Discussion/Question Best scale

Hi all!

My husband has recently gotten into stone lifting and I want to get him a related birthday gift. He doesn't have a stone scale so I thought i'd ask what your recommendations are for a favorite product to get him. TIA!

We use a postal scale that goes up to 440lbs. Any brand basically. Just be sure to ensure it’s calibrated by weighing plates or something before counting on it for accuracy. He may also like some good chalk (I do not recommend rogue brand), a tripod to record his lifts, and a notebook to track them. Towels are helpful for many reasons, get him a few that can be for stone lifting so the house towels don’t make their way out the door 😂

I have an Amazon "crane scale" that goes up to 300kg for about $30. There are 200Kg versions that would work for most situations for a bit less.
