“I purchased the knurled grip handles to replace the older rubber handles on my U-90 set. You know how when you buy something and you get it and know right away it was a good purchase? Well, that's the way I feel about PowerBlocks and these handles. I keep picking the up and saying to myself, "Damn, I love these handles." They are solid, comfortable, and look great. Can't be happier!”
“I bought these as an alternative to my original U-50 handles. No issue with fitment on the U-50 weight plates. I also bought the Pro Series 2 and 3 expansions and they have the same fit. I checked with customer service earlier and they said they fit but of course, recommended buying the full pro series set instead of upgrading the U-50s.
The knurled grips come with the adder weights and handles with knurled grips as shown in the product pictures. The knurl is very mild but on steel handles create a very secure grip. I also have another Powerblock Sport 90 dumbbell pair that I previously upgraded with 3rd party 'aggressive knurl' steel handles which I LOVE so much more. I don't have any slipping with either handle but I prefer the aggressive knurl feel. The enthusiasts would LOVE a 'mild', 'medium' and 'aggressive' knurl option but I'm pretty sure it would be too risky for management so I'm sure it wouldn't happen.”
“The knurled handles were a game changer. I wish I would’ve saw the other pro handles without the adder weights because I would’ve grabbed those instead. These are still good though.”
