First off, let me say they are not perfect. I have on occasion had the issue of plates getting stuck and having to readjust the cradle, which is exacerbated if your floor is not perfectly level. That said I'm still giving them five stars because I just love these things. They feel better than any dumbbell I've ever used with fantastic knurling, are extremely compact, and the sliding mechanism just is extremely satisfying. Personally, I don't find the rails to be an issue and I actually like using them as a grip for French press and pullovers. As a tip, you can use the power block powermax stand for them, which includes a way to hold the adder weights as a cheaper alternative to the Rep stand when you find them on sale.

Fantastic value calibrated plates when on sale. I really like the silver lettering/design and the lip makes them easier to handle. Picked them up on Black Friday for $2.20 a pound with a free power bar, singlet, and sleeves. Only issue is Beware Hansu customer service. It was supposed to come with a power bar for free, and I haven't received it even 4 months later with a long email thread going back and forth saying they'll send it soon.

Amazing smith machine. It is incredibly well built and smooth, and feels great to use, Only complaint is the knurling on the black diamond bar is far more passive then their actual black diamond power bar. Not the end of the world, it is a smith bar and still feels better then most, but a bit disappointing.

I love this attachment for T bar rows. The rotating handles feel great; knurl feels great, easy to adjust width. The whole thing is well built and screams quality construction. The only downside is that it's real heavy/bulky, which can be a pain to store and a bit unwieldy to set up overhead when using for lat pull downs. Feels great once set up though. That and it's pricey for an attachment at $200 after promo codes, but they didn't seem unreasonable when feeling the build quality.

Had this and sold it. It's well made with a solid knurl, but its fatal flaw is it's just too long, which depending on your set up can really limit your ROM. I have an Ares 1.0 and the length of this attachment just didn't work with the low row. I'm much better off with either just the included bar or a shallower mag grip or shallow V grip.

This is a fantastic barbell. Build quality and tolerances are excellent. The knurl is the best you can find in a power bar, though I haven't tried the fabled chewy bar. The high TPI mountain style makes it very grippy and feel great without being overly sharp. I went for stainless with chrome sleeves, which was a great value at $310 over Black Friday; but even at full price it's a great bar IMO.

It's a good budget cambered Swiss bar. Likes: 1. I prefer the knock off kabuki style with progressive camber over rep or titan where the middle handles aren't cambered. 2. I got the V2 version with decent knurl. 3. It gets the job done. Let's be honest, this is a bar you take out once in a while. It makes a lot more sense to me to use this (got it for $140 on sale) and save some money for other things in the gym. Dislikes: Build quality and powder coat are fine, not amazing. I'm happy with it for the price. Don't buy it at full price, wait for a sale.
