I need to weigh a keg as I fill it to determine the total volume it's holding. Can I get some recommendations for a quality weight scale? Preferably one that is accurate, stays on while weighing, and doesn't cost a fortune?

Thanks in advance!
 
I bought this scale back in 2017 for $25 delivered and it works great. It's now up to $45, which seems pricey to me considering the competition. I definitely recommend getting a scale with a separable display for when you want to weigh something big that would otherwise obscure the readings...

Cheers!
 
I have this one: https://a.co/d/8Q2ZRT9 Overall I am very happy with the scale. I use it to weigh grain and various items like propane tanks, CO2 tanks, packages for mailing, and kegs (though I keep saying I should weight my filled kegs more to verify exactly how much I am getting into the keg).

It tops out a 55 lbs, which is is an okay weight for 5-gallon kegs and various other items. A higher capacity might be nice, but then you might start to trade out accuracy at the lower end. For higher weight items, I use my bathroom scale.
 
Bought this at Amazon and it works great. Wireless so I have the display on the wall. Works great for weighing my luggage so I can beat the 50lb limit without worrying
