I have been for years a G & G precision balance, with which I am very happy - so I slammed on the manufacturer again. A luggage scale we miss here twice a year - once after packing for the holidays and even on vacation after packing including souvenir for the flight home :-). In a pinch you can put the suitcases safely on a personal scale, but that's really annoying. So bought this handy and easy part of all small coal. After unpacking, I was indeed taken aback and somewhat insecure because the plastic thing does not make a very strong impression, but this is deceptive. Works flawlessly, weighs a suitcase or bag with Henkel easily. Keep bit quiet, then you know directly whether the weight is in the ballpark. For the few Euro we now have a means, which are my clammy hands on the airport scale than worth. Strong buy recommendation - small coal, perfect function.
