Very nice build quality overall. It's a bit wobbly and would benefit from a second pin or some UHMWPE, but it's nothing a 2x6 and a clamp can't fix. Someone also suggested using a plastic wedge to keep it from moving.

I originally got mine to hang barbells, but it found a better life on the Cart of Many Uses (mostly dumbbell loading). Some of the fasteners are rusting a bit, but it's in good condition after years of use

I've mounted and remounted this thing every time I've changed my gym around and it still looks great. Even holds bars like your SS Yoke! UHMWPE inserts keep the bars nice and scratch free.

I got the black version off of Amazon about a year ago. Knurling isn't fantastic, but you can't beat the price. Kind of hard to screw up a straight bar that's got a bit of knurling to it.

Holy crap where do I begin. My first shipment was missing spacers and fasteners. I was missing three of the four set screws that keep the arm in the bearing and the bolts that attached the bearing to the mount were all loose. The pad attachment also bent after the first use. I got a second unit and some of the missing pieces were included, but not all. I've been going back and forth with them on email for about three weeks now. I assume that their customer support is not in the US based on the time that they respond and the frequency (or lack thereof). I've been able to make it useable with my own 3d prints and other jury rigging, but my time and money would have been better spent on another option. Long story short, do NAAAHHHHT get one of these.

I had one for a while, but ended up selling it. I didn't like how it rocked back and forth with more weight, so you may want to weigh the legs down to prevent that. The spring clamps that come with it are...spring clamps. It still takes up a decent amount of space when it's folded up, especially for how specific it is. It's tough to justify having one piece of equipment that isn't very versatile if you're already short on space. I'm not knocking the movement itself, it just seems like something that you'd want to do on a fixed piece of equipment

This thing is BEEEEEFY. You could do a truck pull with this thing, nevermind the relatively small metal sled that I got with it.

Got a Hybrid mold for 250 off of Amazon and it came out great. Lots of guides online, just make sure youre spending time to add extra clamps, vibrate concrete and patch voids versus taking shortcuts; it'll look a lot better in the end.
