Straightforward reliable scale.
Scale is simple, straightforward, and accurate. Though it does have some drawbacks such as the cord being cosmetically prone to wear causing the outer coating wearing out / flaking off after years of use, from I assume contact with compressor oil that gets on it from your hands when removing AC gauge hoses, etc. The handheld display and control isn't waterproof and is quite sensitive to water which will cause it to become unresponsive if you get it caught in the rain so steps should be taken to keep it dry and the control/display covered if rain is expected.
With the drawbacks said, I have used and abused my first CPS CC220 daily for about 6-8 years and even though it has been soaked with water more times than I can remember, it has always come back to life after it dried out. Battery life is phenomenal and only requires changing very rarely. It has continued to keep its factory calibration and weighing accurately despite years of use with heavy refrigerant bottles and even heavier 50lb capacity reclaim bottles as well as the occasional fall.
I bought the exact same scale as a backup for the day my original scale finally decides to retire.
