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

Billmac, I've got one of 'em and it works fine for me, nice and simple, does everything I need it to. Eddie, you mean you didn't get the gram converter with yours?

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.
