I kind of expected a little more. The product description mentions that you can put the luggage down and still be able to read the weight but that is not true with the model I received.

I don't know if it's broken or there's a secret clip somewhere (instructions are poor) but the fact is, as soon as you touch the ground with whatever it is you're weighting, measurement is gone.

If you have a big suitcase, it's a little complicated to hold it and bend to look at the dial. Measurement needles trembles a little, so it will give you a pretty good idea of how much weight you have but will not be precise. If you need absolute precision, go with a better, maybe digital model.

This is a great idea and will prove very useful. However, be forewarned that the automatic weight marker is very clumsy and difficult to crank back to "0" after you have finished. The crank dial is hard to use. It should be easier to reset. Otherwise an excellent item for any regular airplane traveler in this day and age of limited luggage and weights.

I purchased the Lewis N. Clark Luggage Scale just before I took my family to Orlando, Florida for our April school vacation. It worked wonderfully. In these days of revised baggage rules and expanded costs for overweight luggage, just the peace of mind that this product gave me was fantastic! I will never travel without it again.

One of the hands on the dial broke on being used for the first time.

This handy little scale was a life saver! No more extra charges at the airport! This product is excellent!

Can't wait to use this product this fall. Tried it a couple of times with other things!!! Works great!!!Lewis N. Clark Luggage Scale

I'm serving on active duty in the United States Army and we occasionally go on road marches with our rucksacks on our backs. Often, the Soldiers are instructed to pack their rucksack to a certain weight and the only way a supervisor can inspect and verify his Soldiers aren't cheating the system is by picking it up with his hands and guesstimating. Even if the supervisor is experienced, his guess will still be off. Now I have a tool I can bring with me to ruck march's to verify my Soldiers aren't cheating the system and packing a few pounds less than what they were told to pack.

Fortunately, I was able to get this scale in time for my trip. I say fortunately because another scale (from a different company)didn't work. This scale isn't digital or fancy, but it works and and is sturdy enough to last for years. This scale saved me money with the airlines and their revenue making policies with luggage. If I had bought this scale first - it would have saved me even more money.

I actually use this in my high school science class to demonstrate force, as opposed to weighing luggage. I like it because the gauge is marked in newtons as well as pounds, and the handy, hidden tape rule is marked in both centimeters and inches.

This is so easy to use and works fantastic.

It has saved us a lot of money so far because of the strict airline weight limits set on bags and we have never had one over weight using this scale.
