Title: SCALE
Post by: flynhawaiian on April 11, 2010, 09:08:07 AM

Okay, since the last scale I got ended up being a tiny one.  Is there any scales you guys might recomend?

I found this one, but I’m not sure.  Thoughts?

I love them both  ::nod::
I got a smaller one too but can get a small container on it, so it works. ;)

One reason we didn't like the bowl one, is it would be harder to store.  We were looking at the kd-200 and liked that one but the price was about 90.  We felt this one might be better but we were wondering...

i don't have that exact scale, but i do have one with a bowl, and i'm the opposite as fly.. only because i think it's easier to weigh a fidgeting chin in a bowl..  what i do is put one in, and just put my hands over the top of his head abit so he can't jump out.. and it's works great for keeping them in there until you are done..

 ::silly::  Google "Postal Scales" ... these weigh in grahams, not ounces ... are very accurate ... and usually reasonably priced.   :::grins::
