Product review
This digital hanging scale arrives ready to work with two AAA batteries installed and the heavy-duty S-shaped hook fitted with a locking clip. The unit is rated for up to 400 kilograms / 880 pounds and can display weights in pounds, kilograms or Newtons via the Unit button.
The housing pairs a corrosion-resistant stainless component in the load path with a molded body for the electronics. The backlit, large LCD gives clear readouts day or night and the Hold function freezes a reading for easy recording; a tare/key-zero option lets you subtract container weight. The design emphasizes portability and field use — compact enough to carry on trips yet built to lift large catches, game, luggage or farm loads.
Operation is straightforward: attach the load to the hook, switch units if needed, and use the hold or tare as required. The scale is commonly used for weighing fish and game, checking baggage, monitoring harvest yields, portioning meat at home, and general heavy-duty weighing tasks while camping, traveling or working outdoors.
Pros
- High 400 kg / 880 lb capacity
- Clear backlit display with hold and tare
- Stainless hardware and heavy-duty S-hook
Cons
- No official water-resistance rating
- No factory calibration certificate included
- No storage case provided
VerdictA rugged, high-capacity hanging scale that delivers straightforward, repeatable readings for heavy loads. It pairs a stainless hardware set and clear backlit display with simple controls (unit, tare, hold), making it useful for fishing, hunting, luggage checks and farm tasks. Lacks a water-resistance rating and professional calibration, but offers strong build and convenient portability with inclu

whatever 5/5
Solid hardware, basic electronics
Very strong clevis and hook hardware. The plastic body is adequate but not indestructible. There’s no built-in calibration routine provided, so you won’t know the lab-grade accuracy. It’s worked fine up to ~300 lb for me. I do wish it had a peak-hold mode and any formal water resistance.

Dependable on fishing trips
Took this on a fishing outing and it gave trustworthy weights for larger catches, which made sorting our haul easy. The stainless components feel tough and the screen is bright outdoors. The orange finish is conspicuous, which helps in the field. Overall a reliable piece of gear for heavy loads.

Good initial performance for hunting season
Picked this up for hunting season and initial checks look promising. It’s solidly made and held up to shop tests against known weights. Unit selection and the hold function work as expected. The S-hook and locking clip, plus the screw-pin U-bolt, give confidence when lifting game or gear.

Ana 5/5
Tough, high-capacity work tool
A solid performer — the 400 kg capacity has handled engine parts and large game without issue. The stainless load path feels rugged, the backlit digits are easy to read, the hold feature locks readings reliably, and switching between lbs, kgs and Newtons is effortless. Portable enough to bring on trips yet built for heavy-duty tasks.

Mark Massingill 5/5
Well packaged and consistent readings
Arrived neatly packed with batteries installed. The battery cover is tool-free yet secure. The hanging hardware feels robust. In a quick comparison this gave the same personal weight as my doctor's scale, so it appears accurate and well-built overall.

Sturdy hooks and simple controls
This handheld crane scale has proven reliable. The steel hooks are beefy and setup was straightforward. It included two AAA batteries and matched my home scale within about a pound on a ~37 lb bag. Buttons for power, hold, unit and tare are intuitive, and the manual is helpful. I’d like a carrying pouch, but otherwise it’s a durable unit.

always skeptical 5/5
Rugged build, reasonable accuracy
Good value for a heavy-duty scale with stout hardware. It auto-tares at power-up, and is accurate within a few pounds — fine for most field uses. I checked it with a 50 lb dumbbell. Powered by two AAA batteries (included) and the display stays bright outdoors.

M. Knutson 5/5
Accurate enough for luggage checks
I bought this mainly to weigh suitcases for small-airline limits. Those limits fall near the lower end of the range, so I tested it with calibrated weights up to about 20 kg — readings stayed within roughly 1%. Assembly was simple. One tiny annoyance: the D-ring pin had a pre-bent retainer, apparently to avoid loss, which I didn’t love but it functions fine.
