I'm tired of not knowing exactly what I've got in my hands in terms of dimensions and weight...

Digital calipers on the way, so what I need now is a scale. Looking for an inexpensive one with the capacity for typical butt and shaft weights (and entire cues, if need be)...

I'm thinking a 1000g x 0.1g (35.2oz x 0.01oz) scale...
Anyone got anything like that out there for sale cheap?



Thanks!

I just bought one at Target, (food scale). Works perfect and weighs up to 5lbs. It is digital and will measure in ounces (i.e. 15.21 ounces). And now for the cost..............$29.99 plus tax. I just bought this 2 days ago and calipers.............where did you get the digital one? Ebay?
 
!!!!!!!!!

Just google up jewelry scales. All you need is 500 grams get ones that take
AAA battries. You will be able to weigh up 21oz. cues by weighing shaft
an butt separate. Should cost in the 25.00 dollar range plus shipping.

I want a 1000g x 0.1g scale, though...
May have to be weighing entire cues from time to time, as well (i.e.- house cues)...

Not that I haven't found those online. Just wondering if there's cheaper somewhere...
 
The one I bought at Target had a 5" x 5" bed, but you can put any light weight piece of foam or rubber on it and zeroize the scale to compensate when weighing the butt and shafts. Works real good and runs on 2 double AA's.

If you snipe one at the end of a listing late at night, you should be able to stay under $20 total. I did

I got a postal scale off ebay. Under $20.00 total. It works great. The bed also has a little lip so the cue won't roll off.
 
Scale

I got mine from one of the office supply stores on sale for under 20.00
Capacity 5 lb/2.2 kg
6 inch round tray
Look under postal scales
 
I got this one in Wal-Mart like a year ago, weights oz's & grams up to 1000gr.
I think I paid $25 for it.

Ebay, postal/food scale. Bout 20 bucks.
 
This is a $20 postal scale from ebay. It reads up to 50lbs. Note the flip up lid and the raised lip so your cue doesn't roll off. It has a postage scale on the bed, and it's also excellent for pool chemicals.
