Zebra Posted July 28 Share Anyone know of a better-priced alternative to Park Tool ds-1 scale, but with DOUBLE hook? Around R1600 for the (very nice) Park Tool hanging scale; Marko and others have fairly accurate hanging scales for just R300-600, most with a SINGLE hook; i could fabricate a kind of double hook, but keen to hear collective wisdom if there is a more-affordable double-hooked scale. a bit of research on accuracy shows me very little difference between high-end and budget. thanks, Chris Edited July 28 by Zebra Clarity.

Prince Albert Cycles Posted July 28 Share Hi Chris I have an extra Parktool scale I can only use 1 at a time . If interested in a used scale let me know. Arno 0833959038 Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted July 28 Share they are just fish scales with parktool branding on them. Seriously. go to the bait and tackle shop and buy a fish scale then some 4mm stainless rod bend to requirement and some 4mm fish tank tubing and bob's ya uncle DieselnDust, Dexter-morgan, Dusty and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted July 28 Share I purchased a Luggage/Fishing scale upto 50kg from Temu. Works well and accurate I have used it several times no issues for R75 I didn't expect much but i was surprised. Zebra and Milosh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted July 28 Share I’m also using a luggage scale. You could easily fabricate a 2 hook system Dexter-morgan and Zebra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebra Posted July 29 Share Appreciated, thanks - I believe i have found a park Tool scale a t VERY fair value (thanks, Prince Albert Cycles - past customer of mine, too!), so am now going that route. thanks all, hopefully now sorted!
