Pros

The ez curl portion of the bar is also at a great angle, some other bars barely have any angling. The handle is thicker than the one i had before, which is far more comfortable in the hands.

Has been lifting for the last 8 years and just built my own gym. This seems like a good value for the cost… especially when you consider how much a gym membership is over time. Great addition to our home gym arsenal. Arsenal.

This coating seems fine. It's black finish is a beaut to behold. The matte black looks great!

The instructions recommend oiling the entire bar on occasion. It is heavier than most ez bars at almost 20 lbs.

This ribbing seems fine. It's not rough or carelessly machined. The knurling is good on the handle and the ends rotate smoothly.



Cons

The bar is listed as 28 mm diameter. The bushings are garbage. Extremely gritty and noisy.

Quality


The quality is great, comfortable grip, and everything you would expect for an ez curl bar.


I love the quality here and the aesthetic (black) is awesome.


Bar is legit but the box was damaged and did not recieve spring clamps with the bar.


I guess if you have bumper plates, it won't slide off easily but with the collar, its not really a stabilizing factor.

Price


The price is almost unbelievable for such a solid bar, with brushings, bearings, coating, knurling, threaded collars, solid end...  Read More


The price is likely only possible due to the material being listed as alloy steel, rather than raw steel or stainless steel.

Shipping


Got it fast and it works great


Absolutely top notch bar not really much to say bad about the bar itself, would of been a 5 star if it wasn't late on shipping ...  Read More


Bar is great but shipping mangled it a bit


Shipping of weight training equipment is often spendy.

Packaging/appearance


This means the naked bar is roughly 17-18 lbs, which lines up with the packaging.

Competitiveness


I ordered this curl bar to replace my 15lb straight bar.

    It comes with a few spring clips which is a nice extra feature but overall this seems like what you would find in any professional health club
