Brian S.: I use mine to hold down a push-to-talk button for extended meetings, and another 500g weight to keep my mouse cord from sliding off the edge of the table when I mouse to the right and pulling when I try to go back to the left.
I've found lots of uses for a simple small, heavy weight on my desk.

Gordon Ung: I bought this as a low cost calibration weight. you basically get you pay for. I am using it on a low cost scale, but the scale is quite accurate with 200 gram weights that are used to zero an older Acculab scale. This weight is basically a gram off. I asked the vendor about and they mostly blew me off. I may just try to dremel off a gram to get it closer, but maybe I'm being way too picky for how much it costs.

Maneki Neko: Good plating. Useful shape. Certified to be Accurate. Inexpensive enough to keep a few around to check the accuracy of your digital scales as you work. If you are weighing something around a kilogram, and your scale reads 1005 grams, for instance, you can tare the scale (set it to zero) with this 1 kilogram weight on the scale. This 'zeros' out the error in your scale near the weigh of the object to be weighed, providing a more accurate measurement. If you are measuring an object that weighs 1200 grams, and you 'tare' the scale at zero and read 5 grams of error with the 1 Kilogram calibration weight there is a half percent (0.5 %) error in your scale. At 1200 grams that 0.5% error will be 6 grams. When you calibrate at 1 kilogram, and zero the scale there, and measure your 1200 gram object, the reading will be 201 grams. Adding in the weight of the calibration mass at 1,000 grams, yields a measured weight of 1201 grams, reducing the error to 1 gram, or 0.08%. Precision scales are seriously inexpensive. By calibrating with a set of test weights in the zone of interest, you can seriously improve upon the readings of a simple digital scale, and do so with increased confidence that...

Cynthia: As described. Can't validate weight and I'm using it to calibrate a scale, but seems to be ok.

RickC: Seems accurate enough. Came weakly packaged in a bubble envelope, which could easily chip the thing. Would be nice to have a simple plastic cylinder for storage, since dust and what not will destroy the calibration.

SK8: Only 4 star as it was very expensive to buy 5 of them so I could calibrate the food scale correct for GF Baking. As they do not sell just one 5KG weight :/

Uwohali: The weight came in a bubble wrapped envelope with some thin tissue paper wrapped over it, sort of light packing given it is 1 Kg. , it arrived in great shape though being polished and looking new with no dents or rough spots. The only difference is the picture is different from the actual weight sent, refer to : American Weigh Scales 500WGT 500 Gram Calibration Weight, that is the shape the weight I received is- 3 1/4" tall by 1 7/8" diameter on the bottom approximately. The top being about 1 5/8" diameter. I actually prefer this shape over the one pictured because it is much easier to grasp and being since it is 1Kg. you have a firm hold on it, the one pictured just looks like it would be hard to handle. I caught this for quite a low price compared to what it is now. I am quite happy with it, given it appears new, not damaged, and is quite accurate. In all fairness, my weight did not come from USA Suppliers like Amazon is showing for the supplier now, so I do not know the quality of the weight from that supplier.
