 Great Simple Design only Wish They Made a Bigger One June 7, 2007
For a simple at-home mail scale this is accurate and simple to use. I've used one for years and someone broke it. Though the device is seemingly indestructable, someone pulled off the clip that holds the envelope. I had looked and looked for a replacement and finally found one through Amazon (or one of its affiliate sellers actually). Though I only need one, I bought two, just so I have a back up. It only weighs items up to four ounces, and I wish there was a scale of the same design that would go up to 8 or 10 ounces. But this one is a great little device.
Owned this since 1979 December 16, 2006

Wow, they still make this? I've owned this since 1979 and the only disadvantage is that it only accurately registers up to 4 oz. I still have the card that says 1st class is 15 cents for the first ounce. Over the years it's saved me a bunch of money and worrry about how much postage to use.
Now that I sell things online, I'm looking for something with more capacity.

What did folks do before batteries?
This device is simple, nearly bullet proof and maintenance free.
Long ago, when I worked in electronics, we would make balance scale using a pencil for a lever, 3 alligator clips, and coins for weights. Coins have very strict size and weight standards set by the US mint. The center of the pencil served as a fulcrum which was shifted to zero the scale.
These pocket scales work on the same principle, and are far more reliable than a spring scale, are robust, light, and worry-free. If all you need is an occassional weight check because you're running low on postage, you can't beat these pocket scales especially in high-postage air mail letters.
Its gets 4/5 stars only because retail, these scales cost less than $3. With snail-mail being less frequent, why bother with a battery powered scale that if used rarely, would likely have dead batteries when you did need it?
Lastly, if you were really strapped, you can make these balance scales read more than its calibration by adding a counterweight [ usually coins] so the scale can at least be doubled, if not more.
 I can't believe they sell these on Amazon! October 24, 2006

These are pocket scales, the very same scale used by your local street drug dealers to weigh their goods. Also used by the savvy drug user to make sure they aren't bring ripped off by said drug dealers. I can't believe they are being listed as "postal scales", which is what I searched for! LOL. I have to get back to work now.
Letter weight, one stamp or two? August 23, 2006

Works perfectly, save time at the post office. Does that letter require just one stamp or two? Accurate weight up to four ounces or weighs in grams.
