### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It even accurately weighs the whole trailer!
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017*

I got the 5k version for our 20 ft. enclosed trailer (for a cross country move) so I could weigh the trailer to adjust an accurate tongue weight. We had a tongue separation a while back and DON'T want that to happen again: nice and balanced for and aft and side to side for a care free ride. Anyways I placed the scale on a floor jack and raised the trailer at a point forward of the front tire (it's a tandem) and from a point aft of the rear tire and averaged the two for an estimated weight directly between the two tires (couldn't get the jack in between the two tires), then repeated this on the other side and added the two average weights together. Then after weighing the weight at the tongue jack I added that weight to the previous two averaged measurements (five weighing's total) and came up with a total of 4,000 lbs. So, to make sure that worked/to arrive at an actual scale conversion factor, I took the trailer out and had it weighed on a truck scale and it came out to 3,980 lbs. for a conversion factor of .995 (3980/4000). And with that I can arrive at a pretty accurate weight later on after it's filled with stuff. But, it came out so close, I won't even need the conversion factor. I also compared the tongue weight with this scale and the tongue weight obtained with the bathroom scale and levers method and they came out pretty close. It's a really nice simple, accurate devise that works off of hydraulic principles and you can simply swap to a lower scaled gage if you have a lite tongue to be even more accurate. A really GREAT tool for a tail dragger to have on hand.

    A must have if you're towing.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024*

I bought this because I was curious about my tongue weight on my trailer. I was shocked to find that I was 800lbs over on the allowed tongue weight for my hitch. With this scale I was able to readjust my load and get it where it needed to be. Great product. I'm impressed with the quality.

    Know what the tongue weight of your trailer really is.
  

*by T***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017*

Know what the tongue weight of your trailer really is so that you can set it up properly.  People usually look at the Average Dry Weight that the mfg lists and it's always wrong.  I think all RV sales people are former politicians..........  This is small and simple to use.  The easiest way is to put a stout block of wood across a floor jack, put the scale on top of it and raise it up so the post goes inside of the ball hitch.  Look at the scale and there's your tongue weight.The mfg said my dry tongue weight was 800 to 850#.  The scale says 1,050# and I believe the scale after towing the trailer.  If you're towing with a 1/2T truck or a SUV it's very easy to exceed your hitch weight limits.  And, on mine, I'm going to add two more batteries on the tongue for a total of four plus four solar panels on the top front of the trailer - you need to know what your true tongue weight is.
