I was quite impressed with the quality of this bar. It was purchased for my mother to have a lower starting weight on pushing exercises. The shaft is aluminum and the sleeves are steel. The spin of the bar is very fluid, with no clanking radially or axially. The knurling is also nicely aggressive, about on par with an Ohio Power Bar.

The current options on the market, while amazing, didn't have the capacity to hold a full 6 pack of brewskies, or 45 pounds of American Iron. With this XXL model you don't need to be limited by things like practicality.

I used this to add a foot plate for rows onto my Bells of Steel plate loaded cable tower. It's functional but definitely not high quality. The hinge and pin mechanism has enough slop that when it's locked open the pads sweep back a few degrees, and it's somewhat difficult to get the pin holes to line up.

It's strong, sticky, comfortable, lightweight, easy to move around, and stands well on it's end. It was also a great value at $180 when I picked it up.

It's fun bar to play with, but not especially useful.

The stainless stump bar is the most used bar in my gym. The knurling has a great sticky feeling, and the short length makes getting around it in my small bedroom gym way easier. The sleeve will just barely fit three deep dish plates with a lock jaw mostly on the bar.

I think I got the last one of these Titan ever made from the scratch and dent sale. It's an extremely specialized piece, but it's a lot of fun and very sturdy.

These are nice high quality plates that were accurately weighted and a good value. The 35 and 45 also have enough of a hub for hub lifting. The only downside I had is to hit final weight they would machine the outer diameter, and a couple of my plates are a noticeably smaller diameter because of that.
