Two weighing platforms for a wide range of applications
What stands out about this scale is the layout of the platform: on the left, a large stainless steel pan for heavier objects up to 5 kg with 0.1-gram accuracy; on the right, next to the display, a smaller pan for light objects requiring precise weighing up to 500 grams with 0.01-gram accuracy. You don’t need to switch or reset; simply place the object on the platform that matches the weight and desired precision.
The small platform is ideally suited for microdosing, kratom powder or extracts, concentrated supplements, and other substances where a difference of one-hundredth of a gram matters. Use the large platform for bulk quantities of herbs, packages, or other objects where 0.1-gram accuracy is sufficient. The backlit LCD display is easy to read on both platforms. You can find more scales in the scales category.
How do you use this scale?
Place the scale on a flat, vibration-free surface. Turn it on and wait until the display reads zero. Use the tare function to zero out a weighing container. Select the desired unit of measurement using the unit button. Place the item to be weighed on the scale and read the value. For weights over 500 grams, the scale automatically switches to the 0.1 g range. The automatic shut-off feature conserves battery life during periods of inactivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this scale and the 6 kg Dual Range Digital Scale?
The 6 kg model has one large platform with a range up to 6 kg, where the precision changes from 0.1 g to 1 g above 2 kg. This 5 kg scale has two physically separate platforms: a large platform for up to 5 kg at 0.1 g and a small platform next to the display for up to 500 g at 0.01 g. That small platform is the key advantage: it makes it suitable for applications requiring high precision for small quantities, without having to switch scales.
Why is 0.01-gram accuracy necessary?
With a precision of 0.01 grams, the scale weighs in increments of one-hundredth of a gram. This is relevant for microdosing truffles or magic mushrooms, powdered kratom extracts, concentrated supplements where small doses have significant effects, and jewelry or gemstones. For regular herbal use, 0.1 gram is sufficient, but for precision dosing, 0.01 gram is the right choice.
Are batteries included?
Bullet Europe’s product specifications do not explicitly mention the power source. Similar models typically run on AAA batteries. Check the packaging upon receipt for the exact requirements. The scale will alert you when the batteries are running low.
