This is two products in one envelope: a digital hanging scale and a three-digit TSA-approved combination lock. For a first flight that is a sensible purchase, because both are things bought once and kept, and together they cost less than separately.

The TSA claim is attached to the right object, which is worth noting on this particular shelf. A TSA-approved lock has a master keyway that American screeners can open with their own key, so a bag can be inspected without the lock being cut off — a real certification, for a lock. Another listing on this shelf claims a TSA approval for its scale, which is not a thing that exists.

What the page will not tell you is how either item performs. For the scale there is no graduation, no accuracy, no tolerance, no display lock and nothing about the hook or the handle — which are the three things this hub compares. For the lock there is no shackle diameter, no body material and no dimension. Three of the seven bullets describe the bundle rather than either product in it. At this price that is a reasonable trade for a traveler who needs both and will check the scale against a known weight anyway, as this hub’s buying tip advises.

What travelers ask

What does TSA-approved actually mean?

That the lock has a master keyway the American Transportation Security Administration can open with its own key, so a screener can inspect the bag without cutting the lock off. It is a genuine certification and it applies to locks, not to scales — which is worth saying because another listing on this shelf claims its scale is "TSA approved". Here the claim is attached to the right object.

Is the scale any good?

The page gives no basis for an answer. There is no graduation, no accuracy figure, no tolerance, no display lock and no statement about the hook or the handle — which between them are the three things this hub compares. What there is: a 110 lb capacity, an LCD display and a battery in the box. Three scales on this shelf publish a measurement figure, and this is not one of them.

Is a bundle the right way to buy?

For a first trip, possibly. A scale and a TSA lock are two things most travelers buy once and then keep for years, and buying them together costs less than separately. The caution is that neither item in a bundle is usually the best version of itself, and on this site both categories have their own shelf — this hub for scales, and the TSA locks shelf for locks, where a lock’s shackle, body and dial are specified.

    Travelon 13696 silicone privacy tags, 3-pack

    • The strap is the cover: unlooping it reveals the address, phone and email, so the details cannot be read while the tag is attached
    • Only the name is visible in normal use, which is the arrangement this hub's buying tip points at
    • The first bullet contains the error "only you're your name is visible", and the same sentence is repeated word for word in the description

    Best for: A cover that cannot be lifted by accident, because it is holding the tag on

    • A stainless steel luggage loop alongside it, so both parts of the attachment are metal
