I finally broke down and bought the Park DS-1, after nearly braining myself on my workbench, losing my balance while standing on a scale with an old Schwinn Collegiate.
Of course I didn’t drop the bike!
I liked it so much that I bought the DS-2, so I could weigh individual components. In the realm of all the money most of us spend on bikes, and bike stuff, both were peanuts. If you care about the weight, buy the proper tool. It was fun to know that when I started on that old Schwinn it was 39.9lbs, after the rebuild 34.7lbs, still heavy, but a noticeable difference, the owner was pleased.
