Before you consider your next purchase of a portable pocket scale, either for yourself or as a product for resale, consider some of following issues:

ALL small scales are advertised as being “PRECISION” instruments. But are they?

SINCE 1985, our firm has designed, patented, tooled and manufactured the ORIGINAL Calibrön Precision Twin Beam Scale. Ours was first scale of its type and price. We are flattered that so many competitors have sought to approximate, if not actually duplicate our design. Without going into the issue of patent infringement and intellectual property, it is yet interesting to note that our competitors have their “Calibrön Copies” produced in China, where neither legal issues are scrupulously observed. The Calibrön Precision Twim Beam Scale and the new Calibrön X are made here in the United States, as they have always been.

JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS THE SAME, doesn’t mean it works the same, or even nearly as well as the original, as you will see. Resellers should be aware that this fact is what may have eroded your customer's confidence in any of these various “Calibrön knock-offs”. Even the first and probably the best knock-off, Accura; has been dismissed as MATHEMATICALLY ERRORED in its engineering by the Independent Revue of statistician Dr. David W. Davenport (for more information click here).

Dr. Davenport reported a NON CORRECTIBLE mathematical flaw in the foreign made 'Accura', imported from China.

Who you gonna call when the public finds out that Zen-7 claims an accuracy of 1/100 gram, when the actual unit is lucky to register within 4 units? That's an error of almost 2 x1/100 in BOTH DIRECTIONS, or .392grams at the maximum load of 7 grams! These aren't our opinions, but Dr. David Davenport's independent published conclusions from his side by side examination of the Accura and the original Calibrön Scale.

Now that you know some of the less than inspiring facts about the wannabe imitations of the Calibrön scale, find out about the next generation of our twin beam scale... The Calibrön X! (click here for more reasons to MOVE UP TO THE CALIBRÖN X.)
