BULLET PULLEY

I fell for the advertisements. It’s a great idea, but just a poor quality product for the expensive price tag. The attachment to the rack is solid and well built, but can damage rack from the metal-to-metal tightening of the rear screw. The pulleys themselves are plastic, rough, cheap, and shallow. Couldn’t believe they would use such cheap pulleys for hundreds of dollars. Not to mention, the pulleys will not stay at a fixed angle and are constantly wiggling around causing the cable to get caught and come off the pulley track. Extremely annoying and not functional. Instead, I got $40 aluminum pulleys on Amazon to try and convince myself that I could make it work. I ended up dropping the Bulley Pulleys altogether and solely using the Amazon aluminum pulleys hanging from $5 towing straps. Buy again? Sure, if it was $50 or less. Otherwise, feels like I got scammed.

The Bullet Pulley is a winner for convenience and build quality. I was lucky enough to get this as a gift, but when I later saw the cost of shipping to Australia, I almost had a heart attack. I’ve got the older version, and while it’s solid, the newer model has guards to stop the cable from jumping off the side—a smart upgrade. To be fair, I haven't really touched the dual cables yet, but that’s just down to my PPSA programming rather than the gear itself. I use it weekly, mainly for tricep push-downs and overhead extensions. I’ve never bothered with the cheap Amazon versions, but I love this thing; it's a high-quality bit of kit that delivers a smooth feel, easy to set up without taking up half the garage.

I have moved on from using these since I picked up my cable towers, but I liked them and they served a nice purpose. I think I may eventually get a VTS and use these to counter balance the weight of them.

I had such high hopes. The rack attachment is really great. Unfortunately, the pulleys don’t keep the cable on track. There are so many pulleys that can keep the cable on track when not under load, and this just isn’t it. I will still use it to train kids, but I spend so much time adjusting the cable in the pulley that it seems like a waste of time.
