I keep several pairs of these in my office at work, just to throw around a bit when I have a little down time. These metal hex heads (or others identical to them) are often regularly available on FMP for a fraction of their retail cost, sometimes even free. They will last forever and withstand any possible abuse you can throw at them. You really can't go wrong if you're just looking for some iron to hoist.

Rubber hex head DBs are pretty much all the same, and the branding is largely irrelevant. I got a bunch of these when I first started my home gym. I've used them a ton, but now I've started replacing them with York roundheads. The rubber ones are relatively inexpensive, but they are also functionally limiting esp. in the larger sizes, like around 75 lb and up. The heads start to get so bulky that they limit range of motion. You can't get as low as you want for an overhead press or as close together in the center of a bench DB fly. These are great for the smaller denominations but don't waste your money on the bigger sizes. Even when the Black Friday deals of offering free shipping and these are going for less than $1/lb, its no bargain if they're just paperweights in a corner.

A very useful little training bar for the minions in your life. My little ankle biters have gotten a lot of use out of this thing and it still looks like new. Only weighs 22 lb. so it is useful for teaching technique and getting the smallest ones doing some play-training. My 5 year old loves to deadlift with this bar and the 9 year old favors it for her benching. The sleeves will catch in the J hooks on the rack but the barbell itself is not rackable in the traditional sense. It's definitely not a top build quality bar, but it is super cheap and when you're just teaching little ones the basics, it is more than adequate for the job.

I added these to the gym when my kids starting insisting on joining me. The littlest ones are really only playing, but they still want to go through the motions. For the 5 year old, these combine well with a 5 lb training bar to teach the fundamentals of bench press and other upper body movements. My 11yo is benching with a real bar and plates, but every few weeks he hits new PRs and these fractional plates have helped a lot in boosting his confidence to jump up to the next 5 lb weight increment. I have the colored versions and like those better than the chrome; much faster to know which is which just based off color, don't even need to look for the tiny text showing the weight. An inexpensive and useful addition to the gym.

Solidly built, spins smoothly. No complaints. Very heavy triceps pushdowns feel quite stable. Good short bar for pronated or supinated movements with elbows in tight to the core.

Well built and inexpensively priced, these are a great deal. They are far more comfortable and steady than the cheap nylon strap handles that came with the Major Fitness Drone rack. The grips lock into the hand well and rotate smoothly, taking grip issues out of the lift and letting you concentrate on the movement. A big improvement for cable flies compared to the nylon handles.

An inexpensive way to add a bit more wrist motion or extra range of motion to some of your most popular triceps and biceps exercises. I use it a lot: face pulls, overhead extensions, pushdowns, cable curls, cable crunches, twist extensions, etc. You can use both sides for bilateral movements, or just let one side catch against the carabiner to turn it into a unilateral rope.

Simple way to add chains to your workouts. For $30 you can't go wrong. They are tough and hold the sleeves easily. I don't even screw them down, as the weight of the chains seems to cause more than enough friction to keep the collars from sliding around; I've never had them try to slide off the sleeves during a set. My only issue with them is the comparatively small carabiner mounted on them, which fills with chain quite quickly, limiting the number of links you can hold at once. My solution to this was to buy a few more inexpensive carabiners, loop the links through them and then mount two or three or four biners to the one on this unit, depending on needs. This works well for me.
