Compared to the dial Rubens, yes they could be out too but how far do you go

My understanding is that they come back brand new.

Well Heff,it was as I said a long time ago..my first set of Ruebens ,were the orange dial marines,bought and delivered from Leslie's of Luton..

I weighed a bag of sugar on my Avons ,they gave reading of 1kg,that's using a pre tare zeroed,weigh sling,they went 1kg..

Same process,on my friends Avons,similar weight 1kg,

Kitchen scales,zeroed, sugar was .. 1kg..

Same process,Ruebens completely inaccurate, on some readings as much as 8oz,out..

Process repeated,using two bags of sugar .same ,still innacurate

Sent em back to Leslie's,new set eventually came,

Same process,and lots of different, weights on two sets of avons and using some early digital scales I got lent,short story ,second set of Ruebens sent back,...money returned,and chap agreed at Leslie's,both sets were 'out'..

I got them for a French trip,on my families lakes/complex...I just borrowed my families in the end..

In a nutshell,I don't rate Ruebens,big,bulky potentially inaccurate,bouncy needle syndrome,held by the body syndrome, and ,no...!...overhyped, much better on the market today,I bet..

Fair enough. I have reuben digitals and they have always been spot on.

Maybe just a bad batch, but once confidence is gone in something, its hard to get it back
