It is much more accurate, if you have the right scale gauge on it. Mine came with a 2,000 lb. gauge which I replaced with a 1,000. The gauge is most accurate in the middle of the range ( and easier to read ). For a 2,000 lb gauge, that would be 1,000 lbs.
If you are trying to read a 200lb. tongue
weight, you really need a 500 lb. gauge. You can get the proper gauge at a plumbing supplier or order the scale with the gauge you need.
