The digital pocket scales market has been really competitive of late with manufacturers trying to outdo each other by bringing out the smallest, yet still practical, and accurate digital pocket scales.
In our opinion, these are the on the money right now. Jennings MSM2 Matchbox scales are quite simply the cutest small digital scales available anywhere. They come in a number of different models including 50g, 200g and 500g. A slick bit of kit, and accurate to boot, they measure in 0.1gs.
The designer modelled them on an actual matchbox, hence slide in and slide out function. These digital pocket scales are also the size of about four matchboxes. It’s totally cool.
Gram scales are another term for the incremental capacity ability of digital scales, especially in the “UK”. Incremental capacity is simply the difference between weights that your gram scales can weigh – for example, they can weigh to the accuracy of one gram, or 0.1g, or ten grams. More clearly, if you were to place mass on ten gram scales that weighed one gram, it would measure the mass as 0 grams, or as ten grams.
Gram scales have an incremental capacity of one gram, so if you placed a mass of 3.4g on gram scales, it would weigh that mass as 3g. There are scales which are more precise than gram scales and which weigh in tenths of grams, however, scales like these tend not to be able to weigh as much mass in one go as gram scales. Gram scales, especially in the “UK”, can sometimes weigh as much as 1kg in one weigh. More accurate scales from “UK” distributors can sometimes weigh up to 500g.
Gram scales offer great value for money, in fact you could even say that digital gram scales can be picked up pretty “cheap” – just make sure that they come with a good guarantee.
Precision is vital with jewelry scales and having enough space to weigh out jewels and the like is also of prime importance. If you try to cram mass onto jewelry scales then you can’t be sure that the jewelry scales will weigh out your goods correctly.
If precision is key, then accuracy readability in your jewelry scales counts. It’s important that you look for jewellery scales that can weigh to 0.1g precision. This accuracy ability may mean that you have to compromise on maximum load some but then, in the main, jewelry is light, and as long as you have a maximum load of, say, 100g; you should be more than covered.
Choose an easy platform shape such as a square so that weighing out matter is easy. Jewelry scales now come in really cute compact designs and their ability to weigh out goods isn’t hindered either because included in the design is often a pop out lid which increases the area of the weighing tray – just fantastic!
Even though jewelry can be expensive jewelry scales can be “cheap”, It’s possible to get really practical and precise jewelry scales for under £20 and that’s from a “UK” retailer, which offers free delivery!
Micro scales are fun and funky and they also provide the extra benefit of being really portable so you can take them wherever you want to go – weighing is no longer limited to within the home, workplace or wherever else you keep your scales. Despite sounding pretty fancy, micro scales can be affordable too. You don’t need to buy especially “cheap” micro scales; most reputable micro scales providers will be able to offer you good value for money, so small that they are actually even made as key ring devices. Despite their slim bulk, micro scales are a practical option because they are built with protective lids that can be used as expansion trays. The expansion is an extension to the weighing tray surface areas and increases its size as well as the micro scales overall usefulness. Most “UK” micro scales have this great feature, which is fun and practical at the same time jewellery scales really usable.
“UK” micro scales can be found in all sorts of shapes and forms, but are always micro naturally. As with any other consumer product, micro scales can be bought at “cheap” and inexpensive prices or they can be very dear indeed.
Look for the maximum load that the micro scales you are considering can take. A micro-sized scale should be able to accurately weigh 100g. Precision is always paramount with micro-sized scales you should never have to sacrifice accuracy. You should find that most micro scales from “UK” manufacturers should sell micro scales that weigh to 0.1g precisions.
Mini scales are a great, “cheap” and practical solution for those that want to weigh on the go. Mini scales can be so very wee that they’ll fit in your pocket and the designers have been practical enough to build expansion trays into these UK “products”, so that mini scales remain useful too. An expansion tray is a lid of sorts that doubles as the weighing tray, and increases the surface area of these “UK” mini scales products, so that you can weigh out a decent amount of mass making these dinky UK products really usable.
Mini scales in the UK come in all different sizes of mini from the very small, and “cheap” key ring scales to the, by contrast, huge pocket scales.
As long as you’re considering scales, from a “UK” manufacturer, that don’t need to weigh more than 500g, then there are a fantastic range of mini scales to choose from. These are great starter scales that offer practicality combined with value for money, as well as a good pinch of cool too.
So don’t be fooled by their name, mini scales may be small but they’re also very useful too, and if you look carefully, you can find them at really “cheap” prices too, even from reputable “UK” manufacturers and distributors.
Small digital scales can be really handy because they’re small and light. Portable diet scales are great for slipping in your handbag when you go out to dinner, so even the most tempting situations are under your control. This way foods can be measured on the go, for example at a supermarket, to make sure that you don’t over shop.
Portable diet scales are also useful for those who follow special food diets and need to weigh certain amounts of specific food groups such as carbohydrates. Anyone following an Atkins diet must be able to see the benefit of these mini digital pocket scales immediately!
Small diet scales don’t have to be used solely for dietary reasons, they could be happily on the office manager’s desk for when stamps or post need to be weighed out. Pocket digital scales have myriad uses.
Laboratory Scales are called Laboratory Scales because they look slick and scientific. You don’t need Bunsen Burners to get the science look! Laboratory scales offer fantastic value for money because they tick a lot of boxes. Laboratory Scales can be small and portable. Laboratory Scales are also able to offer fantastic maximum capacities whilst also offering very sensitive increment abilities. For example, we have slim-line laboratory scales, which allow the user to weigh up to 3000g in one go whilst simultaneously offering a sensitivity of an amazing 0.1g.
