Worth its weight in gold
The scale was a bit pricey but Park puts out quality stuff so I know I will get my $$$$ out of it for many years. I needed a way to weigh a few bikes and parts and was going on a vacation with my wife where we planned on bringing back a lot of rum. I needed to weigh suitcases and that was enough of an excuse for me to justify the expense besides being a weight weenie. Weight is consistent over and over so far and I like that i can hang it from my rack to use it. I hang it off my jeep's hitch rack on rides to let people see that their $500 MTB bike doesn't weigh 21-lbs. That alone also made it worth the money. I would buy again, and have no problems with any of the Park products I own. I use it far more often than I thought I would. I weigh everything I can with it. Lets just say the cats went on a diet after getting this scale.

Good Scale!
Pluses:
The scale works reasonably well. It is easy to install on my bike stand, which is not made by Park Tools.
Drawbacks:
1) If your bike had a sloping top tube, it is hard to hang it from the scale, using the hooks.
The bike slides a bit, in spite of the "non-slip" sheathing on the hooks from which you hang the bike, when you weigh.
2) I bought this item under the assumption that "Park Tools, USA" meant that the item would be made in the USA, like some of the other "Park Tool, USA" items that I own.
Apparently, that is no longer the case! I believe this clearly reflected in the quality of the scale. I had to return the first one I got because the display was faulty -- would not display all digits. For instance, it would read " 7lb 05oz" instead of "37lb 05oz".
3) For a $50+ scale, I would expect the manufacturer would include the necessary batteries. Apparently, that is too much to ask!
Does the job
Nice display to read the weight and easy to press buttons. Not much you can say about this scale, it does the job it's suppose to do. Only thing I don't like about it is that it captures the weight quickly. If the bike is hanging of the hooks and swinging it can cause a slight fluctuation in weight as it swings side to side, I feel the scale doesn't allow enough time for the weight to settle to capture the measurement and can therefore give a reading that's slightly off, but not by much.
