I bought the AWS 100g x 0.01g Digital Scale in January. It&#8217;s about the size of an iPhone and measures up to a limit of 100 grams in 0.01 gram increments.<\/p>\n<p>I also bought a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B002SVUBYE\/cooltools-20\">100 gram weight<\/a> ($7) to calibrate the scale.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I did was weigh some coins. A Nickel is supposed to have a mass of 5 grams (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefreshloaf.com\/node\/34229\/test-digital-scale-calibration-coins\">here&#8217;s a page that lists the mass of different coins<\/a>). All the Nickels I weighed had slightly different masses. Same with Pennies and Half Dollars.<\/p>\n<p>I also weighed Bicycle playing cards. Each card has a mass of about 1.75 grams. I weighed all 26 red cards: 45.51 grams. The black cards came in at 45.57 grams. The four Aces had a combined mass of 7 grams on the nose. Would the Tens weigh more, since they have more ink than the Aces? I measured them: 7.03 grams. I tried a different deck. Aces: 7.03 grams. Tens: 7.03 grams. (I&#8217;d love to weigh these cards on a 0.001 gram scale!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale2.jpg\" alt=\"scale2\" width=\"475\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale1.jpg\" alt=\"scale1\" width=\"475\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale4.jpg\" alt=\"scale4\" width=\"475\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale3.jpg\" alt=\"scale3\" width=\"475\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2015\/04\/scale5.jpg\" alt=\"scale5\" width=\"475\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small and inexpensive scale<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[26],"tags":[2308],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24096"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24104,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24096\/revisions\/24104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
