food scales

[loser4life]

anyone have any input on a particular brand/type. I am wanting to get one sometime today, hopefully ... oh, and approx cost?

We bought ours from a science store. We wanted precision. We also use it to weigh pinewood derby cars for Cub Scouts. *l* Spendy, but worth it, depending on what you need it for.

It is a Gram Precision 500 http://www.lehmanscientific.com/gramprec.html

holy cow- i don't need that much accuracy I was thinking under 40-50 bucks

I found a couple

But I was hoping to go out and get one today... I guess I will just probably end up ordering one... anyone have any input on these two?

I like the Polder because it states what increments it measures minimally (1/8 of an ounce or 2 grams)... the other one doesn't state that. At least not under specifications.

I just bought a digital post office scale for $25. Works for me.

[loser4life]

[rybread]

I picked it up at Costco.
