Customer Reviews

A friend of mine donated me some old weights so i needed some dumbbell bars to go with them.
I chose the 16" spinlock for 2 reasons:
-1: The spinlocks provide a very safe locking mechanism
-2: You can get more weights on the 16" than the 14" (obvious I know)
The weights I was given are old school cement filled york weights that are quite bulky for their weight. With these 16" bars you can get 2 on either side, a 14" would only fit 1. If you have cast iron or chrome weights you could probably get 3 or 4 per side (so 6 or 8 per bar).
The handles are quite rough but they've not caused me any bother (and I have soft hands)
So overall it's a good solid product that does exactly what it is supposed to. Oh and don't forget that the price is per bar (not for a pair)

Some exercises require only one dumbbell and I was very pleased to be able to buy a single bar, rather than a pair.
The handle is a bit rough, but far from causing a problem, it simply gives a better grip than the other bars which I use.
Usually, these bars seem to come with one, relatively hard, plastic washer embedded in the nut. These have a washer in the nut and another one on the bar itself. These washers are considerably softer than normal. The result is that they grip the weights much more securely than is usual, and you don't have the weight furthest from the nut spinning around during use.
I would certainly buy this product again, in preference to the other, more expensive, dumbbell bars that I have bought in the past.
