Stylus force digital scales

Digital scales from Clearaudio and others range from $200-500. Amazon has 'em for $20. Why cant I use one of these instead and save big bucks?

I have found it to be accurate and consistent. It appears well made(china) and is only 79.99. Another benefit, battery requirements are triple A's not the high dollar watch type batteries.

I have the identical one from Acoustic Sounds (provably made by the same manufacturer) and its magnetic and still needs taring when I put my cart hovering over the weigh scale area.
