Hot take: dropped $850 on a used remote crane scale last spring, and I still cant decide if it was the best or dumbest buy of my career

Bought a used one for $600 about three years ago and it paid for itself in the first month just from not having to guess on scrap loads. The trick for me was keeping it on a dedicated chain rig so it was always ready to go, because the times I left it in the truck it just sat there. What made it worth it was weighing stuff before it hit the trailer, saved me from a few overweight tickets that would have cost way more than the scale. The dumb part came when I started weighing everything just because I could, burned a whole afternoon on that once. Bottom line is the tool only pays off if you actually build it into your routine, otherwise it turns into an $850 paperweight. Give it a real spot in your setup for a month and you will know pretty quick which one it was.
