worked fine for a while. Tried to use it this weekend. I thought the batteries had died. Nope. Put brand new ones in and still will not turn on. Didn’t even get 6 months of use out of it. Trashed it. Buyer beware.

Update: 11/15/18
Upon seeing my negative review the manufacturer made contact with me. They issued an apology and requested that they send me another scale. They were determined to stand behind their product. I had a new scale at no cost to me within a week. They have also issued a refund of $5.99. This is old school customer service. The kind I remember when most companies stood strongly behind their product. I am impressed with their commitment not just their product but also their customers. I’m not going to remove the initial review because I want others to see where I was with Qualla and how they came through. Greatly appreciated.

Ed Campbell : Works well, I cut off the tiny S-hook and added a hook to hold a 100lb fish

Seems to work well but when I tried to weigh a 60 catfish the hook on it is so small I had to punch a hole in the side of the fishes mouth.
My advice to the designers, if you're going to make this to us fishermen please get rid of that tiny hook on this and add something at least the size of your hand so we can use this without breaking an arm when your tiny hook keeps popping out of the fishes mouth

Daniel turnbow : Great scale cheep price

Accurate Comes with battery’s will Be buying a second one for my second tackle box

Brian J. Minton : I use it for weighing watermelons on the vine.

We got it to weigh watermelons. We haven't calibrated it, so we don't know the accuracy, but it works fine for getting a good estimate. However whenever you drop the unit, the batteries fall out. This is frustrating for when you want to weigh a bunch of things.

Edit: After I posted my review, the seller sent me a replacement unit. The battery door seems much more secure.

L. McNamara : Used once for a trip, no issues. Took ...

Used once for a trip, no issues. Took the batteries out and put it away, and when I set it up again, it was dead. Not impressed.

update: company sent a surprise replacement. that was nice of them. unfortunately, this one didn't work at all. I tried it with the provided batteries, and I tried it with brand new lithiums, and it didn't even turn on.

HR : Stopped working after few months. Worst product ever.

After 3 Months it stopped working.
I have tried putting new batteries but the display is not turning on.
I bought it based on the reviews but very disappointed with the quality of the product.
Not sure how to contact them even to provide needful feedback so that they can improve their quality.
But overall worst product ever seen.

Dwight M Corle : Cool scale!!

Please read through this to the end!! Got this scale thought it'd be just what I needed on my boat. Got put it on the boat and it was a month before I went fishing, caught a nice fish and got the scale out of the cabinet and it wouldn't turn on. I thought maybe it came with cheap batteries so I changed them, still nothing!!!! Changed them again just to be sure and still nothing!!!! So after I'd never used it , it wouldn't turn on. I went back and checked to see if I could return , nope "return window closed"!!!! Left this review and they contacted me and said they definitely wanted to make it right!! They offered to send me a new scale and it works great!!!! Love the scale and the company!!!

dgh : Had to mod it~

Works well~

My only qualm is the hook was too small for my needs (weighing fish), so I replaced it with a larger hook off an old stringer.

With this mode it's perfect for me~

See attached photo

UPDATE : Company reached out to me and issued a partial refund. I told them the hook being too small wasn't that big of a deal, but they issued it anyway. Customer Service is very good, I feel if I received a broken unit they would replace it ASAP.

For this price and with this sort of customer service, you really have nothing to loose. I've use it a few times a week weighing the fish I catch. I use it while bank fishing and boat fishing and has been tossed to a buddy more times then I'd like to admit. Works fine and has never given me any issues other then the small hook, what can I say, I catch big fish ! Hahaha~

Tommy D : Fairly accurate and versitile

This scale is easy to use and versatile. We use it in our barn to weigh rabbits. We just hang it by the handle. Then we attach a bucket or basket from the hook. Hit the "tare" button to zero the scale, and place the animal in the basket. Works great! We've also used it to weigh chickens. We haven't tested it against a calibrated scale, but when we took our rabbits to show, it seemed that this scale might have been weighing a little less than an ounce more than the scale at the show. Note: this scale does weigh in .00 (hundredths) of a pound. It does not measure in ounces.

Amazon Customer : Great, until it just stopped

I got this item to help test the weight on a bow I was making, it worked great for a while and I made two perfectly fine. They did not go over the weight limit and it was in the shed this whole time. It us a year later almost and I break it out to make another bow for a friend, it displayed fine the first pull, but the second one it showed some odd code or something (it was upside down). I thought maybe dead batteries, so I swapped them out, gave a little hand tug. It read 30 something kg, locked up and would not unlock. I reset it, and now it only reads all 0's. Not sure if I did sonething wrong or it broke? It looks just about new still, but I guess I will have to try getting another. It's a shame I only got a few uses out of it.

