What do you mean it's only for pets? This thing IS our pet!

Re: Scale Recommendations

Try using 2 hand held luggage scales. $20 each at Bead Bath and Beyond or similar. Will hold 75 pounds each. 2 team members can safely weigh a full size robot with the pair. Must calibrate to verify reading buy our pair is 1.2 lb over at 120lbs. Lasted 4 seasons and still going strong. Also use for airline luggage and tool totes.
