“Plates look good but only the 45s fit my bar? After a few emails to the company I got a response saying it was my bar, not the plates? All my Standard brand Olympic weights fit my bar fine. I've ordered a new bar so fingers crossed they fit it.”

Hi, We cannot guarantte the fit of our plates on barbells that are not made to strict tolerances. The opening in the plate is 50.4mm, within .01 mm tolerance. The barbell you purchased from another supplier is not made to IWF specifications for sleeve tolerance.

“After just one drop I noticed small specs of metal on my lifting platform. I dabbed them with tape and continued lifting. More metal came off. I notified Vulcan and they said some metal must have gotten on to the sleeves from another machining process in the building. I rubbed the sleeves with a damp cloth thinking it was remnants from manufacturing that were just on the surface. A large amount of chrome ranging is size from a spec to an inch-long curl came off on the rag. I sent those scraps to Vulcan. I brushed the sleeves with a brass brush and it did help but… chrome came off every time I used the bar and Vulcan refused to believe a word I said. The Vulcan Customer Service department is actually a Deny-and-Deflect Department. Their comments ranged from some metal got on the sleeves at the factory to it was my fault for removing chrome by brushing to it must be my bumper plates to no one has ever said anything like this before and our bars are used in competitions…Then after several weeks since Vulcan refused to act, I brushed both sleeves for 45 minutes each in an effort to make the bar useable. I didn’t need another metal sliver in my hand (that happened when I unpacked the bar) and I don’t want metal particles embedded in my platform, collars and bumpers. Finally after numerous exchanges I was sent an empty tube and return label. Vulcan agreed to check this one bar for flaws. All Vulcan would say when they looked at the bar was how they could definitely see where I brushed off chrome. They still didn’t get it. They would still not admit that the bar had a bad chrome job. Good chrome applied properly is a very durable metal. Vulcan talked about it like it was cheap paint. They still denied it was defective and said with metal on metal that will happen and they were afraid if they sent another bar I would have the same complaint. I asked: Metal on metal? Didn’t they use competition plates at contests? No one else used bumpers with steel sleeves? Friction created by sliding bumpers off and on removed chrome from the grooves and not the high points? At that point it became far beyond ridiculous. Very little they said made any sense. Finally I just told them that if this had never been an issue with any other bar they ever made just send me one of those and the issue will be resolved. I finally did receive a replacement bar after more than a month. The bar is nice, very smooth and whippy. The knurling is definitely not aggressive but is just about right. I really like the bar but the company is not good. I have never dealt with a company that continually tried to deny my complaints and then attempt to blame me for the problem. They have never taken responsibility for the problem and they never will. Beware!”

“The best Fat Bar/ Axle you will find. It is 5' long weighs 24lbs. Others are 20lbs or less. This bar is solid and the best part I got mine for $75 and it shipped free! The other guys was $110 and the Vulcan is better!”

“I just reviewed a different bar we bought from Vulcan, and I love it. As thrilled as I am with the performance in that bar, I am equally disappointed in this bar. I understand this is a lower grade bushing bar. I've lifted on a number of beater bushing bars over the last 5 years. So I had an idea what to expect with this one. But this has come in drastically under those expectations. It has virtually no spin to it. Fresh out of the box, with plenty of grease to spare, it would barely spin 1 way around before stopping. We have a number of Rogue beater bars at our gym that have been roughed up for 3+ years that perform better than this one did brand new. Vulcan is doing great things. I love the other bar I bought (amazing value and performance). However I think the mark was missed with this bar, The Good: Shipping and customer service were amazing. We live in MT and the bar got to us 3 days after purchasing. The packaging was really secure. The bar has a really nice look to it and has good knurling.”

“Order Placed 30 April. Received belt 15 May. Ordered two prong belt. Received one prong belt. The size was correct. Quality of product material is fantastic. Free shipping is not a shipping method. Had to call to get info on shipment and still was not notified of shipment date or mode of shipment. VULCAN USA Reply: Shipment was delayed on this belt and wrong belt was sent. Customer was given a discount code to be used on subsequent orders. Customer was offered another belt with double prong at no charge but refused. Customer has since placed another belt order with us.”
