Got mine for 20 bucks off marketplace so not sure exactly on value. I love the painted rings and short length. Nice that it has an end cap with the weight on it too.

I guess this bar is a bit controversial? I bought the Rogue version, which I do wish was a bit cheaper, especially given some of the finish details on it - powder coated handles on a $900 bar (after fees) hurts a bit. The pop pins on the angle bracket are cheap plastic. The sleeve pins are tractor supply. The angle bracket is very high quality with their duracoat or whatever, laser cut stainless, well machined sleeves but no end caps. At 5 or 600 bucks this would almost be a no brainer. I spent another couple hundred with JD Gym Equipped to get stainless handles with matching sleeve adjustment pins and pop pins. His sleeve pins (weight stack pins) and pop pins are particularly affordable and really bring the level of finish up on this bar to where should be in the first place. Functionally it's great. I use the low bar setting for good morning, ssb for...ssb, and front squat/high bar for a narrow stance squat. You can flip the sleeves around to store more compactly. It's heavy for some people but in line with other squat bars. Hard to recommend to most people just due to the price and those nitpicks.

Got this as a BOGO during Black Friday for my wife, but I find myself using it constantly pressing, rowing, and front squats since it's our only bar without center knurl. Tight build and more grippy knurl than the ohio bar in my experience (not power bar), and less expensive than Rogue's "men's" bars. No complaints, highly recommend.

The Goldilocks deadlift bar. More give and better knurl than the Rogue bar (can't speak to Kabuki or AB) and standard across strength sports. Can't go wrong. Pick up a used one if you can.

If you find one of these bars, buy it. My favorite squat bar (small sample size but still) and super fun to bench with too. It's long, heavy, unwieldy, sometimes flips in the rack, and you'll keep it for life I guarantee.

Compared to bars of similarly high build quality the price isn't bad at all (Uesaka, Eleiko, etc). Functionally, the price probably isn't justifiable for many people compared to Rogue or others. The details on it are nice, the knurl rings are crisp. It's a great daily bar that won't tear your hands up no matter how many sets and reps you're doing.

I agree with Big Brett, great bar with a price to match. The inside grip in particular is more comfortable than any other EZ curl bar I've used. Everybody that visits loves the slide locks, and I must say I never use any other collars on this bar so they serve their purpose well.
