These live up to the hype. American made, but with the value of foreign plates. Accurate and comfortable to handle, if I wasn’t using vintage plates as my daily drivers, these would be all over my gym. They really set a standard everyone else should Chase.

Same quality as the REP LB change plates, just in KG.

Great bumper plates and a good price. Basic, no frills, and accurate. Exactly what I needed to supplement my vintage York 15kg - 25kg plates.

Great quality. I picked up a pair of 1lb to leave on my 15kg Smith bar, so I know it’s sitting at 35lb before I add plates.

As others have said, way better for adding character to a vintage display, or as a cool chalk bowl base, than actual squat stands. Don’t pay the inflated eBay prices, just watch FB marketplace and you’ll occasionally find them for a good price.

I credit this group with thinking about stones as a workout implement. They really work you in ways other equipment misses. Most of mine come from farmland in the Midwest.

So many uses, I love these little guys. I do wish they were a little more firm, but I can trim down stall mats for that purpose too.

Love the grip on these. Not an everyday use for me yet, but fun to change up my routine. High quality, and exactly the awesome customer support I’ve come to expect from Darko.
