There are few more annoying times in your week or month (depending on how many times you are forced or more happily choose to enjoy airline travel) than going through the rigmaroles of airport regulations. Even within the United States, airlines have their own rules when it comes to how much weight you are allowed to bring on board for free, so knowing exactly how much you are carrying with you may be worth more than its weight in gold (pardon the pun).

 

The iTalk Luggage Scale makes trying to balance on your bathroom scale while cuddling your luggage a thing of the past. Weighing in at less than half a pound you can take it with you on any trip; however much added weight you will be carrying in the form of souvenirs or some duty-free booze.

 

When travelling with a partner, it can be slightly embarrassing to have to rearrange your entire combined luggage. Though they might be clean and made by a top name brand, nobody wants to see your underwear while you scramble to even out the weight so neither of you have to pay the excess weight charge.

 

It can be used hand-held for a last-minute check or mounted to give a more precise reading. And let’s be honest, any device can do its job, but one that actually talks to you has a novelty that has not worn off on me.

 

Heys produces many more products than the iTalk luggage scale, so the next time you want to know how many additional pounds you are traveling with, this stylish little scale is one that you may wish to own.
