You're at the airline check-in counter, heading home after a week of pina coladas, sarongs and souvenir snow globes...only to find out that nothing makes a bright-eyed and smiling airline worker go from a sickly sweet "How may I help you today?" to a stoney-faced "those are the rules" quicker than overweight luggage!

This wouldn't have happened if you had a set of Digital Luggage Scales!

If your luggage is over the accepted limit, your wallet will be whacked with a hefty excess baggage fee – and short of literally airing your dirty laundry in public, trying to balance your ballast between bags and posting your knickers home through the mail – your purse is going to be a lot lighter, before you're allowed on that flight!

Again, this wouldn't have happened if you had a set of Digital Luggage Scales!

Digital Luggage Scales are handheld portable scales with a digital read out, that allow you to quickly and easily weigh your luggage before you leave home (or the hotel), so you know whether you've packed one too many fake Rolex watches.

A great gift for the frequent flyer (and impulse shopper), so you'll know whether to buy another bag for your purchases before you fly home. You simply attached the strap to your bag, lift, and wait for the screen to display "hold" – this will indicate the weight has been identified, locked and displayed. It's also great for weighing any awkward items around home – maximum weight 80 pounds or 40 kilos.

Pop a set of Digital Luggage Scales into your bag – they'll be worth their weight in gold!
