Will this scale work for small items in my backpack, like spoons, clothing, cups and so on?

I was able to weight several size kitchen whisks and and articles of clothing down to 1oz. I also measured two packaged products a 1oz each and got a 2oz result in weighting both. it seems fairly accurate.

Yes!Perfectly!!I weighed a clip for my horses hay net and it does weigh small and medium and large items very well!You will love this scale�

Yes, it will work. I just tested it on some small kitchen items like spoons/measuring cups and I am able to get a reading as small as 0.1 pounds

I'm using mine in Rigging class to measure weights varying from 1lb to 6lbs. It's pretty accurate for my application. I don't know about anything less than a pound.

It is sensitive and will change with small amounts of added weight like spoons and clothing. If you are packing for long movements and trying to stay light this with work well.

not sure about a spoon or a single shirt. I would trust this scale with anything over one or two pounds.

That is what scales do.....measure weight. This is a scale, so yes, it measures weight as well as other measurable factors. This would be like asking if scissors cut or a toothbrush brushes teeth. :)

It will measure liquids but liquids are better measured with a liquid measuring cup than by weight. It is accurate enough for cooking and meal planning. I have had my scale for 2 years and I have never had a problem. I am not sure what you mean by "is it resistant." If you are asking how well it holds up, I would say very well. I have even carried it around in my bag for a few weeks and it still worked great.

YES! The company sells this scale with an adapter and adapters are available if you bought one without the adapter.

Probably not. I wouldn't use them for commerce. Sometimes it's just handy to know how much something weighs or how much force it takes to move something. I got mine to measure the force required to move the rails in a switch in a scale model railroad. For that it worked fine. Not easy to find a scale that will measure horizontal force.

It has four little rubber feet so as long as they all touch it should work fine. I wanted a scale that would work on carpet and this one has no moving parts for about one inch off the floor so it does just fine on carpet. If the floor is especially rough as in, say, rustic tile, then I'd use a pad or flat board under it to make sure all the feet touch. The scale base is pretty ridgid but somewhere up around 250/300 pounds you might be able to get it to flex a little. Good choice for odd circumstances tho----

The answer is yes, but it's designed for precise measurements at a lower weight and to be portable. I'd consider something more robust unless you need to weigh single servings of rice and sugar on the go.

I found that the scale was not entirely accurate. I do think that it has to do with the fact that my foot is bigger than the platform of the scale. However, you can work with it, and if you are using it for travel, it will at least give you an idea of where you stand. If you want an accurate scale, get something that is bigger.

Yes, when I put my stainless steel bowl on it to hold items. It is very easy though, just push the button, it calibrates. It is a nice, small kitchen scale. I have enjoyed mine, keep it in a pot holder that has a pocket, in a drawer in the kitchen.

Yes, but there are better ways to simply use a digital scale. Cheaper and smaller.

I ran several different size envelopes and letters through the scale before responding to this question and YES it will. I was able to weigh down to 1 sheet of paper!

Yes, I use a postal scale for up to 5 lbs. I use this for large weights. I works great!

Not really. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Its a great scale overall though.

That depends on how you define "large". The top of the scale is about 8" square and the readout is a separate module connected by a coiled cord. This will permit the item being weighed to hang over the edges, so one can weigh an item larger than the scale. This will work so long as one can balance the parcel or box on the scale, and the parcel doesn't sag enough to touch something other than the scale.

I'm sure it can. This scale is highly accurate, the only limitation would be the maximum capacity for the scale which is 11lbs. Package size may also be a limitation as it is rather small and may limit visibility to the display. I have trouble with it while trying to use a plate to weigh my food, so imagine using it for a package.

If I understand your question, my answer is yes. The scale will weight to the one tenth of a pound. However, it will not weigh something that is only one then of a pound, if that is what you are asking.

Not really. You have to use a VERY LIGHT container or it kind of messes with the accuracy. The scale actually comes with a clear plastic cover that works very well as a weigh container...
