This came in handy for travel to ensure we did not go overweight. However, you must have the help of a second person because you have to hoist the bag up and the hook is too small for suitcase handles so there's always the concern of the bag falling off. I was also able to hook it on a door hook to weigh my luggage when traveling alone.

The hook also needs to be a tad wider.

It was an okay value, overall. But after using it for more than a year now, I'm going to actually invest in a nicer product that is more user-friendly. My back hurts from trying to lift a 50-lb bad with a small shoestring for a handle. Surprisingly, the string is strong. Too bad it couldn't lift my suitcase on its own.
