What do you use and have you calibrated it?

I use a cheapo Berkley digital scale from Walmart. The first one I got fried out soon after I got it, from humidity I think, but the replacement is still going strong. I just checked it against a Salter digital kitchen scale using a couple of weights from an adjustable dumbbell set.

....Salter...............Berkley
2 lbs 7-3/4 oz......2 lbs 7 oz
4 lbs 15-1/4 oz....4 lbs 14 oz

Assuming that the Salter is more accurate, the Berkley runs a little light.

I use a Rapala digital scale. It seems pretty accurate compared against a calibrated mail meter we use at work.
