I was sent this scale to try out by Smart Weigh. This scale is GEM20(model) for measuring very fine materials. It comes in a very nice box to keep it in. The box has pre-fit areas for each piece sent. It has a felt covering inside the box to keep from scratching or destroying the scale. The scale has a lid to cover it when not in use if it is not kept in the box. It has its own tray and two, ten gram weights to zero the scale out. It has a nice back lit LCD screen that makes it extremely easy to read. This also came with a set of needle nose tweezers as well.
Now this is okay for most people because it can be used in many functions other then weighing metals and gems. For instance weighing letters to make sure you have the proper postage. For professionals this scale is not accurate enough to measure the milligram. I did a small test with 5 items. Each item I weighed 5 times each to make sure that it was reading each of them accurately and the same. Then I added them all to the unit at one time and the scale was off a bit on the weight of all 5 combined. It was accurate to the 1/100th place on the scale though, so back to my point that this is great for the everyday person. Next thing, make sure you read the instructions! there is a ton of useful information. Like having the scale on a surface free of vibrations because that can cause the scale to read inaccurate.
If you are in the market for a very useful weigh station this is a good product to check out. I would like to think Smart Weigh and affiliates for sending me this scale to test and leave my opinion.
