Portable Digital Scale - Balanzza Easily Weighs Luggage (GALLERY)

Balanzza’s new portable, digital luggage scale just might keep Santa from over-packing this holiday season. Many a traveler has arrived at the airline ticket counter only to learn their bags are too heavy. Paying overweight baggage fees is never a pleasant way to start a trip.

The Balanzza scale straps on to your luggage. In three easy steps you get a digital read-out of your bag’s weight in pounds or kilograms. All you do is lift, wait for the beep, put the bag down and read the display. The scale reads up to 100 pounds/44 kg. It costs less than $25.

Not so long ago, we featured the luggage with a built in scale. The concept was great too, but restricted the practicality to that particular bag. The affordable gadget from Balanzza, on the other hand, lets anyone pack and plan with ease. Some might prefer the all in one though. Check it out:
