Scaling Back

With new airline packing restrictions and the onset of college travel season looming the digital luggage scale couldn’t appeal to a more desperate market.

I remember scavenging for a bathroom scale in an already deserted dorm last year and this year, for trips home, that may not be an issue.  The digital luggage scale is travel sized and simple to use.  By strapping the scale to any suitcase you can lift up to 100 lbs by the handle of the scale and get a digital reading when your weight lifting is through.  Since 100 lbs is definitely over all air line limits the scale limit itself shouldn’t be an issue.

With payments for everything from a single checked bag to in air headsets the last thing anyone wants is an extra charge for an overweight bag.  Traveling is stressful enough, not being fully prepared by the time you get to the check in counter is pure laziness.  Now it looks like even we space strapped college students will have a way to prepare our own bags.  At a mere $22 the scale’s potential “outweighs” any price tag.
