Not good, first of all it took just under 3 months from the time I ordered these for the to be delivered to my doorstep, however, for my review the long wait time doesn't impact the rating. I ordered both a set of 1" and a set of 5/8". To begin the magnets strength is very poor, I tried taking a picture the best shows how close I can get the head of the pin to the post without the magnets pulling it onto the post. The magnets are these small cylinders inserted into the inside of the pin head. For comparison, I have Bells of Steel, Vendetta, and Oak Club magpins and all of them have stronger magnets. Also the tip of the pins for some reason flat, so when I insert the magpins often I hit the inside of the post and have to jiggle it to find the hole to come out the other side. On a positive note, the design for the head of the pin is nice and very functional for pulling, however, with the weak magnets makes the functional design unnecessary. For a similar design magpin with better magnetic strength I recommend Vendetta pins, for a better value magpin I recommend Bells of steel magpins.

Great design, good craftsmanship, but the magnets are too strong, I find myself having to pull really hard to take these out. Again the the matte black finish is great, the built washer is a nice touch, but it's hard to justify the $98 price tag for a set. The bells of Steel are my go to magpins and they are significantly cheaper.

Used primarily for stretching (vs resistance band training) I love these bands, a key part of my mobility work.

I've had these floss bands for a while, primarily used for nagging joint pains to combat inflammation.

This was a perfect solution for my loadable dumbbells, wall mounted UHMW to protect the dumbbells. Overbuilt?, yes, but still compact.

Overall, it's a well designed bar, the built-in locking collar system is unique and very functional, the knurling is passive but since I primarily use it for cleans and snatches they work well for me. I bought it used for $600 and I still feel it was too expensive.

These are my favorite 1" magpins, magnets isn't too strong, why prefer these over my Oak Club 1" magpins. Also the price comes in at a great value, the more sets of pins you buy the cheaper they are, initially bought 4 trying them out, wish I bought 8.

Bought used for my son, knurling is passive enough, sleeves being short spin nicely and consistently. The weight plates from loadable dumbbells fit perfectly and recessed flush with the sleeve collars.
