Refill Station

Hey guys, I just bought a new NOS refill station from a member on here. I still need to get a digital scale however.

What are you guys out there using for scales?

They gave it to us for free because we ship a lot with them. Its nice because I weigh the bottle, determine how much it needs, hook up the line to the big cylinder and zero the scale and hit the valves. That way if the bottle only needs 7 pounds I can zero it and fill it and stop it @ 7 pounds. Makes charging my friends easier.

I use two scales, the one that came with my refill station and also a $40 digital one from sam wholesale. I prefer the one from sam's. It even has a wireless read out.
