Pros & Cons
Pros
My only complaint is the color. Price's a steal, too. Half the cost of any alternative. Much cheaper than the other brand. I'd recommend these to anyone that asked what it was.
These fractional dumbbell plates attach well to dumbbells and olympic bars. Each fractional plate opens up and allows you to attach it. I wish they were a little thicker with a smaller circumference, so that when i set my weights on the floor, they do... Read More
Mechanical design is also easy enough. Works well even in pairs on any dumbbell that's larger than the 5kg hex ones. Both my kettlebells and adjustable dumbbells step up in 5 pound increments.

They do not drop due to their own weight even when shaken vigorously, and this is with the original awful bands.
Price
Nice, affordable option for adding a little extra weight to your dumbbells or barbells.
These fractional dumbbell plates do the job just fine and are the more economical option.

These are about half the price, and do a good job.
Competitiveness
I typically don’t write reviews but wanted to counteract the negative one star review referring to micro gainz.
At around 50% of their competitor's price, i'd say that these are great value.
The competition, which is double the price seems to have a better design for snapping on the weight, but i don't mind using the... Read More
