These are fine collars but only for barbell lifts where the weight won't be dropped. I will be honest that I forget I have them though because they're not the most convenient to hang up.

The price of this barbell can be between $120 to almost $200. At the lower prices, it's not terrible. The knurling is very passive, but as a first bar, it's fine. It's 28.5 mm, and I have had some decent weight on it before. I think it's a perfectly fine budget bar if you can find at the lower prices. Check Amazon versus the Cap barbell store, but it seems like it may not be available on Amazon anymore.

It's fine for a weight tree if you don't have a lot of plates. The horns are short, so I'm not confident in putting anything over three 45s on one side.

Probably the best budget loadable dumbbells you can get. I don't like using them except for rows, but that's just because I don't like loadable dumbbells. If you want a pair, these are fine, but the handle is a bit thin for pressing stuff.

Similar style to the Cerberus sandbags, but a bit less expensive. I like these, but they can be a bit loose depending on how you fill it. Additionally, they have a little tag on the sandbag that has the intended weight. That does help if you only fill it to the intended weight.

A unique deadlift that it has to lie flat to lift the bar, which is actually kind of annoying especially when you have a good low back pump. It does store in a smaller footprint than most deadlift jacks, but that's the only bonus. The rubber padding of the bar holders is just thin rubber that starts tearing off quickly. It's expensive for how cheap it is. I wouldn't recommend.

Decent, stable pull up bar. I did want the various angles, especially the neutral and angled handles, to help alleviate shoulder stress compared to pronated pull-ups. The inner most handles are too close together, so they're not used. The outer lost handles are wide but usable. The angled handles are pretty much the only ones I use.

Great collars for specialty bars. Not the fastest since you have to turn the screw, but you can get good tightness. I would not use this for circus dumbbell if you have 25lbs or more on one side.
