  I have one but don't really care for it, it does seem to be fairly  accurate but for me not easy enough to read and measure with. Steve

I use one, yes it works just fine, I hold it against a table or something steady 'till it straightens out.

I have one, too.  It's ok.  Mine reads 75 grains when it isn't weighing anything so it's not that accurate.  It would give you a matched set of arrows though.

I like mine. I hang it from a nail stuck in abeam in my workshop, using a small bungee cord. I don't know how accurate it is. But I really only use it for comparison between shafts when sorting out arrows. For more accurate grain measuring I use my Dillon Reloading powder scale.
