We will be offering this great scale for use in chassis setup. I searched a long time to find one that is accurate, durable and inexpensive to boot! This scale can be calibrated and we offer a calibration weight too. I feel that being able to calibrate your scale is a must have feature. If you can't calibrate your scale then you have no way of knowing just how accurate your scale, and thus your setup, really is.

A classic design pocket scale. It's thin, durable and accurate. Although this scale is small, it's cover can be used as an expansion tray to make the weighing platform larger then most table-sized scales. The resilient integrated ribbed poly-case and 5PPS* makes it more durable then any other scale in it's class.

*Uses the exclusive new 5PPS 5 Point Overload Protection System to help prevent damage from accidental overload of the scale.

Now thats a good deal:thumbsup:

Hank,
Will this be the price all the time, or is this a sale price to get it started?

This is the regular price... pretty much rock bottom. Retails for $29.95, lowest eBay price I could find is $19.95. The only thing is I had to buy a large quantity to get them at this price. Depending on how many and how quickly they sell I may not buy this large of a quantity next time so the price would be higher.

If I tell you it's a sale price would that make you buy them now? ;)

LOL......Pretty soon, I need to see what all wifey got me for Xmas first.

I have the tracking number for my scale shipment and the delivery date has been adjusted to Tuesday the 21st. For those that have ordered, if they are delivered in the morning I will ship Tuesday afternoon. If they aren't delivered until the afternoon they will be shipped Wed.

The scales have arrived and you can order them at www.hobbyshopper.com (http://www.hobbyshopper.com)

Those that preordered had their scales shipped today.

There was a question about using pocket scales and that if you didn't get the tires exactly in the middle of the tray on the scale that the wieght could be off. Just to find out I took a "D" sized battery and placed it on different positions on the tray. The maximum difference was +/- 0.1 gram... that is equal to a maximum difference of 0.007 oz. See below attached pictures of the tests.
