It could not be ... when it is suffering always to take the scales in order to avoid that one experiences an expensive surprise for excess baggage at the airport, then this is the right hand scale. The balance can be quickly put into operation, it is strap around the suitcase handle Laying Hook and lift. Already know whether something can or with but must be something out of a suitcase out. I had Approximately 0.5 kg difference to the scales at the airport, ie the hand scales showed less than on the scale at the check-in, but that was fortunately not critical. The scale itself is small enough to be able to also take, but after watching never purchases so a lot of traveling, this has no need for me so far.
