Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of American Weigh AWS-100 Precision Pocket Scale 100 x 0.01g
Customer Review: Just what I wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
This item arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I received the silver model which I prefer to black. I ordered a separate 100 gm calibration weight because several reviews said theirs did not come with a weight as is advertised. I now have a spare. Both calibration weights were in excellent condition and appear to be chrome. They look like the picture on Amazon. One thing to check when first turning it on is the batteries. Mine came installed, but they each had a plastic wrapping to protect them from being discharged. You have to remove them, take the wrapping off, and reinstall them.
This little scale fit into my shirt pocket with no problem. As delivered, this model claims it does not need calibration right away. I checked it anyway and found that each of the two 100 gm calibration weights measured about 0.08 gm high. That's a pretty small difference, 0.08 percent. I don't know if the calibration weights are a teeny bit heavy or if the scale measurement was a teeny bit off (0.08 gm is a very small weight). But since I got the same answer for both weights, I decided to recalibrate the scale using them. I'm not sure whether I would trust this scale, or any other low cost scale for that matter, if I had to have precise measurements that I completely trusted, I think then I would opt for a scale and calibration weights whose accuracy was traceable to a standards lab. But they are much more expensive.
I wanted this scale for two main reasons, weighing letters up to 3.5 ounces and weighing small model railroad cars. I have a lot of z-scale model railroad cars. Z-scale is very small, about 3/4 the size of the more common N-scale. Cars weigh about 10-20 grams. They operate better if cars weigh about the same. I can now check my cars and add small weights to balance things out. I can also see some use for checking the weight of some jewelry I have from my late wife. I need to get some of this appraised and knowing the weight in advance may prove useful. I tried weighing several small items and some model railroad cars and was happy with the speed and ease of doing so. It will take a while to see how the scale holds up over time, but I am happy with it and highly recommend it to anyone who needs to measure small weights.
This model is too small to use much for weighing diet portions of food. An ounce is 28.35 grams, so this is only good to 3.5 ounces. For that you probably need a 500 gm model.
