Pocket scales from China

At the dawn of the general dacha fever, gardeners kept strict records of the harvest. Carefully grown vegetables guaranteed a solid supply in the pantry for the winter, and recipes for the best "twists" were passed from neighbors to neighbors.

Today, home preservation is undeservedly forgotten, and all the necessary pickles can easily be found in the nearest supermarket. However, some gardeners, for the sake of interest and the determination of the best varieties, still continue to fix the yield. To do this, in the arsenal of each summer resident there should be small scales.

A steelyard is the simplest version of pocket scales. With the advent of modern technologies into our lives, electronic steelyards have appeared, which are quite accessible to every amateur gardener. In domestic online stores, the price of the device depends on the measurement range. For example, the Homestar HS-3003 model can withstand a load of up to 50 kilograms.

The steelyard is very compact - it weighs only 200 grams. The set includes two AA batteries. In addition, the device has an automatic shutdown function. Ideal for summer cottages, going to the market or fishing trips. The cost of a steelyard with an LCD display is 378 rubles. More expensive devices are distinguished by design and minor improvements, such as display backlighting and the ability to select units of measure.

You can buy an electronic steelyard about half the price on AliExpress. Even outwardly, the scales will look almost the same.

Main characteristics:

• laconic design;
• lifting capacity up to 50 kg;
• wide LCD screen;
• low battery alarm;
• automatic shutdown function.

Reviews note the possibility of switching the unit of measurement. The values ​​are clearly visible on the large blue backlit screen. Power supply - two AAA batteries, sold separately. The kit includes instructions in Chinese and English. The manufacturer claims an error of up to 10 grams, which, according to buyers, is not critical. By holding down the Unit button, the device also measures the temperature.

According to reviews, the electronic steelyard is fully consistent with its low price (187 rubles, delivery is free). It is impossible to find a device with a similar set of functions even cheaper in Russian online stores, so we advise you to order scales on the AliExpress website. Delivery will take a maximum of two months, and by the beginning of the summer season you will be fully armed.
