Today for review I’ve got one for the home and health or home and kitchen category, but I think it fits more into tools. The product is from Smart Weigh and it’s called the High Precision Digital Milligram Scale and it’s sort of what it sounds like, a scale, but it’s for tiny things that weigh well under an ounce. The scale is very sensitive, just your breath can affect the result and it even comes with a very nice carrying case. Read on to learn more…

The Review
Let’s start with a video unboxing and then move on:
The scale ships in a nice looking box with lots of information on it and a picture of the scale for you.
When you open the box you’ll be greeted with a very nice looking case with a metal badge on it with the Smart Weigh logo on it. The case is secured with a zipper and it’s semi-hard and should work well to protect the scale inside.
When you unzip the case you’ll find a mesh pocket on the lid with the user guide inside of it. In the bottom half of the case you’ll see the scale and accessories which are covered by a clear plastic cover. The bottom of the case is foam padded with sections to fit everything in.
Once you get everything out of the case you’ll find the user guide, two weights, tweezers and four batteries.
There are two 20g weights that are included to help you calibrate the scale. There’s also a pointed pair of tweezers included to help you pick up small things off the scale or put them on it.
The scale comes with a cover or lid that opens backwards but doesn’t come off. You need the lid, you must have the lid really, so that’s why it’s not easily removable.
On the front you’ll find the LCD display with four buttons for on/off, mode, tare and PCS.
On the bottom you’ll find the battery compartment where the included batteries go of course.
The use the scale you need to lift the lid to expose the metal tray.
The display is nice and bright and very easy to read.
The scale is calibrated from the factory but you never know what can happen during shipment when I checked it with the included 20 gram weight it was slightly off so I calibrated it.
The instructions for calibration are included, it’s essentially turn the scale on, hold the mode button until it says ‘cal’ and then it will say 20g, you add the weight, it will then say 40g, you add the second weight and you’re done.
I have some very small weights and I tested the scale and it is accurate but I learned it’s extremely sensitive and I mean just overly sensitive, but that’s why there is a cover to close. The scale can be and is affected by the slightest breeze and that includes your breathing near it. I was weighing the weights and the result wouldn’t stabilize and then I noticed if I turned my head it would, I figured out that it was my breath affecting the scale. I figured out that I would need to close the cover to get an accurate reading. Once I did that the scale worked perfectly fine.
Conclusion
The Smart Weigh scale is accurate but it takes some time to get accustomed to using it as it’s very sensitive, your breath can affect it.
The scale comes with a very nice and protective carrying case to keep the scale protected when not in use.
Smart Weigh includes two 20g weights to help you calibrate the scale as needed.
The scale is accurate from my testing, so no problems there.
Overall the scale is well made and it looks great, and it’s portable thanks to the carrying case.
All in all I like this scale, you can use it for all sorts of things around the house or on the job, it just depends what you need it for.
