This is my second OXO scale. I worked the first one to death.
After losing my first of these to overwork, I thought I could live without it, because I'm not cooking these days or mailing out packages daily. Then I realized that I need one for my knitting. Let's see, I have three or four balls of yarn, left over from a completed project. If I can determine the weight in grams, I can figure out how many yards I have left and what I can do with the scraps.
This thing is so incredibly useful for so many things! And it's priced right and has the best features (e.g., the pull out display, the easy tare operation.) I have a couple of the other styles and makes of scales. Most are limited to kitchen use, with a small bowl to hold your mince or diced veggies, but this baby does it all.
