CPWplus Digital Compact Bench Scale accommodates a number of applications in the field, lab or warehouse, such as food processing, shipping and receiving, materials testing or veterinary use. The stainless steel platform is durable and easy to clean after weighing dirty or messy items. A hold function retains readings on the display once the item is removed from the scale, which is helpful in busy settings. The simple operation, AC and battery operation (batteries sold separately), and rugged construction all combine to make the CPWplus truly a great value.
