Lets weigh a dumbbell on four scales: I have three new digital scales from three different manufacturers and a very accurate and precise mechanical balance beam scale. The handle and spinlocks weigh 3 pounds, the plates weigh approximately 100 pounds (four 25lb plates).I first weigh the dumbbell on the accurate mechanical scale and see that it weighs 102.0 pounds and not 103.0 pounds â no big surprise, they shorted me 1/4 pound of cast iron in each plate to save money.
