A digital scale comprising:
- a support body;
- a suspending member provided on said support body to suspend an article to be weighed;
- a load cell provided on said support body to detect and measure the weight of an article suspended from said suspending member;
- a digital display unit provided on said support body to display said weight measurement;
- and
- a tape measure provided on said support body, wherein said tape measure is extendable from and retractable into said support body;
- wherein said support body includes a top surface and an opposing bottom surface and a pair of slots provided in said top surface, said digital scale further comprising a handle extending from said top surface of said support body, said handle comprising an elongated gripping portion having two ends and a leg extending substantially perpendicularly from each said end, and wherein said legs are slidable in said slots so that said handle is movable between retracted and extended positions.