Amazon Customer : The scale works nice. I just did some calibration checks and the ...

The scale works nice. I just did some calibration checks and the measurements look quite good. The lock function is quite usefull (mainly because I bought the scale to check the poundage of my bow) and it locks the measurement after 2s (but the scale needs to be steady). And, I thought the material of the scale strong. Just for completeness I attached 2 graphs showing its performance... in overall, it seems to have about 4% of discrepancy with the real weight.

Amazon Customer : Excellent for the price.

For ten dollars you can't go wrong. Complaints are the batteries it came with died in short order, the hook comes out of its holder very easily, it will turn on in your pocket, and the tape measure us difficult to deploy. So it isn't perfect. But keeping the cost in mind and its positives (very light and compact, very generous range of weights it will measure) I'm giving it four stars.
Just a suggestion to Dr Meter, a lot of fishermen buy these. It would be great to have a sealed, waterproof version of this that isn't dramatically larger.

Mister Paradise : Excellent hand-held, hanging scale

I don't know what "version" of the product I got, but mine is excellent. I'm not saying that it doesn't match the picture, it matches exactly. I'm saying I have none of the problems that others have reported. Maybe mine is a more recent model, but it functions perfectly and although it's made in China, the instructions are easy to read and follow.

One thing to keep in mind is that it must be vertical when you turn it on, and when you want to unlock a locked weight.

TWilhite : Works for me!

I tested this scale on some small dumbbells for accuracy. I have no intention of send this off to the bureau of weights and measures for an accuracy reading but the 5 lb weight showed a reading of 5 lbs. Good enough for me. The tape measure I didn't realize was included is ok. For the size of fish I catch, it should be just fine. If I land a really big one, I fear the tape might not retract completely. I like that I can later use it for luggage or other small items I need to weigh but this will primarily live in my tackle box.

David : Not water proof

This item was not water proof at all

Dennis Murphy : Worth the money so far, sharpen the hook.

Seems to weigh .2 lbs heavy, but a 5lb barbell went 5.2 lbs. but it's consistent at that.
Could be my other scale, easy to use, I like it a lot!
I did use a file to sharpen the hook so it worked better with fish mouths, I suggest that right off the bat.
Never weigh from gills unless your gonna keep the fish.

Jody Allen : Tape Measure problem = low stars

I really bought it for the tape measure aspect and the tape measure is very hard to get out of the case. I have tried numerous times and will now not bother and just throw a tape measure in my fishing box instead. The case it well made but I am not sure the designer really thought thru the use of such a small tape measure and how it is delivered. The hook weighing aspect is what I expected though so not all is lost on the product.

Christopher Nieman : Appears to be new old stock, but it works

It's useful, with a caveat.

This is my first fishing type scale. I got it partly to weigh baggage for airline flights. I don't need it to be accurate to the gram, but as long as it's close, it should be fine. I need to get used to this type of weight measure, as I think it requires a steady hold to get a good read. It's easy to get it wrong. I almost want to mount the scale on a hook so the measurements can be steadier.

Here's the caveat. Mine has a sticker on the back that appears to indicate a manufacture date of Aug 2004. If true, I would judge this to be 'new old stock.' I'm a little bit wary of a 'new' item made more than fifteen years ago, but at least it works.

Big Joe : Excellent For Weighing Propane Tanks

I've never found an accurate propane gauge, so decided to go another direction with this inexpensive scale. If you're interested, here's how. Weigh the tank. Subtract the tare (empty) weight which is stamped on the tank collar (TW). And then divide by 4.3. The result will be the number of gallons in the tank. (20 lb. tanks hold about 4.7 gallons and 30 lb. about 7 gallons). This method will also tell you if you're being cheated when you do the "tank swap" thing. (Hint - you probably are).

This little scale has a nice bright display, and will "lock" the reading if you hold what you're weighing very still for a couple of seconds. Very happy with the purchase and price.

Xgenei : Wow - what a deal - even saves me money at the grocery store.

Perfect for fishing of course, but if you want to weigh your one-price bag-o-cheese, you can easily save a buck every time you haul it out of your shoulder bag. That's what I bought it for. So for that sort of hunting, it is notably missing a clip that will hold a 5# slippery bag. One of those utility clamps from the dollar store might do it. The metal hook is plenty strong, and you can run it through of course, but ..

