Hubs are a little loose. On par with a lot of imported plates, but more expensive

This is a very solid, old-school squat rack. The J cups are a solid design that take a little bit of effort to move, but you get used to it pretty quickly. The main complaint I have with the rack is that anytime you move the pin safety it makes an extremely loud screech as you slide them through the holes

These are very cool plates. Hubs are nice and fairly tight, outer lip is really nice, but the outer diameter is slightly smaller than other plates. I will eventually do a proper restoration on these.

To be fair, saw tooth racks are not my thing. This one is worse than most. The saw teeth are not lined in anyway, the safeties are difficult to adjust, and the rubber coating on the top of the safeties does not last. The rubber fell off both safeties during the first month that my gym had this. This is definitely not a commercial quality rack, and I wouldn’t want it in my home gym either.

This thing is better than it gets credit for. My son (13 y/o) is a competitive wrestler and I picked this up as a fun neck training device for him to use under supervision. The adapter for 1-2inch plates had some burrs on it, but otherwise built quality is good. It’s a nice, midrange option for neck training.

These went on steep discount and are very available on the secondhand market. They are excellent and almost overbuilt for what they are. My 50lb slam ball lives in one of these and it’s been rock solid.

I have no beef with this. For about 7 years, my daughter has used this for dance, tumbling and gymnastics. It’s light, durable and inexpensive.

If the hook were even slightly bigger, these would be perfect. Great for collars, odds and ends, and TV remotes
