220 lbs Electronic Refrigerant Charging Digital Weight Scale with Case for HVAC | eBay




Anyways, the question to the old Pros..
Will this scale be good enough for a DIYer who uses it a few time per year?

PS: This scale would be used with the stuff on http://ecorenovator.org/forum/sale-t...y-machine.html



Thanks for any comments..
How did your scale turn out ?

I ordered one from EBay that looks like the one you pictured .

Hope to receive it in a few days .

Best wishes to all of you and yhose dear to you ,

God bless

One thing that I just knew was going to be a problem, was the display time-out.
But, after using it for a while, I found that just pressing the Unit button,
would turn the display back on, with no loss of the reading.
The current weight stays, even when the display goes to sleep..
It's a great scale. I've used it to test the accuracy of other scales..
