Klau Crane Scale, Mini Hoist 300 kg / 600 lb Industrial Heavy Duty Digital Hanging Scales Yellow for Home Farm Factory Hunting

The product has a precision / accuracy than the other scale I have used before.

For a long time now I've searched high and low for an affordable crane scale with a peak hold feature. Being in the UK, these are nigh on impossible to find - at least at a reasonable price - So when I saw that I could get one of these shipped to the UK, I decided to take a chance and buy one.I'm extremely glad I did. I paid extra for fast shipping and it arrived in four days. That was a nice surprise and made the small amount extra I paid over standard shipping more than worth it.Upon opening the box I was a little apprehensive about whether or not the Peak Hold feature would be on this scale. After all, manufacturers often change models without notice and can forget to update descriptions.Fortunately I needn't have worried, as pressing hold once enables this feature. The word 'Hold' appears in the display and (for isometric purposes) once I'd pulled my maximum and set the device down, the peak force was still displayed. This number remains until you once again press hold to reset the scale back to zero. For each attempt you have to press hold before pulling or pushing, for the peak hold feature to work. I'd prefer the peak hold feature to remain active once turned on and set, but it's a minor inconvenience.The build quality of the device is certainly good enough for my purposes. The case is made of metal and the buttons and display work as they should. In the box was also a long shackle with a hole in the bolt for a split pin and a slip through s-hook. I decided to use a pair of climbing carabiners instead for ease. The holes in either end of the scale that these go through are slightly smaller in diameter than on my other crane scale, but it wasn't a problem.Although I have no qualms about the build quality, I've decided to use this scale for once fortnightly or monthly strength testing. This is simply because being difficult to get hold of, I don't want to have to buy another (if I can even find another) down the road. It may hold up to repeated daily use just fine. I just don't know.So, for the isometric aficionados out there, yes, this works and works well. Would I buy another? I hope I never have to, but yes, most definitely.Notes for isometrics.Combine this crane scale with a long climbing daisy chain strap, a flat shoulder width wooden or iron bar to stand on and a bar to push or pull and most barbell exercises can be replicated. Climbing carabiners are optional, but very useful. Make or acquire a single handle and most dumbbell exercises can be measured and trained as well.I disassembled my older crane scale and turned the display around, so that I can see how much I'm pulling.It's an easy job, but requires a little care as the load plate wires are very thin. I can now test my maximum strength on the Klau crane scale and perform isometric holds at whatever percentage of max I want with my cheaper modified one. It's almost the perfect isometric exercise setup.

I have had a few over the years, from spring scales like the Pelouze, and other digital scales from parts known and unknown, expensive and inexpensive, with questionable accuracy and more questionable ruggedness. I use scales to measure draw weights on bows, and for various other hunting-fishing uses. They are occasionally dropped, and generally take some abuse along the way. This scale is substantial both in size and in build. It is also dead-on accurate for my uses, generally sub-100#. It will weigh up to 600# per the manufacturer. I am happy to find it for a reasonable price here on Amazon.

Great scale and does exactly what I want it too.Saved me $650 buying this scale.Thanks Guys

I use this on an overhead patient lift system to weigh my disabled daughter. It is nice to be able to weigh her at home instead of every few months at the doctors office. It is accurate to within a few tenths of a pound and easy to use. The manual says to not leave weight attached when not in use, so I leave it disconnected except for when I want to measure my daughter's weight.
