“The knurling provides very little grip(less than some of my kitchen appliences), it is however well done. It looks percise and I see no obvious defects.
Also of note, this knurl does not match the knurl on the powerblock barbell.”
“These knurled grips COMPLETELY changed my experience with the PowerBlocks! THANK YOU for making these. They feel very high quality and my grip is solid for every lift. You should consider making this the standard geip for all of your high end dumbbells. I have the PowerBlocks Sport EXP, which previously I would have thought needed zero improvement. This addition make my set an 11 out of 10!”
“An amazing upgrade to my dumbbells. The knurled grips help with the stability around the end range of the dumbbells. Wish I would have made this purchase a long time ago.”
“Easy to order I purchased the knurled grips for my U90 Powerblocks. Cutomer service was great in helping find the correct ones to order to fit my dumbells. I love the feel. I recomend the upgrade.”
“These grips are a nice upgrade to the standard rubber grips. Installation was pretty easy, took maybe 20 minutes. The knurling could be a little more aggressive, though I haven't had any trouble with them slipping. They're a nice addition to my power block set, though maybe a little overpriced for what they are. I didn't notice any manufacturing defects, they seem to be good quality.”
“Bought these grips to upgrade my PowerBlock Pro EXPs. Installation was a 5-minute breeze, loved that PowerBlock included a reusable thing of Loctite in the package. The only tool a buyer needs is a 3/16th allen wrench. Immediate improvement in feel and aesthetic.
Knurling is good: not too aggressive, not too light. Very comparable to a Rogue Ohio Bar level of knurl.
Weight: they do weigh slightly more than the standard grips. One of my base handles with adder weights removed weighed 7.809lbs with the stock grip, and 8.463lbs once I installed the knurled grip. The other handle weighed 8.485lbs after I installed the knurled grip, so expect about a .6lb increase per handle, with very good tolerances.
Once installed, the grips don't rotate at all and feel like they're the same thickness as normal dumbells or barbells. These are a great improvement to PowerBlock dumbbells, made by the original manufacturer, and way cheaper than third-party alternatives. Worth the upgrade!”
