There will be no disputing the weight of that huge buck, antelope, boar or black bear with the easy-to-read hanging dial scale. It accurately measures in 2-lb. increments up to 550 lbs. Metal hooks above and below facilitate hanging between gambrel and hoist. A zeroing dial helps you maintain accuracy. Heavy-duty metal housing. Also reads in kilograms up to 250.
Worst Cabela's product I have ever purchased, I have had it for a year without ever using it. When I drove across the country this year for a hunting trip I threw it in the truck for trash talking at deer camp. When I got there it was reading like 90lbs and after putting a 200+ deer on it it said 140 lbs... the knob to adjust it's zero is a joke. If you shake the scale it jumps all over the place. But hey, it's a cabela's product so they honored their warranty... REFUND.... Got to love good customer service!
I bought this scale last year and used it only 1 time. I worked fine last year but when I went to use it a few days ago it was reading 50 pounds. The screw to reset the weight to zero was stripped out. This is a very poorly made product. I will be buying a different scale!!!
The scale face is extremely wavy and very cheap looking, kind of like it was made out of cardboard that got wet. The chemical smell is so strong when you open the box you may want to do it outside. I imagine it would take weeks for the smell of this scale to subside.
The scale was cheaply priced, so I wasn't expecting great quality. If it was accurate within a few pounds I'd keep it... but it is not.
I used high quality olympic weights to test the scale's accuracy. At 45lbs the scale read 50lbs, at 90lbs it read 105lbs, and at 135lbs it read 148lbs.
