Product Information

Full details

The Reuben Heaton Microweigh 8000 Series is designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a highly accurate, portable weighing solution that bridges the gap between traditional tubular scales and modern readability. It offers the distinct advantage of a lightweight, pocket-sized form factor with a durable polycarbonate build, making it an ideal companion for field use; however, users should note that as a dial-based scale, it lacks the digital memory or backlit displays found in higher-end electronic alternatives.

FAQs

Does this scale require batteries?

No, the Microweigh 8000 is a purely mechanical dial scale and requires no batteries.

What is the maximum capacity of this model?

This specific model has a maximum capacity of 22lb with 2oz graduations.

Can I have this scale re-calibrated?

Yes, Reuben Heaton provides full after-sales calibration facilities for the 8000 series.

Is the stainless steel hook rust-proof?

The stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for damp outdoor environments, though it should be dried after heavy moisture exposure.

What is the tare capacity?

The tare facility allows you to zero out the weight of containers or slings up to 15% of the total scale capacity.

Troubleshooting

Pointer does not return to zero

Use the tare/zero dial to manually adjust the needle to the zero position while the scale is unloaded.

Weight readings seem inconsistent

Ensure the scale is hanging perfectly vertical and is not being influenced by side-to-side wind pressure.

Internal mechanism feels stiff or sluggish

Check for debris inside the housing. If the issue persists, contact official service for professional cleaning and lubrication.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely compact and portable design
No battery requirement for operation
High-durability stainless steel load points
User-friendly tare mechanism for precise measurements
Includes access to official calibration and service

Cons

Analog dial lacks the precision of digital readouts
No electronic memory for storing catch weights
Smaller capacity (22lb) limits it to lighter applications
Harder to read in low-light conditions compared to backlit models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Microweigh 8000 is straightforward. Simply ensure the top hang point is secured to a stable anchor or tripod. Before first use, verify the pointer rests at the zero mark; if it does not, use the tare adjustment knob to calibrate.

Care Instructions:

Wipe down with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt or debris.
Avoid storing the scale with weight permanently suspended, as this can fatigue the internal spring mechanism.
Periodically check the stainless steel hook for signs of bending or wear.
If the scale experiences a significant shock, such as a drop onto a hard surface, send it to an authorized facility for a calibration check.
