Here's a secret for the uninformed: This is a very popular scale with people who never weigh a single fish. This is perhaps the best inexpensive package scale you can get, and if you're a regular eBay seller, it's one of the best tools you cna buy for making accurate weighings for estimating shipping charges. With this scale and a plastic bag, you can weigh any package, no matter how irregularly shaped, and get a weight accurate within an ounce or two. But remember- it's a secret! 5 stars

Despite a tracking number, this order did not get shipped out for some reason. Based on other reviews, it sounded like the perfect thing to weigh my suitcases, and it was supposed to get shipped right away. Finally, it arrived a week late. It did not work. Called the company (Berkley) and they just wanted to read the instructions to me, and kept telling me it was the batteries. I told them several times it's not the batteries, as it switches on just fine. It just won't weigh anything. But I humored them and checked the batteries 3 times, took them out, put them back in, etc. Switches on, won't register anything but 0 lb. 0 oz. After 25 minutes on the phone they said I'd have to send the current one in first before they sent a replacement. With my trip coming up, I don't have the time for that. I'll go for another brand of scale. 1 star

Product arrived on time for Christmas; Just what my husband wanted! Good product, good price. 4 stars

I'm not a fisherman, but bought this to accurately weigh items I sell on ebay so I can print online postage at home. Works perfectly. 4 stars

A nice little weighing device for fishing or general postage item weights. I use it for fishing and it provides a quick and accurate measure of fish weight. It uses two CR2032 batteries and has a battery saving mode which switches the device off after two minutes of non-use. Handy as these batteries can be expensive if you rip through them often. The scale can read in both pounds and kilograms which is great as I am in Australia and prefer metric scale, as used over here. Operation is simple with two buttons so you are up and running in seconds. Great little scale (for whatever purpose) and appears to be quite accurate too. 5 stars
