I've had these for a long long time now, and they still hold up very well. As well as any other non-calibrated plate out there. They all feel even so haven't felt the need to weight each one individually in that respect. The 20kg plates are short of full width, so from the floor they've been turning my deadlifts deficit unintentionally. I'm ok with this as I don't think it's by that much anyway. They're 3x easier to grip than normal plates, and slide on and off the barbell shaft nice and easy.

Will likely survive World War 3, the definition of ""it's just our turn with it"". I've had it approaching 20 years now, and the only signs of wear on it are in the picture i.e. not much. My only criticism is that it's set up in a way where you have to have certain plates on each side. For example, 20s and 10s on one side, and 15s, 5s, 2.5s on the other. If you need more than 4 20kg plates, then you'll need another weight tree I suppose.

Solid, well made and hard to squeeze. A great tool for dipping your toe into the grip training world. Might be a bit light for those well-versed.

Hard enough for protection, soft enough for comfort. It's even got a nice cutaway so you can pretend you have a big package. Definitely helps with hip thrusts!

Docked a point on build quality, as these have become cracked somehow. It was likely not from the weights it's holding on to the bar, but from it being dropped. Despite that, they still secure well. Very good collars!

This has been used for every session, every set, every rep in my current gym. Squats, bench, deadlift, press, rows etc it's a very very solid bar. The knurling is probably a medium on the aggressive scale, much like me after a few pints. I think now, like the best of us, time has started to take its toll. There is a very very slight curve to the bar, which I wouldn't expect to get at the weights I'm lifting. There are probably alternatives available that are better at this price point, but it's still very decent and I don't think you'll be that disappointed with it.

Good, solid curl bar. Smooth to load, easy to grip. Has lasted me 7ish years now without much wear and tear. Gets the guns gunning!

Solid as a rock. Works as well as you can imagine a mini jack working. Easily stored compared to a full jack. No notes.
