Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I assume they did that in order to help secure the clamp.

Good value even with inaccuracies. Very durable item. I have zero complaints this set is perfect.



Cons

This is just pure negligence and waiting for a lawsuit to happen. There is thick sharp paint that is peeling off. The bars bearings are full of rust.

Almost $1 a pound. Do not buy this barbell. Shame on me for getting a good deal. This is a cheaper made product.

Quality


Good quality so far, and works well for my basement.


These are good, old school weights and have been a true blessing allowing me to keep lifting during shut down.


The weights are nice but the bar was crap just awful

Price


Great value for sure, you’ll be glad you bought it.

I went back on the page tonight and saw that this same set has increased to over $900!

Shipping


Shipping went well and it was all packaged in manageable boxes.


I immediatly contacted the seller and i received a brand new bar within about 10 days.


I received an email stating they were shipping a new one, today it arrived.


My barbell was bent when arrived, they promptly shipped me a brand new one.

Packaging/appearance


Everything came perfectly wrapped in plastic and boxes delivered on a wooden pallet without a scratch in sight.


One thing i didn't like is that the barbell didn't come in a box or anything and was just sort of taped to a pallet.


A 45lb came broken so if it can be replaced i'd be thrilled.

Competitiveness


I dont see reasons to get any other type of weights unless you are in competition or have specifics to follow.

    It took a couple times explaining what had happened to the seller i suspect they are more used to returns than warehouse errors but i got the price difference refunded

    Their cardboard boxes did not do well but the weights were unsullied rustfree and otherwise quite full of extra gravity
