Pros & Cons

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

Pros

The finish isn't perfect but i don't care, they're just dumbbells. Well made and will last a lifetime.

The knurling has strong grip texture. Price per lb is great compared to other weights out there and they offer the more desirable 70+ lb options.



Cons

Received two 30lb barbells. Doing a dumbbell alternating power * would not be recommended. That's scary for a 65 lbs dumbbell.

The handles are bent! The dumbbells did such a slop-job of painting that they are chipped and peeling off. There were sprue spikes all over the handles. The handles melted into the knurling during shipping and required repeated soaking in wd40 to remo...  Read More

These are some of the worst dumbbells i've ever bought. These were manufactured with very low qa standards. Amazon sold products are so inferior in quality these days.

Highlights

Quality


Well made and will last a lifetime.


Great for inclined bench press, lunges, curls, push ups, etc.


There are high uneven welds that run across the handle and at this weight would definitely cut my hand without gloves.


The one i replaced was not made by cap, and was pretty poor quality (chipping paint, shoddy casting and assembly, etc.

Price


Great for the price and use them almost every day for my workout routine.


Don’t waste your money on overly expensive dumbbells, buy these.


Each one may cost a month's gym membership, but i guarantee this thing is going to outlive me.


I thought it was a little pricey initially, but once it arrived i felt it was worth it

Shipping


Weights arrived on time, were new, undamaged and were as expected.


I was worried i might not receive them as it took several days longer to receive i was originally told.


Shipping lost the first set that was sent to me but amazon made things right and sent another free of charge.


There was a hiccup with the delivery where one was "undeliverable" but i got a replacement sent very fast.

Packaging/appearance


I ordered a pair of 65 and 70 pound dumbbells and received everything in great condition with very nice grips.


Only thing that wasn’t great is that the box was completely destroyed when i got it.


They were in two cardboard boxes (for each dumbbell, they were delivered separately of course), both of which were destroyed, f...  Read More


But either way, the packaging really wasn’t good enough for 50 pound dumbbells.

Competitiveness


Decent price compared to other competitors, & they are great!


I still think cap is the standard for this type of dumbbell, and i'd probably buy another one, but it's not quite as nice as th...  Read More


I’ve used expensive “big name” brands for many different forms of training equipment.

    They definitely feel like 45lbs i don’t have a scale to confirm but either way i’m ok with the heaviness


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The finish isn’t perfect they have some chips and what not but i expected that when having 50 pounders delivered


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They were in two cardboard boxes for each dumbbell they were delivered separately of course both of which were destroyed filthy and wet since it’s been snowing here


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One box was entirely open on one side however given the weight of these i’m not surprised and i honestly feel bad for the delivery driver who had to deliver two 50 pound boxes to my door


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But either way the packaging really wasn’t good enough for 50 pound dumbbells


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They had a plastic bag wrapped around them inside as well which seemed to be extremely old


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The plastic was torn and destroyed so i’m guessing these have been sitting around for a long time


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They were dirty as well but nothing a little alcohol can’t clean
