Mechanical Tabletop Weighing Scales Price In Uganda

What is a Mechanical Tabletop Weighing Scale?

Mechanical tabletop scales (also called analog or dial scales, balance/pan scales, or counter scales) measure weight without using electronic components. They use springs, levers, or counterweights. These are useful for shops, markets, agriculture, kitchens, etc., especially where electricity is unreliable or where durability is needed.
