Prime Day is looming around the corner. It’s a good time to check for sales. I bought a couple off-season and paid $11 each. We use digital scales all the time in the science classes, especially in Chemistry and Physics. The scales need to be work horses. I have had good luck with this model.
I first ran across these scales when I bought eScience kits to cannibalize for lab equipment. I compared prices for mini scales at eBay, Walmart, Temu, and Amazon. The price is about $6 each. The problem lies with the quality. I bought three off-brands and pitched them after a month. Buy the scale from Walmart or Amazon, where it is easy to return it if it’s defective. Check the scale’s accuracy with coins. A penny minted after 1982 is 2.5 g. Here are the coin specifications. Below are screenshots and a video explaining how to weigh with a digital scale. I strongly recommend buying a digital scale for your labs.
