“After getting this pair we're sorted for dumbbells. Yes it takes a little longer to spin the collar especially if you've got the long handles and using them lighter but these kind of give you the best of both worlds: they're not as expensive as those complicated adjustables, you get really good bang for buck, and they're solid durable simple long-lasting. If you really need to change your weights in under 30 seconds on super sets then maybe get single dumbbells or expensive click operated adjustables but if you've got a couple of minutes to change weights between sets if you need to then these are the best.”

“Great dumbbells, the rubber is very convenient. They look great in person. Handles are a decent length. With all of the plates on it fits quite snug, however if you use a lighter load the bar will stick out a lot, occupational hazard of adjustable dumbbells, no complaints about that. Knurling is fine, plates were good quality, collars stay tight (so far).
Great option for heavy dumbbells in a home gym.”

Jacob, thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you like the knurling on our dumbbells and find them comfortable to use. The rubber smell is normal when new and will dissipate over time. If it bothers you, we recommend using gloves or washing your hands after each workout.
