pocket scale

Tiny measuring device

A pocket scale is a small, portable weighing device that fits in a pocket or palm.

These compact digital scales typically measure in grams with precision to decimal places, used for weighing jewelry, coins, herbs, or other small items.

Their association with drug dealing makes possession potentially suspicious to law enforcement: The cops found a pocket scale in his car.
