I bought this for $149 shipped, which is just a crazy deal. I don't want/need crazy knurling and it threads the needle on that. I use it for primarily powerbuilding, it being the main bar for all of my barbell movements. Packaging came absolutely wrecked, basically just a bare bar. With that said, the bar survived better than anything else it was traveling with.
This might be a "me issue" but I didn't take into consideration how far the name plate/crossbar took space down the uprights so it drove the usable space for the dock lower than I would prefer. However, its in my rack and I use it for bar storage.
