What size weight plates does this use? What is the diameter of the weight plates, is it 1"?

Yeah, the plates are 1". I don't think that any old standard plates would work with the handles though. Or they might, but the fit would suck and you'd have a potentially hazardous situation on your hands. The Ironmaster handles are designed for their square plates, and not the usual round plates. And, if you want to use the weight plates on a standard bar, Ironmaster sells a bar for use specifically for the weight plates. You might have to check out the max weight on the Ironmaster standard bar though. It might not hold enough for you.

Hi Jana, These units do not come with weights. The post they have on them are 1", so they fit standard weight plates without using an adapter. If you have Olympic plates with a 2" hole, you can purchase an Olympic adapter to slide on the post. Hope that helps. Thanks, Andy

I'm new to weight lifting as well but mine I'd say is 1 inch thick and is solid. My order also came with 2 clamps for the ends. Also looking at my order it says 47x1 so I would say that's 47 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Hoped that helped!

I haven't looked for 45 lb plates. I'm sure you can find them, I'd say the diameter of the bars are about 1 inch. However, I am not sure if the bar can hold over 120 lb. It's sturdy but only for the given weights; anything over the 100 lb weights given would make me nervous when using it with the bar.

weighing pad is 5 1/2" X4 1/2". The base is 5 1/2" X 8". I have two of this model and they both work very well.

The weight collar is 9.5 inches. My plates are 1.5". With 6 plates I don't think your getting a lock on there

It depends on the diameter of the weights you are placing on it. You can estimate 1/2 of the diameter of any plate you use. Thank you!

4 1/2" but you can set another plate on top of it. Set the plate on, turn the scale on, then it won't register the plate's weight. Or turn the power on, put the plate on, hit the power button again, then back to zero on the scale.

This is perfectly fine and safe for you to use. As long as the weight plates are 2 inches, you should be fine.

I bought this to use at my gym so just used the plates there. The 5lb Olympic plates just fit but with it takes a bit of finagling. If you are looking to purchase weights, then you can find individual plates at any large sporting goods store such as Dick's, Modells, etc. According to other reviews I read, it would be better to look for plates with 1" diameter holes as opposed to the larger diameter holes on Olympic plates as they should be secured more easily.

I don't have any 5lb plates, I purchased 50lb plates, which measure 15 inches in diameter

The inside diameter is 1" should fit any standard or Olympic barbel. I use it w/ my dumbbells as well.

Yes, this bar uses the 1" hole plates. All other dimensions are just like a standard Olympic bar.

The Total Gmy Weight Bar. The diameter is 1 inch, the length is 30 inches, as for the weight restriction, it did not come with any paper work, but I have used up to 50 pounds on each side. It seems to be ok with the weight.

Yes there is only 1.8 lbs. It is a complete rip off. I accidentally didn't look at the size of the product when I ordered, just the picture. And I couldn't return it either. You can buy it anywhere else for much cheaper.

Any size weight with a 1" diameter or Olympic size weights will fit using the provided adapter sleeve on it. You can buy them through Amazon or any spring goods provider.

The one I bought from Amazon has a quick release plate that is 1 3/16" square. Hope that helps. Terry Q.
