Ader Olympic Dumbbell Handles w/Chrome Training Collars (Sold As One Pair)

These handles are of a professional grade very heavy and stout, I bought dumbbells in pairs from 5 to 30 lbs. and wanted these for heavy weight. First out of the box you slowly and carefully thread the screws into the collars "gently". I used WD-40 on the first go and they are smooth and secure. I never back them out too far and never tighen too much. They seem to hold fine I put 40 lbs. on one side and held it down vertically and shook it to see if they slipped and it did not. You may be tempted to use a tool to tighten the collar but it is not needed. the only draw back is the shape is awkwardly long, I am able to do incline and flat bech press excellently by turning my fists inward at the top of the exercise. great also for a heavy bent-over dumbbell row. Not so hot for behind the head standing tricep extensions... Delivered within three days from Texas to Florida. Again a pro's tool for body building when you have no room for every increment from 30 to 90 lbs. in a dumbbell collection. Works good with average 2.5, 5, and 10 lb Oly plates, I get four tens on each side no problem. Recommend this product if it fits your needs!

My only complaint about these is that the diameter of the grip is pretty small. Doesn't really challenge your grip at all, which I guess could be both a pro or con, depending on what you're looking for. Having said that, I've loaded these up with an additional 115lbs so far with no trouble (plus the weight of the dumbbell). I've been able to fit 2x 25lb plates, a 5lb plate, and a 2.5lb plate on each side. I think you might be able to get up to 3x 25lb plates on each side while still utilizing the collars that came with the dumbbell, but I haven't tried this yet. The collars aren't great, but they work. They're just a pain to get on and off if you really tighten them down, and they take up quite a bit of valuable real estate on the ends of the dumbbells.At the end of the day, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase these again. They seem sturdy enough to hold any of the weight I'll be using, at least for the foreseeable future. The collars work to keep the weight from sliding off, even if they are a bit of a pain ot use. These dumbbells fill a gap, since my gym's dumbbells only went up to 100lbs. I only wish the diameter of the grip were a tad bit larger so I actually had to use my grip a bit to hold the weight.

Finish was peeling off right out of the box. Constant little flakes all over my home gym. They are sturdy and functional and I needed a set asap so I didn't return them. They at least are not flaking where you hold them just the ends that the weights go on. If I needed another set I would not buy these.

These work fine as dumbbells, but watch out for the clips. They're quite tedious to use, you tighten a pin into the bar to lock it, and it is hard, and time consuming to lock it tight enough.Do yourself a favour and grab a couple of pairs of clips (I have a pair of Cap clips, and a pair of Valeo clips) to go with these. Otherwise they're too much of a pain to use. But with the clips they are fine, adjustable dumbbells.EDIT: After using them for a while I'd like to also point out that the handles are quite a bit thinner than an olympic bar. I don't know if this is standard or not, but if you are hoping to use them for grip work, the smaller handle makes it quite a bit easier to hold onto.

Comes with online 1 bar and didn't come with the clips. The quality seems fine but I'm not paying 70$ for 1 dumbell without the clips.

Solid construction at an unbeatable price. Kudos to the seller who expertly utilized flat rate priority shipping for quick delivery to Hawaii! Easily accommodates three 25lbs plates each side for heavy chest presses, shrugs, rows. Handle fits fat grips if you need to know. Collars can be replaced with muscle clamps or anything else, so don't take the basic included collars into account. However, with the included collars,I've done overhead triceps extensions doubling up the collars each side with 75lbs, no problem...but I'd still tell my training partner to watch their toes ;).

This is a top-quality Olympic sized dumbbell handle. Note that I said handle and not handles... there is only one. If you want a pair you need to buy two of these (as I did).*** Pros ***- Great quality- Fit is right for Olympic sized plates (these will not work with the "standard" plates with the smaller holes)- End spin freely- The grip is a good size for dumbbell work*** Cons ***- The clamp is garbage, and if you assume upfront it will go directly into the garbage and you won't be disappointed. Get yourself some muscle clamps when you buy this.- They are very long. This is the correct design so you can fit lots of plates on them... and any good handle would be equally wide, I just don't love how long all of them are.

These barbells are terrific, but the clamps that came w/ them are very hard to get tight enough so the don't slide off which could lead to injury. I almost dropped 25 lb plates on my toe twice the 1st day I used these. But since then I realize you have to really crank them down & check them to make sure the weight isn't gonna slide. The clamps actually came in really handy because the clamps I ordered wouldn't fit olympic size bars & I had to send them back, so now I just use a set of the clamps that came w/ these on my long bar & my curl bar.
