I suppose for the price its not bad but Id be sceptical of it being able to take a 40k weight on the fabric cord. iPersonally I got a berkely one which i have a few years and its great and 30 euro for somethin that will last years aint bad , I also have a budget mechanical scales which isnt very acurate and the only reason it has a place in my box is the fact it has a tape measure .

Heres a link to give you an idea whats available