Laboratory Scales are almost always slim-line, and when we means slim-line, we mean flat as a pancake slim-line. Laboratory Scales therefore deliver a great modern aesthetic for the pocket or the platform. Most of our laboratory scales come in slick silver or jet-black to deliver extra suave technology style.
Convenience is king in today's consumer culture. Consumers are faced with huge amounts of choice these days and products have to make themselves desirable and meaningful to customers to ensure successful product sales.
With the advent of technology, we have been able to build electronic devices on smaller and smaller scales. This, in turn, has affected fashion and consumer desire. Consumers now like their electronic devices to be small.
Digital travel scales win on both levels. They are both desirable and meaningful. The nature of a travel product is that it is easy to transport and digital travel scales are exactly this. They are pocket sized. In this way, digital travel scales are meaningful - they fulfil the practical need of a travel product - and they are desirable - digital travel scales are small and gadget-like.
Touch screen scales are a symbol of ultra cool modern living and because of this they often come in stainless steel, and in gloss black and sleek silver colours. The coolest touch screens are pocket digital scales combining technology with compactness. Small is definitely beautiful. Despite their small size they tend to have all the features of their bulkier brothers such as different weighing modes, backlighting, low battery indication and the like. If you are in need of some dinky digital scales then why not make a statement and buy some touch screen digital scales. Whatever the accuracy scale you need, from 0.01g or 0.01g, touch screen digital scales blend practicality with a cool digital scale design aesthetic.
There are all sorts of large platform scales. Large platform scales are essentially humungous digital scales that are used in industry to weigh huge products and mass such as pallets containing tiles, or even cars. However, large platform scales can also mean super mini scales that have large platforms, relative to their size, for weighing. Many of our small digital scales have large platforms for weighing goods and come with expansion trays to allow you to weigh more mass still.
If you are looking for non-industry large platform digital scales then you have come to the right place. Most of our pocket digital scales have protective covers that double up as expansion trays increasing the surface area of the platform so you can weigh more mass!
If you are looking for something sturdy, that weighs a lot of load, then Bench Scales are for you. Bench Scales are also known as Platform Scales. They are called these names because these are scales that sit on a surface; they are too big to fit in a pocket and are static rather than portable. The benefit of Bench Scales is that they can weigh out much matter in jiffy.
The way it works in the world of scales is that there’s a compromise toss-up between increment sensitivity and maximum capacity. The more stuff Bench Scales can weigh, the less increment sensitivity they are likely to have. So, the choice is yours. What is more important? That your Bench Scales can measure in 0.1g increments or that they can weigh up to a whopping 7KG in one go? Have a look at these to start making your mind up.
Diamond scales come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with different capacities and increments. A good maximum capacity for Diamond Scales is 100ct or 20g. Diamond scales of this maximum capacity should be sensitive to increments of 0.1g still. However, there are Diamond Scales that weigh up to 100g, or 500ct, that also have a increment sensitivity of 0.1g. If you are looking for some a little ore sensitive, then think about choosing Diamond Scales with a smaller maximum capacity, for example of 50ct (10g), which should have a sensitivity of 0.01g or 0.005ct.
Look for added extras when buying Diamond Scales such as built-in tweezers, test weighs and separate weighing cups. Draught-proof protective covers are a good idea when dealing with expensive gems too!
Our Diamond Scales come with a 14-day money back guarantee, a 15-year guarantee and free delivery. Have a look at some of these Diamond Scales for more.
Electronic scales can weigh material with unparalleled precision. And there are countless occasions of when precision is vital. This might be because you are weighing jewels, something which can be done with small electronic scales but there are also situations when mass needs to be weighed precisely on a large scale.
An example is when pallet trucks need to transport very heavy material. Transporting heavy goods has its risks and therefore each pallet truck has a maximum capacity. In this situation electronic scales are vital so that too much mass is never weighed onto the truck.
Because pallet trucks are used outside these electronic scales need to be waterproof. This just goes to show that electronic scales are so widespread and advanced these days that they are used in industry in this way, and can even be built to be waterproof.
In the noughties we have become more aware of health. The polarity between images of thin models pasted onto billboards and projected from every screen and the realities of the NHS’s struggle to care for the obese is wider than ever before.
It is also true that propensity to become obese has changed hands from the upper class to the working class. Rather than eat from the land, the working class eat from the high street and supermarkets produce fatty fodder with low price points. Something in its raw form, which hasn't had its nutrition obliterated is, ironically, more expensive.
Never have nutritional scales been more important. We have learned that whilst carbohydrate is good for you, refined carbs are not. You can now buy nutritional scales, which measure this.
Nutritional scales do not have to be expensive, so why not look into buying some nutritional scales today.
Silver scales can mean two things. Silver scales can refer to scales that are silver or to scales that weigh silver.
If you are looking for the first kind of silver scales, then these are ubiquitous. When it comes to gadgets and electronic devices, silver is our favourite colour. And it's understandable why: it's so fresh and clean and gleaming. This refers to silver scales too. You can get silver scales, which are pocket-sized, silver scales, which are for kitchen purposes and silver scales for post offices.
There are of course silver scales that are used to weigh silver and gold and gems. These are jewellery scales and also come in silver
