On Balance Intrepid Scale – 5000g x 0.1g Precision Tabletop

The On Balance Intrepid (5000g x 0.1g) is the definitive tabletop scale for those who need to weigh large quantities without sacrificing a single milligram of precision, offering the perfect balance between heavy-duty capacity and laboratory accuracy.

Are you tired of weighing your harvest in ten different batches because your standard pocket scale maxes out at 500g?

It is incredibly frustrating to break up your workflow, doing math on the fly, and watching your precious buds roll off a tiny weighing platform onto the floor. Not to mention the panic when your batteries die right in the middle of a session.

The Intrepid solves this instantly. With a massive 5kg capacity, a huge included bowl, and the option to plug it into the wall, you can weigh your entire yield in one go while maintaining the 0.1g accuracy you demand.

The heavyweight champion of precision

This device is designed to bridge the gap between industrial scales and precision pocket balances. It allows you to weigh a heavy bag of substrate or a massive harvest of dry flowers with the same confidence you would have weighing a single gram. It is an essential tool for any serious grower or Smoke Shop looking for professional reliability.

Its versatility is unmatched: use it on your desk with the USB cable to save batteries, or take it anywhere thanks to its portable design. It is built to last, with a 10-year warranty that proves the manufacturer's confidence in its durability.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

When harvest season hits, the little pocket scales just don't cut it for me anymore. I switch to the Intrepid because I can dump a whole jar's worth of cured buds into that big bowl and get the total weight in two seconds. It saves me so much time compared to weighing 50 grams at a time.

I also love the USB power feature. There is nothing worse than your scale dying when you are in the middle of organizing your pantry. I keep this one plugged in at my work table, and it's always ready to go. It feels sturdy, professional, and honestly, for the price, it's a piece of kit that pays for itself very quickly.
