New (to me) towing hitch with weight scale built in.

Question

A couple of years ago I bought a scale to weigh the tongue on my trailer. It works fine.

However, in perusing Amazon, I found a hitch that has a weight scale built in. I'd never seen or heard mention of one before so I thought I would post it.

It gets good reviews - has anyone used one?

I bought one thinking it could help with making multiple tongue weight readings and returned it. The reading was aprox. 200 lbs off of the measurements from the CAT scale trip. Borrowed a friends Sherline to get another reading and it confirmed the bad reading by the hitch scale.

a Sherline scale is much cheaper and that hitch won't be useful if you need a WDH.
