What kind of weight do you use to hang?

[Bryson]

I'm curious as to what kind of weights everyone uses to hang with. I wonder if I should go out and buy a cheap weight set of some kind or should I use stuff from around the house?

I use olympic plate weights from my weight bench etc.

 

[nickynine]

I just use weight plates as well. They only cost about a dollar a pound

I use a 25lb hex dumbell.

I use gallons of water. They are the easiest to add/subtract weight gradually with.

My cat, he goes about 10 lbs after a big bowl of kitty crunchies, gives a good tug.

lol @ sasquatch!

Those gallon water jugs sound like a good idea. Easy to add/subtract weight and they're cheap! How much does a full gallon jug weigh btw?

I stack 1.25 lb plates on a piece of 1" shaft I welded up. The most I've hung is a 16 lb Olympic shot-put.
