Mine came from Harbor Freight. I think they cal it a pocket scale. Works fine with the exception that you need to take the batteries out or they go dead. Not a big deal.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I went back on ebay and pulled the trigger on a SAGA for $25.00 including shipping. Big enough to place the whole plug on top of it. I was sittng here watching auctions and trying to manually bid, but the esnipers were getting everything so I hit a buy it now ad.

I got mine at a local convience store that sells "smoking accessories".

Small scale weighs up to 1lb does oz and grams......of course.

Was like 20 bucks I use it for weighing redfins, plug weights etc.

Battery life is crazy long, had it for 3 years now never replaced em.

They sit in there for years. Have to wait for all the appeals. By the time a sentence has been served the scale has been pushed around so much it probably doesn't work anymore.
