Well built, does exactly what I want. It is indeed a great price too. I bought it for setting down rigger release tension. My wife is a teacher and I recommend it for teachers too needing classroom spring scales for science lessons.

The scales worked well. The price was right too! Thanks much, Dwight Moore

Just like the other reviews I read so far this is a very simple product and is easy to use. The best feature is the weight marker that allows you to determine the force after you unload the scale. I have absolutely no problems to report with this product. The service from Old Will Knott Scales was great and the standard USPS shipping was fast.

I am not sure how to use this scale properly. I had to file the end of the hook to a point so I could insert it through the lower lip of the bass I catch in order to weigh them. I was told at a sporting goods store that if I hooked the bass on the scale through the gills I would kill them. The fish are alive and flopping about, but with a sharp point on the hook of the scale, they are much easier to weight. Other than that, the scale is as advertised.
