The OX bar is well built and is a nice blend of features taken from other, more expensive bars. One feature that caught me by surprise was that the handles are not actually parallel. When the bar is on its jacks, the whole handle bracket is angled up slightly. I don’t think this will detract from its function at all, but something to be aware of. Vulcan claims this intentional, but it really feels like a factory welding mistake.
The knurling on the handles is medium but gets a bit inconsistent and rough on the edges. When the bar arrived, the handles were not fully screwed together and needed tightening.
While the overall build quality is pretty good, the bar I received only seem to have been powder coated on one side. I reached out to Vulcan and they said they will be sending a “touch up” kit. Whatever that means. Unless this kit includes a can of spray paint, I don’t see how I’ll be able to recreate factory powder coating on half of this huge bar. We shall see.
Also, the end caps are way too small and rattle around whenever the bar moves which is loud and annoying. Probably going to have to use electrical tape to pad the edges.
All in all, it’s a good bar and functions as intended. Putting it together wasn’t hard, and the rubber jack feet function well. Just be prepared for annoying cosmetic issues that you will likely need to repair yourself.
