Great Travel Gadget. Part 1.

Travelon Portable Luggage Scale, $9.95

I am a fan of Travelon’s old-school analog model.

At 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ x 3″ when unextended, the device from top to bottom is a handle attached to a 75 pound capacity scale with a metal hook. Slip your bag’s handle onto the hook, hold the handle up and out, and get a reading. That’s it. The spool casing also contains a tape measure.

Try our excellent local luggage store that sells online:
Rooten’s Luggage Center

On their site, the scale is at:
