Question:
Does the weight of the foot and count as part of the tongue weight reading?

Expert Reply:
Hello Phil! The jack foot on the BTBRV Trailer Jack Foot Scale # BTBRV014 is designed as part of the scale and does not affect its accuracy. Simply install it in place of your trailer jack foot, lower the jack onto a firm, level surface, and read the built-in gauge to check your tongue weight.
Even if it did get added in, it isn't significant enough to make a real impact on the reading. The same is true if you add the SnapPad # SN47FR.
