Quick take
A compact 1.7 ounce digital scale with backlit display, rechargeable battery, lip gripper and retractable tape measure.
This two-piece kit pairs a handheld digital suspension scale with a no-puncture lip gripper that carries a detachable 1.2 m retractable measuring tape. The scale reads in pounds and ounces or kilograms, tops out at 55 lb, locks its reading after a couple of seconds and stores three weights in memory. It charges over USB-C, has a backlit LCD, and at 1.7 ounces it fits easily in a tackle bag for anglers who want to weigh and measure a catch before release.
