I used to have a bunch of these, but I ended up selling them and replacing them with change plates from TSC. They are VERY accurate, but they're also featureless discs and aren't very thick. The increased diameter wasn't ideal because I was using them for loadable dumbbells. If you're using them as barbellchange plates it shouldn't be an issue

A little pricey, but they're well made and have held up over the years. Especially good for folks who are bad at pressing and need those small incremental increases

It's cheap and it works. I've had mine for six years and no issues. Included some micro gainz plates in the photo for scale

Got an already cut open keg from a buddy. I put a 1.5" flange at the bottom and build up some pipe with a bunch of sand on the side to support it. I can load some more plates in there to make it heavier if needed. Feel free to reach out if you're looking to make something similar.

The outside is fairly slick, but stone gauntlets help immensely. I think it's about 100 lbs empty, and I've gotten an extra 275 or so I there (just be careful with your chin). Also, just because you can pickup a bunch of weight in this doesn't mean you can do it with the real Husafell stone. This also makes a great place to put all your Crü stickers.

Got it for dirt cheap during one of their sales, would definitely purchase again. No issue with it mechanically, but I think I've only put about 600 on there, so take that for what it's worth. One of the plastic inserts for the cross member was broken on mine, and Titan couldn't replace it at the time because they didn't have spares. More of a Titan shipping issue than anything, but still not great.

Got them because they passed the "they're too cheap for me to make a DIY option" test. They are extremely humbling when you first use them. My only dig is the cut line isn't the straightest in the world, but they still go on the bar with no issues.

Been using two different pairs for the last five years. I use them for almost every workout for something and they still lock up tight.
