I have a question about...
GENERAL
Q: I see products listed that say "10,000lb x 10lbs", what does this mean?
A: This is how most of the scales are listed. The 10,000lbs is the maximum capacity that the scale will weigh. The 10lbs is the increments or accuracy that the scale shows. For example, if you weigh something the least amount the scale will show is 10lbs, then 20lb, then 30lb, etc. all the way up till the maximum weight of 10,000lbs.
