I wouldn't trust the 'weight' stamped on a 'weight'. Just how close to "10 lbs" might they be...........not very close I'd bet.

For a quick and I think more accurate way to test my Berkely scale, I put one 5 lb bag of sugar or flour in a grocery store( or Kmart) plastic bag and hang it from the scale. Then I put two bags in for a 10 lb indidcation. IMO, those bags of sugar/flour are going to be 'right on' as their content/weight is controlled by the US Dept. of Commerce(I think?) or some other agency.
