Precision scale for small items

The American Weigh EG-5001 is a digital pocket scale with a 500 g capacity and 0.01 g readability. It suits home cooks, jewellery makers and anyone who needs accurate weighing of light ingredients, supplements or small components.

Platform limits and unit options

The stainless-steel platform measures 4.9 in by 3.9 in, so only items that fit within that footprint can be weighed accurately. The scale displays grams, ounces, carats, pennyweights, troy ounces and grains, switching units with a single button press.

Power and surface requirements

Two AAA batteries are included and the auto-off function activates after 120 seconds of inactivity. The scale must rest on a stable, level surface; an uneven-surface indicator will warn if the reading may be affected.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 500 g model or the 3000 g version shown in the comparison table?

Pick the 500 g model if you need 0.01 g precision for spices, coffee or jewellery; the 3000 g version only reads to 0.1 g and is meant for larger portions.

What does the 0.01 g readability mean when I am weighing ingredients on the stainless-steel platform?

It means the display can show changes as small as one hundredth of a gram, so you can measure fine powders or expensive items with repeatable accuracy.

Which units does the scale support and how do I switch between them?

Press the M button to cycle through g, oz, ct, dwt, ozt and gn; the scale converts instantly without re-weighing.
