This unit is simple to use. Yes, you can lock the weight - just hold down the rightmost button (Tare).
Changing the units of measure is done with the leftmost button. The middle button is the on and off switch.
I will be using this unit for fishing and for calibrating my tennis stringing machine.

One nice feature is the metal hook can be clipped flush with the back. A small depressed area accepts the hook to make the unit easier to store.

I'm no fisherman, but this little thing fills the gap between a postal scale handling a few ounces and the bathroom scale, intended for people. It seems to be quite accurate enough for posting packages, etc. It should be noted that the price is more than reasonable.
Oh ... it should also be noted that "hanging" does NOT have a double "g". LOL

I purchased 4 of these scales, 2, 1 for each of my tackle boxes, and 2 for friends. I purchased them for $4.57,on-line, shipping included, directly from hong kong. Save your self some money.
Accuracy is great, plus/minus .o2 Oz against a certified butcher scale.

First, the positive points: this scale is compact compared to other "luggage scales", and the price is more reasonable than most other electronic scales.

However the negatives are:
1) It does not lock in the weight of the item so that you can unhook and hold the device up to read the weight, one must lift the scale up to eye level with luggage attached in order to read, which brings us to:
2) The strap / handle is very thin, it galls the fingers with anything over 5 lbs attached.
3) The hook is much too small to fit most luggage handles, may be good for fish, but one must figure out a work around depending on your luggage design, or resort to shoe laces to fashion a sling for your luggage handle.
3) Construction is flimsy, the old adage "you get what you pay for" ... in this case I got less.

I have been using a dial type scale from Magellan Travel with good results, it corrects all the flaws in the above, a bit more bulky, but has an added advantage - no batteries required, currently $9.85.

This little gadget is very compact and has excellent accuracy and resolution. My only criticism is that it does not have peak hold.

this is a very accurate and compact strain guage scale. strap works perfectly for me to hang on hook or nail and weigh road bicycle for modifying components for weight optimization.

Although I have not checked this scale against a standard weighted item I feel it's accurate enought for most peoples uses. I use if for weighing luggage or my day packs for hiking, some things to compare for adding to my bike and for those it's great. I like the compact nature, nice sized digital read out and the way the hook snaps up into the back of the unit. Nice digital scale and for this price a bargin. Don't buy one of those exepensive luggage scales get this one. This keeps you from exceeding the luggage weights and avoid the outrangeous overweight charges they impose.

I weighed two unknown weights a total of 5 times each. The readings for each weight were .02 pounds difference from highest to lowest. Might not work for pharmaceuticals, but plenty close enough for anything I need and it is small with no annoying T-handle. The hook would be a bit small for most luggage handles. I couldn't find anything better at two sporting goods stores and two other major retail stores.

This was an inexpensive hanging scale with a 40 KG capacity, yet which reads in tenths of an ounce. I can read in kg, lb, JIN (whatever that is),or ounces. I use it to weigh my radio control airplanes, as well as measuring static thrust of the airplanes, to test engine performance (i.e. use as a force gauge). It seems to read quickly and reproducibly. I'm sure it would make a great scale for fishing or weighing anything else that you could hang on it. Also has a tare function, so you can add weights to get the difference. Highly recommend.

Still works great after 1 year of service weighing out grain for beer making. When the battery began to die, operation became erratic. It appeared to be broken. Battery replacement fixed it. It still irritates me that all these devices feel a need to shut themselves off after a period of time - a real problem when your adding different ingredients to a bucket.
