How Much Does it Weigh? Balanzza Tells All

In some areas it's not uncommon to run across a propane seller who fills, not by volume, but by weight. The LP tank is scaled empty, then again when full, and the purchaser buys propane by the pound (or kilo, depending on your whereabouts). Some wonder if they can trust the scale. Or perhaps you're not sure how much LP you've left in your bottle, but have no way to weigh (Oy vey!).

With the appropriate equipment you can put to work on those thorny gas weight questions, or to ensure your luggage is within airline carrier weight limitations. But wait there's more! How about "the big one" that didn't get away? Your buddy's fish-stories can finally be put to rest, and all these other scaly issues too, with the help of the Balanzza digital luggage scale.

This handy device is in itself, lightweight--a great thing in these fuel conservative days--but isn't a lightweight when it comes to accurate reporting. Not much bigger than the palm of your hand, the Balanzza is easy to use. Simply slip the handy nylon strap through the propane tank yoke, snap the locking clasp, pick up the scale and tank. When you hear the beep, the weights displayed in either pounds or kilograms. A handy tare weight function also allows display of the actual contents weight without the need of mental calculations.

Powered by two AAA batteries, the Balanzza retails for $24.95, and can be purchased online at balanzza.com or locally in many Target stores. The device weighs up to 100 pounds or 44 kilos.
