At American Weigh Scales, we know that precision matters. This portable scale can weigh up to 1000 grams, making it perfect for measuring food, spices, medicine, herbs, coins, or other small items. We've designed this mini scale to be easy to use no matter where you take it. It features a digital LCD screen that is backlit for high visibility. Our tiny scale comes pre-calibrated, although you can calibrate it with a 500 gram weight (sold separately). The scale comes with a built-in stainless-steel measuring surface, which is easy to clean and care for. Plus, the scale comes with a built-in cover for heavy-duty protection wherever it goes. With the ability to convert between ounces, grams, pennyweights, and troy ounces, this scale is extremely versatile. We've also simplified the functionality so it is easy to use. There are only 3 buttons on the device: Tare, On/Off, and Mode. This lightweight scale requires 2 AAA batteries, which are included with purchase. The scale also comes with an auto-off function, so you won't have to worry about running down the batteries. Our small electronic scale is portable, so it's easy to take on the go. With dimensions 3" x 5" x 0.8", this small scale can fit in your purse, backpack, satchel, handbags, or other bags. Because of its small size, this scale is perfect for use in the kitchen. It precisely measures anywhere from 0.1 grams to 1000 grams. All AWS electronic scales feature highly accurate strain gauge technology, which offers precision day after day. Plus, our electronic scales feature auto-on technology - with a press of a button on the scale, you easily get your accurate weight measurement.
