Avoid charges for overweight luggage ! Any luggage over 50 pounds on US Airlines is subject to a charge .Simply clip this scale to the handle of a suitcase or bag-lift the bag with the handle shaped scale until it beeps-you have the weight of your bag appear in the large LCD on the scale-as simple as that. Push a button and the scale resets to zero for the next bag. The scale is compact and light weight so you can take it along for the return journey-I swear that travel dirt gets heavier every year.

Works great and pretty accurate:

Lighter bags that I could hold consistently in same position resulted in same weights in multiple tries. But, I think even with the small variance while weighing it serves the purpose. The battery that came with the scale was pretty... more info
Accurate and easy to use:
This is easy to use. We had another one that hung on the doorknob that we just couldn't get to work and was not accurate.

We weighed two bags in our hotel room, then brought them to the hotel lobby for airline check in. The weight on their scale was identical! Snap it on the handle, push the button, lift the luggage, wait for the beep, set the luggage down,... more info
Accurate:
This item is very simple to use and very accurate. Weighted all my suit cases before leaving and at the Airport scales each one weighted in at the whole pound value. Am very pleased with this item and recommend it highly. Amazons delivery time was excellent as always.
A must have for every traveler today:
This is a very accurate, lightweight, and easy-to-use scale at an affordable price. These days, keeping the weight of each luggage piece under 50 lbs will save you tons of money, not to mention the time and frustration at the airport if you find yourself having to repack your bags and/or cram heavy items in your carry on if you go over. Contrary to what one reviewer wrote, the scale may not be designed for two hands, but you can use it very easily with two hands. I just loop 3 fingers from each... more info
