Integrated tape measure for checking bag dimensions
Don't get penalized for overweight or oversized luggage ever again. This compact scale weighs bags up to 75 lbs. and
locks at the correct weight for easy reading. Twist to reset to zero. Integrated tape measure can be used to check
overall dimensions. It's a small price to pay
to prevent surcharges. Imported.
I have to agree with the first few reviews on this product - my girlfriend went to Rome Italy & I weighed her bag 3 times with this scale - came to 36 lbs. She called me when she landed & told me the airport scale weighed in at 42 lbs - that's 6 lbs. off - not good ! She was still under the 50 lb weight limit but if it was closer - it would have been more $$$$
I weighed other objects in the garage ( tackle bag ) - weighed 30 lbs. on a digital Rapala 50 lb fish scale - weighed 25 lbs on this product - another 5 lbs off !
I would not recommend this product - I'm sending it back - should have read the reviews before I bought it - what do you expect for $ 10 ?
Going to try the other digital scale from Cabela's - do not but this one - too inaccurate - and inaccuracy in today's times will cost you more $$$ at the airport !!
I broke this little scale about 20 seconds after I took it out of the packaging - as my husband was telling me to be careful with it! Oh, well. Just be aware - do not turn it counterclockwise past zero! We still use it, it just took some fiddling to learn how to use it backward. I don't regret buying it at all.
Used this to check our bags before we returned from Maui. I wasn't sure how accurate they were so I only packed to 46 lbs to leave some wiggle room. The airport scale read 50.5 lbs (they didn't charge me). I checked the bag on a calibrated scale at home, thinking the airline scale was incorrect. The airline scale was correct and my travel scale was 4.5 lbs off. I continued to play with the scale and could not get an accurate or even a consistant reading no matter what I tried.
I do not recommend this scale because it is not accurate or consistant.
I have to agree with the other comments. This is probably the first product that I purchased from Cabela's that just doesn't work. A simple design that isn't accurate and will get you in trouble at the airport if you are not careful. It registers too high, then too low. I ended up emptying part of my suitcase at the ticket counter b/c this item was wrong! Lucky for me I had a carry-on I could shove clothes into for my flight back home. Stay away from this product!
