You paid at least $35 for it to sport the Cuisinart logo, meanwhile
both are from the same manufacturer in China.

I think of Northern Tool as the same quality as Harbor Freight. Any reason
to suppose Northern Tool is better?

Any reason to shoot the messenger, or do low prices generally offend you?

That's a question from someone who knows nothing about tools and is
simply trying to start an argument. They're both equally good.
Depends on the particular product... I've purchased top of the line
brand name tools from both, like Milwaukee drill bits, and the only
determinant is the lowest price, quality is the same regardless where
purchased. Sometimes all one wants is a low end tool for occasional
or one time use, they both sell those too. Recently I bought a set of
Milwaukee spade drills from Northern Tool, everywhere else including
Harbor Freight and at Amazon it was $10 dollars more. Those drill
bits are fantastic, they can drill full 12" depth through hard oak all
day and stay sharp as new... can't beat these at that price:
http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...7816_200357816
Northern Tool sells many professional grade tools at great prices as
well as their house brand tools that are very satisfactory for the
occasional user and at very good bargain brand prices... they have
Wilton pro quality bench vises for hundreds of dollars or house brand
bench vices for tens of dollars, your needs/wallet's choice. The
thing I like about Northern Tool is their service and policies, if
within 30 days you find a product at a lower price or they have a sale
at a lower price they will happily meet that price. Recently I bought
an animal trap and a few days later they had it on sale for $20 less
(saw the sale price in an email ad), they were glad to credit my Visa.
BTW, their trap is far better in every respect than Hav-A-Hart, and
costs a whole lot less. When you phone Have-A-Hart customer service
to buy a replacement part you are shit out of luck and they are very
rude. Northern Tool customer service is very knowlegeable and bends
over backwards to help... they are very old fashioned in that their
policy is the customer is always right. Northern Tool wants to keep
their customers, in fact on a few occasions when they didn't sell
something I wanted they recommended some other company that does. They
ship quickly and most times shipping has been free.

Does it do 10 lbs?

Typically, scales trade off preceision for range.

One half ounce to ten pounds is a good range for the kitchen. Finer
precision typically reduces the range. You can buy scales that do
0.01 ounce and will also weigh over 10 lbs, but bring $$$$.

Had you bothered to click on the link you'd know that the upper limit
is 11 pounds.

No one is claiming less than 1 gram. There exist kitchen scales that
do weigh 1/2 grams but I can't see any use for a kitchen scale that
weighs less than 1 gram... actually 5 grams is plenty small enough for
a kitchen scale.
1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams or 1 gram = 1/28.3495231 of an ounce... 1
gram is probably more table salt than the average person sprinkles on
an egg. A gram is avery small amount of any food, one saltine cracker
weighs 3 grams. No one needs a kitchen scale that weighs 1 gram
unless they're a crack dealer.

I have a nice scale that is calibrated to weigh the usual numbers
accurately. Go between them and it's a crap shoot. When I'm dividing
dough into equal pieces by weight, I can weigh one, weigh more, go
back to the first and the weight is significantly different.

No one weighs dried herbs/spices unless they're cooking for the

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

Make sure the scale is sitting away from any joint in the surface of
your counter top. I had your problem until I realised that the formica
had distorted the substrate near the joins. I now check mine with a
couple of old Canadian dollar coins (looneys) that weigh 7 grams. The
new ones are lighter.

Naturally any scale should be placed on a level stable surface... and
electronic scales are easy to zero out, no looneys required... place
on a level stable surface and hit the tare.

The manual's specs are meaningless. It says 1 gram, .01 ounce, and .001
pound.

1 pound is ~454 grams; 1 ounce is ~28 grams. So the claimed resolution
fof .001 pound is roughly twice the 1 gram claim; the claimed resolution
of .01 ounce is roughly four times the 1 gram claim. Since the 1 gram
claim is emblazoned on the machine, I'd tend to believe that.

Those claimed resolutions simply tell you what the software is
interpreting the low-order bits of the analog-to-digital converter.

In any event, as any freshman science student can tell you, all of those
claimed resolutions are absolutely meaningless without knowing the
corresponding repeatability.

IOW, having one gram resolution doesn't mean much if three successive
weighings of the same item are, say, 101 grams, 107 grams, and 115 grams.

I've had these scales for a couple of years now:
http://tinyurl.com/k68ezyb

They do 0.1g to 10KG (plus imperial of course) and I have found them
to be quite accurate at either end of the weight scale.

you may be right, but you are only guessing.

and none of the ounce or pounds resolutions equal 0.1 gram.

That is cold, hard, indisputable fact.

BTW, if you want credentials, I spent most of my working life designing
real-time measurement systems for manufacturing processes at RCA's
Sarnoff Research Center Western Electric Engineering Research Center,
and MITRE Corporation. I'm not guessing on this one.

"having one gram resolution doesn't mean much if three successive
weighings of the same item are, say, 101 grams, 107 grams, and 115 grams"

Key word: IF. That means you are guessing.

Avoirdupois is not "Imperial." "Imperial" refers to liquid measure.
A pound is a pound is a pound, unless you're weighing out precious
metals.

The Imperial gallon is 6/5 of a US gallon; an Imperial pint is 20
Imperial ounces (each slightly smaller than a US fluid ounce) and
an Imperial quart is 40 Imp. fl. oz.

Thanks, but it sits on a granite slab. It seems to be calibrated to
weigh knows accurately and anything in between is a crap shoot.

Not here it doesnt. We are an ex-imperial nation, now gone metric
(obviously), so it appears 'imperial' means different things depending
where you are. Here, imperial standard can refer to tool sizes,
weights, distances, etc.

Ounces are certainly different for precious metals.

What? The scale goes dead at 10 lbs and then suddenly re-energizes at
11 lbs?

Geez, can't anyone, here, answer a simple question w/o being all nasty
and confrontational. Seems like rfc has devolved into a one big ol'
hurt-fest.

Lighten up, ppl.
