This is most definitely a budget trap bar. As others have mentioned, it has a limited weight capability. But as long as you do not drop it and keep it under 400lbs, it works fine. I am no power lifter, so for me it does what I need. I do deadlifts and use it for farmers walks up and down the dirt driveway. You get what you pay for.

Doesn't hold much weight due to the short sleeves, it very high due to the both the legs and the high handles, and the legs bent pretty quickly when my son dropped it with 300 lbs. Fine for light shrugs or farmers carries, which is mostly why I wanted it. Second worst budget buy I have made, after the CAP open trap bar I bought to replace this one (the open one is even worse). Someday I will get a real trap bar...

It worked as a Covid stop gap trap bar. Small, easy to load, picks up weight plates. If max capacity isn’t a concern and you don’t want the hassle of loading a traditional hex trap bar, this is fine. Not worth over $100.

It’s cheap, has a low weight limit of 400lbs I have overloaded this about 50lbs and no issues. It is small and compact, but for the price it’s great
