My Weigh 3 Beam Balances, a classic triple beam with a capacity of 2610 grams and readability of 0.1 grams. It comes complete with upgrade attachment weights. The My Weigh Triple Beam mechanical scale costs less the the competition and the My Weigh balance comes complete with the upgraded attachment weights for free (Ohaus charges $61 extra for their 707-00 attachment weights) and My Weigh mechanical balances have a longer warranty. Yes the MyWeigh 3 beam is made in China but don't think for a minute the Ohaus is made in the USA since the Ohaus triple beam balance is made in outside the USA. For Home, School, Lapidary, or even weighing falcons, the My Weigh Triple Beam Balance is the best instrument for the job!

Magnetic Damping System
Quickly stabilize any oscillation of the balance after sliding the poise across the beam. Using the principles that a permanent magnet field will resist the motion of the nonmagnetic aluminum dampening vane that is attached to the beams the oscillating beams will come to rest quickly. Small magnets are positioned on both sides of the damper vane. What's it all mean to you - faster weighing results!

Finally someone has brought to the marketplace a triple beam balance that is high quality and economically priced.

Unlike the way some manufacturers disguise where their scales are made we will tell you the 3 Beam Balance is made in China. The label clearly states the place of origin as China and you can click here for a close up of the label. We can also tell you this 3 Beam Balance weighs and works just like the Ohaus triple beam but is substantially less money!

Why pay more? Educators should show their prudent fiscal responsibility in spending the public's money on triple beam balances for the classroom and buy the MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance. We offer quantity discounts for as little as 4 units at only $77.75 each and we do accept school purchase orders ($2000 minimum. Orders under $2000 you can send a check in advance or pay by credit card - see our guidelines for an open account HERE).

We have highlighted the features of the 3 Beam Balance and hopefully after reviewing the information below you will acknowledge the major difference is the amount of money people are for the Ohaus Triple Beam Balance. Sure it's the original, but the time is here to make way for the MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance.

One of the biggest difference between the two brands is the 3 Beam Balance comes standard with the 3 attachment weights while Ohaus sells the 750-00 Triple Beam and the 707-00 Attachment Weights as a separate optional accessory. The 707-00 Attachment Weights sell for an additional $61.00. A second distinct feature of the 3 Beam Balance is it's jet black color.

The thing we like most about the MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance is the packaging. The MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance is packaged in a Styrofoam case and is engineered so the balance does not move around in transit. Take a close-up look by clicking any of the pictures to the left. Notice how the MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance Styrofoam packing case has caverns that securely hold the attachment weights, 500 gram poise and triple beam arm from moving around during transportation.

Sometimes with the Ohaus Triple Beam is the 500 gram poise would fall out of its cardboard slit in Ohaus' packaging design and rolls around in the box during transit. Since any package shipped via UPS will fall 14" off a conveyor belt during presorting you could sometimes get your Ohaus Triple Beam riddled with bang marks from the dislodged 500 gram poise banging around during transit.

Finally as the photos depicts to the left and even the name we called the image for the Ohaus packaging is a twisted convoluted packaging design of spaghetti cardboard. Maybe the designer of the packaging was a origami hobbyist. Take a close-up look and ask yourself if you could ever re-box the Ohaus Triple Beam Balance. The MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance comes in a Styrofoam case so you can easily store the 3 Beam Balance away.

Teachers should be able to recognize this as a great feature. In the past your only choice was to store the Ohaus Triple Beam Balance on a shelf and they would bang together and require lots of room. Remember these are precision weighing instruments not designed to be banged around. In addition, storing the MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance in the Styrofoam packaging prevents dust from gathering especially with the agate bearing. Finally, when placed back in the Styrofoam case you can safely stack the MyWeigh 3 Beam Balance away for the next time you require them for a science project.
