I have some 25s, 10s, and 5s like the ones pictured. Durable and extremely accurate weight. Far better than basic cap plates (of which I also have, the 45 is a full 0.5 pound heavy). To compare these to Cap plates is crazy talk.

Bought this second-hand for about 1/2 the new price, so keep that in mind. Compact and does the job, but very passive knurling. My teenager likes using it, and they do a lot of trap bar work with school sports. The bottom handles are nice for storing it upright and saving space, but not really to hold the bar while loading, like I thought they might be. Not sure if I would pay full price for it, but if you can pick one up at a discount, I think it's a worthy addition to the home gym. 3 starts on value, as I think at full price for a few bucks more you could pick up something more robust.

Lightweight and easy to use, but not as tough as more expensive collars might be. The locking mechanism wears out, although Rogue did send me a replacement screw, which got them working again. However they can slip on heavy weights. OK for light work, stick with something more heavy duty for heavy deadlifts.

Bought mine second hand and it has been great for squat training. It is getting to the point where the padding is breaking down a bit, if I had to guess the bar is about 5 years old or so. Also comes in at an odd weight of around 62-63lbs. Bar itself is in great shape, would consider replacing the padding at some point if that is an option.

It's a power bar, what else does it need to do? I have had mine for close to 6 years and it has held up well with proper maintenance. I have the bare steel version and I would say that in a humid climate opting for some sort of finish might be a good decision, but with a bit of care it's holding up just great. Solid knurling, but less aggressive than some other bars.
