    very sturdy nifty product. handy for spreading the weight in suitcases to avoid the fees and charges for overweight bags.


    anyhow seemed a good cheap deal to me.

    Save yourself the hassle. All you need is a standard weighing scales. Step up on it, read your weight. Then pick up your bag or suitcase and take away the difference.

    we were trying that and our electronic scales were a pain in the ass to get the suitcase on it, plus if we buy things abroad were never sure of the weight as the hotel mightnt have a scales..

    Thanks, will order one. I had one of the cheapo ones from the €2 shop but it broke. This looks a bit more sturdier

    +1 for these scales

    Saved us a load of pain on holidays this year as we flew Ryanair. Got all our bags exactly the same weight and within 0.2kg of the 15kg limit

    Useful, accurate. lightweight & portable. Similar scales in Argos are €30

    Got one a few months back (though mine is silver, not sky blue :))

    Was perfect for weighing the camera gear when myself and the wife were going to Berlin. The weight of that stuff is unreal! Ended up leaving half of it behind. Carrying it all around would've killed me so just as well!

    Also seriously handy if you sell a fair bit on Adverts but need to post everything (The joys of living in Leitrim! :D)

    You can buy these in the 2 euro shop - we used one on a recent holiday - they were completely accurate

    These things are fantastic, I bought one before my last holiday and found the happy side benefit of being able to provide accurate postage costs when selling on adverts :)

    EDIT - lol, didn't see that hubby had already replied saying pretty much the same thing :)
