Great addition to my gym, a bit pricey, but buy once..., storage was my biggest concern with my initial purchase, but it inspired me to build out my pegboard wall. Versatile, well built anda beautiful piece of workout gear.

Made by Abmat, this pad has 2 sides, a soft (absorbent side) and a hard side. My wife got this to replace the barbell foam wrap. She definitely feels is was an upgrade and she has no fears of the barbell rolling off.

These are a white labeled product, because they are magnetic and have a thin profile, I only use them with these collars with my loadable dumbbells and I haven't had any issues with them (as in the plates don't slide. I also don't drop these dumbbells so the collars haven't been fully tested.

I went out of my way to get these pins, I wanted to replace the standard orange handled pull pins my Rogue foldable bench came with. Because of the head design on the pin I can pull the pin with 2 fingers instead of wrapping my fingers around the head of the pin. Also the extra lengthy pin shaft better secures the pin in place. Strongly recommend.

Personally I hate the upright vertical barbell holder mount, takes up floor space, scratches up barbell sleeves and I hate lifting the barbell to remove it from the holster. The spacing between barbells are good the UHMW attachment protects the barbells. I spaced mine out to hold an ez curl bar and my son's OSO barbell.

A good budget option for magnetic pins, but understand the magnets aren't the strongest on the market, hence the additional cotter pins that are provided. Also these were shipped in an cardboard envelope (non-bubble wrap insulated) and they dinged up and scratched up from what I hoping was shipping (and not used).

Similar to the 12.5" plate storage, they are solid, but will easily scratch over time, if that matters to you invest int the hard chrome storage pins (Vesta makes a good one). Also depending on the plates, the nut holding the pin in place may scratch your plates.

I originally bought this for my son to work on his grip strength and practice his hanging from a pull-up bar. Since then I bought a UDA and I just use one of the 18" stainless steel knurled handles for him to hang off. It attaches and detaches very easily but the tolerance is a bit loose since there is no UHMW lining and there is metal on metal contact if that's important to you. However once you are hanging off of it, your body weight holds it in place and there is no really wiggle.
