These collars are a simple and convenient design for most uses. I am probably overdue to write a collar review as I own a variety. My wife and kids find these the easiest to work with and the most intuitive. My go to collar is still the Quick-Lee for one hand operation and the Husker Powerlocks for two hand operation.

I have had the 9 bar holder for a couple of years now. I use it mostly for straight bars, but I do have a trap bar in it as well. If I had more space, I would prefer a different solution. For now, I keep the more commonly used bars on the sides and the least often used bar in the center. I did add the abmat barbell cushions which are a nice touch.

This is my undisputed daily driver. The knurling is perfect. The durability is perfect. The finishes are amazing and you got to love Buddy Capps. Despite owning a variety of Olympic bars from several vendors, I always come back to this. It is a must buy!

These are much harder than you would think. I could do pull-ups from them at one time. Now I just do holds for time. Having a basement gym, they are easy to keep out of the way. As far as programming, I usually do them between sets.

I am an IronMind fanboy and like this piece. However, I do not find myself using it often. It mostly collects dust, but I do throw it in as a finisher after arms or a grip session.

I bought this on the secondary market and it has held up pretty well. Mine is loaded to 135 pounds which is a good weight for me as the weight sits closer to your chest than it does with cylindrical sandbags.

I gave this 5 stars across the board, because it does perform well, great value and high build quality. However, I cannot recommend this piece. I used it a lot for stability squats, stability push-ups and one leg stuff when I first got it, but after a month, I lost interest. Great piece of equipment, but I do not program it in enough to recommend.

I love the branding on Hammer Strength equipment and am fortunate to own two of these plate trees. They are commercial grade, but definitely overkill for a home gym. I purchased mine on the secondary market for less than $100 each. Retail of $400+ is prohibitively expensive for most of us.
