These are a great value if you're like me and have no idea how you've acquired them. They hold just well enough to keep plates on the bar if you can keep the lean to a nice 5 degrees or less. If you have any other use case, you'll need literally any other collar.

This is a recent purchase, on sale for about $300. The geometry and pad are very nice, but Titan has copied the gold standard and it's not surprising. My biggest gripes are pretty minimal. I don't like the chrome plating, and the handles and rubber grips really want to come off all the time. I've easily fixed that with some temp. loctite and some glue, so no big deal.

I've used this barbell at the local YMCA for about a year before building out my home gym. There wasn't much competition, but this was my favorite by far. I have no idea what these things cost but they are high quality, with medium knurling, and take chalk really well for a secure grip. It's whippier than a power bar, and at least on the one I was using, the rings are in a nonstandard location (narrower than PL rings).

I'm giving this thing perfect marks, because it costs basically nothing, and it does the job I was hoping it would do. It may not stand up to as much use as traditional boards, but it'll only see really light use and I won't have to drag my wife in to help me.

I won this as a prize in GGC Fall 20225. They go for somewhere between just under to just over $300 for a high quality American made general-purpose bar, coming in maybe $50 less than Rogue or TPB's comparable bars. I wanted to opt for a barbell significantly different from the powerbar I already have, so I asked for a blue cerakote with needle bearings. The knurling is very nicely done. Very clean, somewhere between passive and medium on this cerakote version. Really good spin to the sleeves. I don't yet do any cleaning or other dynamic movements, but I'm hoping to get more into that since I have this.

I've got the 5 barbell hanger. Not much to not like about it.

The detent balls have fallen out of about half of my BOS pins, and have gotten stuck on several of the remaining ones. The stuck balls make it a pain to get these in and out of the rack. As a pin, they work fine. The magnets are great.

They're really cheap, but one of mine is cracked at the hinge, and the magnets could really stand to be a lot stronger.
