This is the gold standard of SSBs. I have used the BoS, both generations of the Titan, the Rogue and the Marrs bar. While I love the Marrs, this is the best SSB I have ever used. Great handle spacing, padding, and weight angle.

After using several crash pads, and often using tires, I can’t recommend these pads enough. The length, durability and the cushioning’s ability to stop a heavy log dead is gnarly. They would be hard to store in a smaller space.

Really not good. I went through several sets thinking that bands just quickly broke down, Then I got the Westside bands and they’ve held up under constant use for years. Ultimately, spending more on better bands has saved me money.

Knurling is passive, but the straight handle is comfortable. Coating does chip a little, but overall they are very durable for the price.

These mats are good for a lot of things. They are thinner than stall mats and are very dense and fairly durable. I like that they are easy to cut, and fine cutting is fairly easy with tin snips. I lined my garage floor outside of my normal gym with these mats and I’m very happy with the result. I also keep a few off to the side to drag outside for sandbags and other implements. They work well in this application because they’re lighter. The bad: they do not sipe water as well as stall mats. If you park on these you HAVE to use a tarp or other protection to keep snow/water from getting under these. Also, they are more slippery than stall mats when wet.

After using these for years for climbing applications, I realized how handy they are to have in the gym. They easily adjust the length of a handle for rows, or height of ceiling mounted hand holds, or countless other tasks. They’re darn near free, and I have no complaints about their construction. They’re the bratty little sister of daisy chains.

It’s really hard to beat these as a carabiner. I have straight gate and bent gate versions and they are all great. For the price and especially the weight, there’s not a better non-locking carabiner out there. They obviously work with daisy chains, but also work with all my pulleys and other accessories.

These kind of suck for any real weight. I bought them to hold barbells. The tornado screws work ok in a lot of walls, but don’t work great in any. They all worked loose over time. I replaced the tornado screws with real anchors and it worked ok.
