Pros & Cons
Pros
Overall, these are quality bars and i would recommend them with the following caveats. I like this a lot more than my weiders which were almost double the price. I can’t knock them down for that, they are what they are.
The black looks great; the only con is the knurling is basically non-existent. Some people like that better than the kind that is a bit sharper. The new ones also have a slightly shorter weight sleeve, but a much better knurled grip, whereas the old o... Read More
The threads are well-made and securely hold the weights in place. The only issue is you can fit only 3, 10 pound plates on either side with a clamp. The threaded caps work well and don't move around.
The craftsmanship is excellent. The locks spin very well. There are rubber gaskets to help keep it quieter.

Price
These are exactly what i was looking for at a low price.
These black ones were on sale and i could not resist a pair for $11.
Guessing they got cheap copies and not real cap ones.
At the price i paid (~$18) these were an absolute bargain.
Shipping
I am disappointed that it was not shipped with other order and the delay but its want i wanted and can't wait to use
Packaging/appearance
A separate plate set i ordered came with non-threaded barbell handles.
Box came in torn but item was fine.
Competitiveness
Ultimately, i choose the cap smooth dumbbells because they were less expensive than the other nearly identical product.
