Will it accurately weigh small things like items in my backpack?

It would accurately weigh something like a book, but I don't think it would weigh something like a paper clip.

It has a tare button, I assume that would clear any irregularities. It will weigh an item that's one tenth of an ounce, so no you don't have to do heavy stuff.

I have found it very accurate. I use it to weigh all my gear for backpacking and for that it's down to the ounce. I have tested others but this one is the one I'd recommend.

No it doesn't. It will display lbs in decimals so you can roughly work it out from that if needed. Wouldn't recommend if you needed precision at the level of ounces.

It weighs about a pound I would say, but I don't have a scale to accurately weigh it.

I can't say if it is that exact, for that you may need to invest in a higher grade scale; but for weighing food, it fits the bill!

Yes. If you push the on/off button while weighing, it will "hold" the reading. Hope that helps.

I tried weighing my bag with about 20 lbs of stuff last night, and it wouldn't register on the scale. So, I have a feeling there's a minimum that it will read. I'm not sure it'll be the best choice for weighing your luggage.

I just weigh total with Ipad mini 8 oz, my scale is not the most accurate ;)

I have checked it with 10lb weights and it did register correctly, the only issues I have is that with something heavier such as myself, it does not register the same weight consistently....

If I understand your question, my answer is yes. The scale will weight to the one tenth of a pound. However, it will not weigh something that is only one then of a pound, if that is what you are asking.

No, it only tells you the actual and accurate weight of the item being weighed. If an item weighed more than one ounce and less than two ounces, you would need to apply two stamps, etc.

I would not be able to do that... i bought this for my own personal use (in home I am by no means a professional)... it is quite accurate!!! It could measure in both lbs. and kg depending on your preference..

I'd agree with the other reviewers. It seems accurate within the .10 range although it will read out in the hundredths place after that. I've only had it differ by .1 from the USPS by that was for a 1-2 lbs item. My husband needs a scale that can measure the quantity of light items (like rubber bands) via weight and he needs a more accurate scale.

Yes, it measures t o .1 oz, and in grams. I have no way of judging accuracy, but I've mailed hundreds of packages and never had the USPS claim I was underweight or had used too little postage.

I haven't weighed it but I carry it in my day pack when I'm out and about and basically am not aware of it, weight-wise.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.
