“Axle has a solid construction with a great textured finish. I thought the name plate on the end could be of higher quality. Overall happy with the product.”

“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 am very pleased with the Shorty Axle Bar, and it has a good powder coating to absorb chock (not provided). I really like the 5 ft length and the 8 inches of loadable weight is more than enough for me. I purchased a pair of 25 lb Vulcan bounce plates to start with, but will need a couple more plates pretty soon. I performed a couple of overhead drops in my garage and was pleased with the low noise and low bounce. The std spring clips held just fine, although some off the other locks available might dress up the look of the bar better. The only thing I would have liked to have, would have been a couple mark locators for consistent grip and balance. I measured and wrapped two pieces of thin Velcro straps to make it easier to reference my grip position, but tape or a rubber bands would work also. I Vulcan decal sticker option would have been cool for the bar and maybe a decal would help with locating hand position better. One last thing that I like is the 2 in bar is so much more comfortable when doing squats when the bar sets across your shoulders(front) and neck(rear) the larger diameter doesn't dig in like std bars can. I hope this post encourages others to purchase a Vulcan Shorty Bar set as I did and you will be satisfied with the quality. Veterans also get a 5% discount and shipping is included.”

“This is a great axle bar for the price as long as you are looking for stubby length. I prefer the stubby length as it allows me to focus more effort on grip rather than balancing the bar. This bar really exceeded my expectations in quality. It's a solid piece of gear and the powdercoating offers just enough to keep the bar from being slick without adding too much grip.”
