Weighing the (significantly important) weight of the coupling on the tow ball is typically done with the help of a balance or a nose weight gauge. The balance, having not been designed for this job, is inaccurate and too heavy to take along on a trip.
A plastic or metal nose wheel gauge functions with a steel spring, because of this it is also very inaccurate and being under contant load presents a danger if the housing fractures allowing the spring to "explode".
The Reich TLC towbar load control combines a fine design with utmost accuracy and avoids problems associated with a wheel nose guage.
Digital read out in steps of 1 kilo and of course no spring.
