 IT DID WHAT I NEEDED IT TO DO. Mar 21, 2009
By Edward Murdoch
"Renaissance Man"
I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond. I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats. Then I used the scale to weigh the stone. It weighed 3.4 carats, meaning that it's cubic zirconia, which has a specific gravity much higher than that of a diamond.
Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it.
By the way, this scale is quite small and light, can use several different units of measure, and arrived with batteries installed and ready for the calibration to be tested and the scale to be used.

 Great combination Apr 10, 2009
By rhodeymark
DBRoth provides the one piece chrome calibration weight as pictured, in a plastic carrying case. I saw in reviews of other vendors that the 100g weight provided was inferior and in one case, missing a screw-on handle (!). The scale is very nice for a variety of uses where precision is required, and the sensitivity to measure grains at this price is an outstanding value. Readout is bright and and calibration is pass/fail, a nice feature imo.

American weight 100 and the 600gram scales Jun 01, 2009
By Brent Boettcher
I collect tobacco pipes and blend pipe tobacco for my own use, and I needed a small digital scale for measuring out the differant tobacco's. I originally bought the 100 gram scale but realized that I should have purchased the 600 gram scale for weighing larger amounts.I knew it was worth the money so I purchased the 600 gram scale too.They also work great for weighing my small packages and envelopes that I mail,now I can figure my postage before going to the post office. They are both very easy to use and I'm very satisfied with the quality of both of these scales.I recommend these two scales to anyone needing a small scale. And for the price,I am glad that I bought both of them. Good Luck

 Misrepresented Jun 24, 2010
By R. Kesler
I am disappointed because this scale combo has been misrepresented. It states a 100 gram calibration weight is included and it wasn't. I can't wait a month for the turnaround of a return and refund, so I guess I get to eat it since they won't just send the calibration weight to me that THEY DID NOT INCLUDE. Give me what I paid for!!!!!

Bait & switch Jul 13, 2010
By D. Anderson
"BG D"
First, although the item arrived within the estimated period (barely), it was one of the slowest deliveries I've ever had on an Amazon purchase.
Then, as others here have written, there was no calibration weight included. No space for it in the package, no separate package, no indication that it should have been included. When contacted, Amazon said it could not rectify this by sending me the weight; the seller had apparently changed its policy without changing its listing.
Last, the batteries were already set in the active battery compartment without a separator between them and the contacts, and thus they were DOA.
All around one of the worst purchasing experiences I've had with Amazon, but it's all on the store that listed these scales, Potential Dynamix. I returned the item, got a refund approved, ordered a Polder scale directly from Amazon and received it within three business days. My recommendation: avoid Potential Dynamix and its false advertising.
