Old Will Knott Scales
« on: March 02, 2015, 09:23:51 AM »
I was searching for a digital scale. At first I thought I'd go cheapo harbor Freight. A Google search turned up a forum recommending Old Will Knott Scales. A further search turned up OWKS itself. Quite a selection. I settled on the Jennings CJ600. (600g max, other languages and several decimal places each.)  $35 + weights to calibrate 14.75 + S&H = $50. Seems lke a nice piece. No pressing need, just to satisfy curiosity.

Pretty fun!   :D

IT has a counting feature where you weigh 1 screw, then pour a bunch of screws in bowl and it tells you how many you have.
