WAOAW W-01-50 Digital Milligram Scale 50 X 0.001Gram Reloading Jewelry Scale Digital Weight with Calibration Weights Tweezers and Weighing Pans (Batteries Included)

Do a YouTube search for "BEST (Of The Cheap) Digital Scales!" by Elvis Ammo. (You can just Copy & Paste that exact title - minus the quotes - into the YouTube search box.) That video will explain why these low cost scales are good for weighing out gunpowder charges far better than I can here. Very briefly, the electronics in these read faster than some even far more expensive digital scales do, so they pick up small changes quickly when you are slowly trickling up to some exact powder charge weight to the nearest tenth of a grain. (Yes I said grain, not gram. :-) I will save long winded explanations because those truly interested can search out that exact title inside the quotes above. Watch the video and you will understand, as these compare very well to far better known brands. Nuf' said. The downside still works out fine due to excellent customer service: These scales are not at all expensive, and reading other customer comments shows that it is not impossible that you could end up with one that needs to be returned. For this low price I just went ahead and ordered TWO. One worked fine exactly as shown in the above video, and one needed returned - bad sensor or something that caused it's readings to constantly jump up and down and never really seem to be able to make up it's mind, so to speak. Not a problem - good customer service simply sent me another (I got my rms return number and sent the bad one back) and now I have two perfectly good and inexpensive digital scales to go packing along to the range. If one dies I have a back up on hand, perfect for my needs. If you are going to pack along a small portable reloading setup to the range with you, to patiently dial in those perfect most accurate load recipes possible for your particular firearms, then these digital scales are reasonably workable and cheap enough to buy several just to be sure you have a backup if one gets lost, broken, "permanently borrowed" by someone who sees how nicely they work, or whatever. Anyway, I like the two scales that I have just fine. Both compare very well to traditional balance beam scales for accuracy to the nearest tenth of a grain. Good to go for patiently dialing in that perfect most accurate load recipe possible while you are sitting right there at the shooting bench. (Some ranges are far better for doing this than others, so YMMV depending on where you shoot. Sitting in a vehicle to get out of the wind at an outside range is no big deal.) No, these little scales are not the best things since sliced bread, but yes for the price I'd say just buy several and you'll very soon be able to just get things done.

The directions were clearly written and understandable. It came with batteries, a 50g weight, removable tray and set of tweezers. I read the instructions, inserted the batteries and turned it on. The backlighting makes it easy to read the display in bright or dim light. Put it in Calibrate Mode and placed the 50g weight on it. Displayed 50.000 I placed several tablets of 550mg Metabisulfate on it one at a time and they all weighed within a few one-thousands mg of each other - MB tablets contains 550mg of MB held together by binder so their weight can fluctuate from one tab to another.I then placed the included tray on it, pushed the TARE button to 'zero it out', placed the MB tablets in the tray and compared their weight to that when weighed w/o the tray. They weighed exactly the same.I then Calibrated it again, just for yuck-yucks, repeated everything and came up with the same results.Likes: Instructions. Accuracy. Measures in .000 increments. legible display. Dust cover. Size and weight.Dislikes: None so far.

Cautiously optimistic, weighs out well, repetitively displays the same amount if weighing and checking weight. Only had mine for the day but it was bought to mix supplements for my Chameleon (nasty eye infection after his lunch of superworms had one with a little fight in it and scratched the underside of His eyelid) and it handled down to 10mg and even 5mg without incident or error and weighed all of them again when spot checked. It can waver +/- 1mg (0.001 G) and in those times I simply ere towards the low side, but for the price, I would say that's more than acceptable.On the other side of quality, I would REALLY prefer to have the exterior made of something that at least FELT durable. I don't really need it to be super tough as I have used it at the shelves where I keep my bearded dragon and have no need for it to come with me possibly getting; jostled around, bumped and fumbled about, I feel like dumping it off the shelf could cause real damage.Bottom line (TL;DR): It's a low price scale that seems pretty accurate and reliable. The display isn't bad, auto-off can get annoying, the packaging seemed secure, the actual pressure plate is a decent size (about 2" diameter circle with a lower center for the included bowl), utensils included are pretty cheap but useful (SUPER CHEAP TWEEZERS, bowl isn't horrible, kind of a rough surface), and my biggest complaint, very little and cheap feeling plastic exterior.

Been using it for 4 years now. Never one problem. Can't believe its still going with as much use as I put it through. I measure health supplements and also use it for reloading. Would order another one with no hesitation. Only downside for me is the font size of the screen. A bit tiny for my eyes. But with reading glasses problem solved.

Compact easy to use digital scale that is consistent in results and weighs accurately as you adjust the load. Used to verify powder weights for handloading. Would not suggest for large volumes but ok for small batches. Does the job for me, very happy with the purchase.
