I’m outfitting eight stations for our 3-hour sourdough fundamentals and need scales that survive flour dust, spills, and nonstop taring during hands-on practice. If you’ve run classes, which models in the $60–$100 range with 0.1 g resolution up to 5 kg have lasted a semester?
KD‑8000s (~$60) survive flour, spills, and “nonstop taring”; add a 0.1 g pocket scale — work?
Quick example: my pocket kit lives in a Nanuk Nano 320 with 5 ml screw‑top watch vials — the PowerClaw latch stays shut and it won’t ‘dump pins in the van’ (NANUK Hard Cases - Durable, Protective Cases for Your Gear). I line the lid with 2 mm EVA foam and drop a thin magnetic strip in the base so vials don’t rattle, which keeps me quick on a kitchen counter. If you’re mostly doing Schlage, do you want my color‑dot map for depths and top pins?
