No more guessing (approximating) weights for my shop... Aluminum housing lends confidence that this scale will last (despite heavy use). Large backlit display is easily legible. Heavy-duty buckle anchor loop (29/32\" throat opening, >1.8\" hoop, 25/64\" thickness/diameter). Secure snap-closure lower S-hook (1 1/32\" opening, 25/64\" thickness/diameter). What's not to love? Convenient that it's self-service to calibrate - just follow a couple, simple steps! Now, to locate the right weights (5,10, and 20kg)... Very pleased with the robst construction - great price point, too!
