BladeScale Series Pocket Scale

I needed a portable digital scale to help me manage my meal time, caloric intake, because of diabetes. The scales digital readout is mounted on the side of the scale and actually is only open when using the device. The AWS scale has all the bells and whistles of a weighing device that easily costs 3-4 times as much. The new scale has possibly, the most easy, self-intuitive, curve there is for learning the scales features, controls, and various functions. It has 4 modes for weighing. It weighs (g)grams, (oz)ounces, (ct)carats and (gn)grains. Just tap the mode button to switch between measurement units. The scale has a very nice 2 piece, plastic case to protect the scale when not in use. The 2 pieces of the case consists of 1 large base and a smaller sized lid, which can both be used to weigh with.There's also a tare button, which takes and automatically subtracts the weight of your weighing container so your a measurements are precise and exact. You put your container on the powered up scale tray. The backlit display shows the weight of your measuring container. Just tap the tare button again, the display will now read 0.00, you're now ready to add your desired item to be weighed, onto the weighing container. Your scale has a +/- tolerance of 0.02 g. It's well constructed and has a 10 year warranty. By the way, it's powered by 2 AAA batteries. I will gladly recommend this wholeheartily to you, my family and friends.
