Compared to normal plate loaded dumbbells these are iffy. If you don't mind taking more time to load them up and then tighten them then these are great. They are very good for heavy loading as they'll stay nice and tight and won't wobble and you can set them on your legs w/out putting a hole in them. I'd recommend getting them in addition to a normal plate loaded db for heavy lifting. Don't let them be your first.

If you need a starting pair of adjustable DBs then these are the way to go. These got me into lifting and I still use them for lighter work. Hopefully you'll outgrow them eventually, but until you get that strong these are perfect. They can get wobbly and the plates sometimes fall off or don't get hooked great sometimes, but just take care of them and you'll be just fine.

Knurled axles are the future. Highly recommend getting one. You know where to put your hands and you actually have grip while pressing and some traction while cleaning it up your chest.

If you have a T-2 rack I'd recommend getting these for the outside of it. I wouldn't trust them to save my life, but they'll work for holding weight to lift off. Get the pin and pipe safeties if you squat and bench on the inside.

Works great for a deadlift jack. Bolts come loose a lot quicker than most deadlift jacks. But for the price that is very forgivable.

It isn't the best buffalo bar. Knurling is horrible which is kinda important for these bars. The collars do not rotate well and they're very sticky making it worse. If you need a cheap buffalo bar I'd look elsewhere.

They're very loud which if you don't care that's totally fine then. They are not tight fitting to the bar at all. They shake a lot at the top. That being said if you need a cheaper wagon wheel these are great. I'd go for marketplace for cheaper vs. buying new or just wait for a sale which Titan does often.

It's wobbly and feels cheap which it is. This is an old item from Titan before they stepped up their game. I've never seen the price, but I wouldn't even buy it on marketplace for $200 if you want to stay safe and uninjured.
