This was my first reloading scale. I'm pleased with it. I did notice that as temperature and humidity change during the reloading session, I needed to re-set the zero so that it would have the proper starting point. It would wander .1 grains up or down depending on the weather change.

The wrench is easily adjustable to the desired tension. Lots of bits fit including screwdriver, torx, hex allen wrench and even use the adapter to put a socket wrench on it for the large AR-15 PEPR or scope ring nuts. I use it regularly and found it a solid tool I can depend on.

I got the VISM mat about 4 weeks ago and have used it once or twice a week on dirt and a concrete pad. It is thick, especially compared to higher priced well known name brands. It folds and rolls up easily and keeps the dirty sides away from the clean sides. I like that! The hook-and-loop straps easily keep the mat rolled tightly, and the hand carry handle and shoulder strap make it easy to carry either way. I really like the product. It's as good or better than any other mat I've seen at the precision rifle match or at the range. The only thing I've seen on other mats that this one does not have is a strap/lip sown in at the front edge. I've seen some precision rifle shooters tuck their bipod legs into this strap/lip at the front of their mat to wedge their rifle between the strap/lip on the bipod legs and their shoulder on the butt stock to better stabilize the rifle. It's a cool feature, but not a deal breaker by any means.
