These well-made dumbell bars are both pretty and useful. At first, I was concerned that all the threads would make it a pain in the butt to change/add plates. It's not a problem. The collars run smoothly and generally stay tight. I said 'generally' because one collar seems to loosen just a bit (perhaps I am not tightening it as well… but, it is always the same collar). The bars are heavier than I expected, I guess that's the point of exercise. These little guys are long enough to hold several plates at the same time. A good, solid product.

I don't know how they'll hold up, but they look and work great so far. They fit my old 1" cast iron weight plates from Weider and CAP, and even some old SA (Sports Authority) weight plates made of who knows what. As others have noted, the star collars have a tendency to loosen. However, I have two other pairs of similar dumbell handles that use star collars, and they tend to losen too. All three sets of dumbell handles I have, each made by a different manufacturer years apart, and with design differences showing they are not all from some third-party original source, all have this tendency, so I suspect it's just a downside to the design. It doesn't bother me much, I just check the collars for tightness periodically during a session, which only takes a moment. Unless you have the dumbells loaded up to the maxium capacity, the weights will rattle as they loosen, alerting the user to check the collars before it becomes so loose that stuff starts to fall off. This can be safer than spring collars or the old thumb-set-screw collars, which tend to fail with little or no warning, especially when the dumbell is held in a vertical orientation. If you hunt around, you might find large rubber washers or lock washers you could try, which might help to keep the collars from loosening. But, as I said, it doesn't bother me. Anyway, for those of you who like nice looking equipment, they do look good and were well packaged for safe shipment.

Exactly what I was looking for. The collars thread on smoothly. Well built product

These function exactly as advertised. They can be very hard to hold onto with heavy weight as the handles are very thin. You will for sure tear up your hands (at least until they’re all callous). I saw a few reviews about the finish chipping off but we haven’t had that issue after two months of pretty heavy use.

These are nice sturdy handles and I'm a satisfied cutomer.

Decent quality, but the diameter of the bar is less than 1 inch, so it is a little challenging to get a proper grip when using heavier weights. Also the knurling is fairly aggressive so gloves are recommended.

Just what I needed for all my weights. I didn't have to buy another weight set. They work very well. Easy to change the weights with the large threads.

As described. Feel great. Very strong
