With this mini portable luggage scale, you’ll always know exactly what you’re in for. It’s simple. Just attach the strap from a handle on your luggage, and when you lift the bag or suitcase with the handheld scales they will display the item’s weight. It has a weight capacity of up to 50kg and precision accuracy to within 100g.
The Tarriss Jetsetter digital scale comes with a lifetime warranty and promises a 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee.