KevinOrKimber : Solid & Reliable on second try

**Update June 2020 - customer service did refund but was concerned about review/rating. I told them that I would not increase it just because of refund & that I didn’t need a replacement, but if they sent one, we would test it out. They did and I can honestly say that the replacement device worked well. It is very solid and would’ve received 5 stars up front had this been our first experience.

*Update May 2020 - customer service reached out and offered replacement or refund. They responded quickly & were very professional, so I’ve added a star.

Worked fine for smaller weights. Display was good. Fell apart when weighing something that was approximately 55lbs. It was after our return window, so couldn’t return it.

Pacolypse : Decent scale...NO REDUNDS!!!!

I liked the scale. It is simple to use, has different weight and light settings. Only thing I could not figure out was how to set it so it retains the max weight reading for a particular fish. I wanted to use the scale for setting my drags on my reels, but it does not seem to tell me what the max reading was. That information is critical to setting drags properly to fight fish. Set it too tight and you will lose your fish. Set it too loose and you will increase your chances of losing the fish from fighting it too long.

Elizabeth : Works Great for Weighing Horse Hay

I'm using this item to weigh my horse's hay. I can't speak to minute accuracy, but that's outside the scope of my use. This scale is an affordable and easy option for weighing horse hay each feeding. I load hay into a hay net and hook the net onto the included hook, and it locks on a weight very quickly. No complaints about this item for my use.

Amazon Customer : Don't get it wet.

Good scale if you don't accidentally drop it in water. Used it in a canoe to weigh fish. Fell in the bottom of the canoe where water was building up. Got submerged. Worked for a little bit after, but then completely died. Will be looking for something a little more water resistant at least.
Customer support for Dr Meter was outstanding though. Sent me a replacement and the new unit is great. Accurate and easy to read. I still stand by my advice to not let it get submerged though, as this device is not meant to be water resistant.

Neal L. : Great Scale!

I like this little scale! I use it to weigh camping gear that I use for the Appalachian trail.

Aiink : nice portable scale

I bought this scale to weigh my puppy as he grows. It was inexpensive so I hoped it would be accurate for that one thing. It is because I verified the puppy's weight on the vets office scale. Just hook on his body harness and in a moment you know weight without hurting him. I'm sure I will use it for other things as time goes on. Pleased with this purchase.

E.C.Jennison : Why is a Fish Scale/ Meter Not water resistant/proof?

Worked good at first. Nice size, Small and compact. Accurate reading it seems. The hook is not large enough to really hook a fish properly I would recommend coming with a gill hook or larger weighing hook to ensure the fishes safety and "losing the fish" while weighing. Also, for a fish scale, its not even close to water resistant. I got some water on it and it started glitching out on me. Does not work properly and am afraid it will completely crap the bed soon! the measuring tape is a bit tricky to open without a tool or something. If it was water proof/resistant I would be much more impressed.

Update....I am super impressed by the customer service that Thousandshores and Hisgadget provided when they reviewed my situation. I have since recieved a replacement scale which works great. I plan to keep this still away from any water though in the future. I have added 2 stars to rating for the quick response and customer care i recieved. Thanks again for the replacment.

The OHara family : Accurate

A+

Red Beard Ops : Great Buy! Great Value!

This thing is awesome. I needed an accurate way to measure all the plates in my gym since we don't have calibrated plates and I'm a power-lifting / weightlifting enthusiast. I'll post a picture of how I rigged it up. I found that my steel plates were fairly off. My 315 was really 321. Guess I should be happy it's higher. I'm happy to now have accurate weights.

The scale worked great, held up well to fairly heavy weights, was easy to tare, was easy to read, and seemed robust. I also noticed extremely good repeat accuracy.

This thing was a great buy!

thomas varghese : Not good

Not good

Annie Nguyen : Surprising accurate and easy to use

I tested the accuracy with some dumbbell weights and surprisingly, this scale is quite accurate! the back-lit lighting makes it easy to read during the day and nighttime. The only suggestion I would make is with the hook. Its good for most applications, but for for fishing, it should be larger or come with a clamp-grip adapter.

It is advertised as fishing scale. On the second fishing trip it got splash of water on it during fish measuring. Scale died immediately. This item is not water tight and cannot be used for fishing! False advertisement! Amazon should take an action against this seller I think. Buyers be aware!

Chicken Paw Chef : Not to good as a obesity monitor....

I bought this to monitor the weight loss efforts of my girlfriend. Her weight exceeded the readout capability of the scale. Rather than return it, I started using it as a backup to my triple beam scales. It weighs grams and kilos just fine and my foreign business associates learned to trust it. It also very easy to conceal in case the wrong people show up unannounced. It weighs fish too.
