Scales in the UK that will actually do 0.01g?

So my trusty AWS LB-501 scales died after years of use.

I have now tried 3 set off amazon all claiming to be able to do 0.01g and none that actually can. I really need 0.01g for batch mixing 10ml batches.

So far tried:

ORIA Pocket Scale

Criacr Digital Pocket Scales

ACCUWEIGHT 255 (worse of the bunch, can't even hold calibration, fluctuates 0.5g after being calibrated).

Yeah, they are not cheap. But, I finding out that you get what you pay for with scales...all 3 I have tied so far have been under £20 and not a single one had been able to measure the advertised 0.01g range with liability. Can totally get that to most people that's not a huge deal, but mixing a 10ml test batch and not being able to reliably know if you added 0-10% of a flavour is a huge issue.
 
You get what you pay for with scales tbh, 600 quid will see you a nice kern that holds calibration and reads just about 0.01 reliably
