A few words of wisdom regarding counting scales.  Don't buy a counting scale with too much maximum capacity.  For example, if 3/4 of the time you will be counting no more than 10 lbs of parts at a time, a 10 lb. capacity counting scale is the ideal choice as opposed to a 50 lb. capacity scale since you may be sacrificing resolution so you can have a larger capacity. Too many times, consumers see the large capacity and think they may need that in the future or they need it to count the couple of larger items that they have. If you think you may need to weigh and count larger items in the future, just make sure you buy a counting scale with a remote scale option available. Examples include the Digi DC-788, Cardinal 2240, & Pennsylvania 7600 counter. Then when the time comes you can add a bench scale platform or even a 4’x4’ floor scale. That way you can weigh / count large and small amounts.
