What kind of tool is that???

I have a Berkley digital fish scale that goes up to 50 lbs. I think it was $19 at Wal-Mart. It is extremely accurate. I have checked it against known weights, from a 3 oz bag of potato chips up to a 25 lb bag of sugar and it is spot on.

If you have a dry chemical extinguisher in your garage, it's a good idea to weigh it annually.

The main thing I use it for is to get accurate shipping weights for stuff I sell on eBay. Throw your parts and packaging in a bag and hang it from the hook. Now there will be no suprises at the Post Office.

Yup, I have a Rapala that I got from Walmart a few years ago. I originally picked it up to weight CO2 tanks when filling (I have 2-100lb bulk tanks in the garage) but I use it more for packages now like you said.
