I'll look at my scale and see if I maxed it out. It's sounding likely.

Sometimes your "hand estimate" scale is better than a "real" scale! ;)

Weigh a gallon of water. It should weigh 8.35lbs. It'll give you an idea how accurate your scale is.

The scale I used is my Chinese made kitchen scale. It's digital, but I'm thinking the capacity is only 1.5 kg. So my arm guess of 5-6 lbs looks to be more accurate. I trust Lou's measurement.

Same results I found. The fancy one's right on one pound lighter than the mini I had on my HAMBster.

Still, a pound's a pound, and I bought it anyway ...... so on it'll go. The old mini'll hit the shelf for Toad back-up parts. :roll:
