Smart Weigh 500 x 0.01g Digital Pro Pocket Scale Review





I've been lucky enough to be chosen for a review of The Digital Pro Pocket Scale. I love it for many reasons one being – it’s very compact and is certainly portable. In fact it comes with plastic protectors for the top and bottom of the scale so you could slip it into a pocket or purse if you need to take the scale with you. The clear casings protect the scale from scratches and at the same time can double up as a container for smaller, harder to weigh items.



I use it on my computer desk, mostly for weighing letters and packages because I deal with snail mail as I call it daily. I always have to run to the post office recently this past week I was thankful to have it handy in my purse when the scale went out at the post office. The guy said “You come with everything off in your purse what else is in there”. Haha never any telling what I might pull out of my purse it carries it all. I’m a mom!
I have even used The Digital Pro Pocket Scale in my kitchen fixing my kids lunches. They love it just as much as I do. They pick out what they want for lunch I cut up let’s just say for an example; ham, cheese, strawberries, crackers are already little and cut up. Then we weigh out everything inside of cupcake holders. Then we take it and pack it in a holder for their lunch. I heard one of my kids say this past week “Josie is jealous of my neatly done lunch.” I said well tell her how we fix it up and about The Digital Pro Pocket Scale we use.

Lunch for the kids - Yummy!




The weight models are:
oz/ounces: Standard measure here in the US.

g/grams: Metric unit
ct/carats: Used to weigh gemstones and pearls
dwt/pennyweights: Also mostly used to weigh precious metals for dental applications.
ozt/troy ounces: Unit used for weighing precious metals or gemstones
gn/grains: There aren't many current uses for grains -- mostly pharmaceutical or dental.


The TARE function is a big plus for me because it zeroes out the weight of the container. I wish my digital bathroom scale has a TARE function too.

My kids have used the PCS function once I read the instructions in the book we realized they could weigh out beads, pennies, rocks, etc. You get the items you want say 50 pcs of different beads. You want to count but it’s too time consuming right? Just take a few of them and place them on the container press PCS then enter the number you placed. Now, you can add more beads and the Smart Weigh will count the number of beads you place. No more counting until 100! How easy is that? It makes crafting easier too & homework as well.
I did notice just playing around with it getting use to The Smart Weigh that it is very sensitive because it can weigh even an empty envelope. I love that because I don't have to guess how much my letter weighs and I won't have to deal with returned letters due to insufficient postage. :) This is a very useful tool for me.

My whole family has used this at some point during the last two weeks. I think this is a good fit for us and so happy we got picked for this review.
