Product description
The AWS Hand Scale is an old-school mechanical hanging scale from American Weigh Scales, built for guests who want a simple, battery-free way to weigh small items on the go. It weighs up to 100 grams in 1 gram steps, hangs items from a small clip, and reads with an arrow indicator instead of a screen. Hosts at any of our El Paso Smoke Shops can show it to you at the counter.
How the mechanical hanging scale works
You hang your item from the small clip, hold the hand ring, and read the weight where the arrow lands on the printed scale. There is nothing to turn on and no display to charge. It weighs up to 100 grams (about 4 ounces) in 1 gram divisions, so it is best for light, small items rather than heavy loads.
Built to travel
The Hand Scale is made of durable metal, measures about 4.6 by 2.1 inches, and slips into a pocket or bag with the included protective pouch. Because it runs with no batteries, it keeps working when a digital scale would be dead. That makes it a handy backup or travel piece.
For a cheap, dependable, battery-free way to weigh small items up to 100 grams, the AWS Hand Scale is hard to beat. Check current stock at your nearest El Paso Smoke Shops location and pick one up in store.

Questions & Answers
How much is the AWS Hand Scale in El Paso?
The AWS Hand Scale is $5.99 at El Paso Smoke Shops. It is in-store pickup only, so check stock at your nearest location and pick one up at the counter.
What is the capacity and readability of the AWS Hand Scale?
It weighs up to 100 grams, about 4 ounces, in 1 gram steps. It is meant for small, light items, not heavy loads, so keep totals under the 100 gram limit.
What units does the Hand Scale weigh in?
Two units, grams and ounces. You read the weight where the arrow points on the printed scale, so there are no modes to press or menus to scroll.
Does the AWS Hand Scale need batteries?
No. It is a fully mechanical hanging scale, so it needs no batteries and no charging. That makes it a reliable travel piece or backup when a digital scale dies.
Does the Hand Scale need calibration or a calibration weight?
No. Because it is a mechanical arrow-indicator scale, there is no digital calibration step and no calibration weight involved. You hang the item and read the mark.
How does the hanging mechanism work?
You clip your item to the small hook, hold the hand ring for a steady grip, and let it hang. The arrow settles on the printed grams and ounces scale to show the weight.
Is the AWS Hand Scale portable?
Yes. It is slim, roughly 4.6 by 2.1 inches, made of metal, and comes with a protective pouch, so it drops into a pocket or bag for travel.

Where can I buy the AWS Hand Scale in El Paso?
At El Paso Smoke Shops. We have 10 El Paso locations, so check store stock for the Hand Scale and pick one up in store. Pickup only, no shipping.
How does the Hand Scale (AMWHAND) compare to other scales, and what is it best for?
The Hand Scale (AMWHAND) reads 1 g divisions up to 100 g (about 4 oz), which makes it best for everyday kitchen and food weighing, mail, and larger items, rather than tiny sub-gram amounts. In short, it is built for capacity over fine resolution, so a 0.01 g pocket scale is the better pick for jewelry. Match the scale's readability to the smallest amount you plan to weigh.
This is a general-purpose precision scale for lawful weighing only. You must be 18 or older to buy one, and we check a valid photo ID at the counter at any of our 10 El Paso locations. In-store pickup only.
