Great Set

Date:April 30, 2013
"Great quality for the price. Having a carry case is nice and handy.
Just be warned that there is not actually 40 lbs worth of weights.
There are 4 -5lbs
There are 4 -2.5lbs
Thats a total of 30 lbs
Apparently the 2 bars are suppose to have the weight of 10 lbs making the combined weight of 40 lbs. Not a chance.
Either way I like this set and use it daily.

Love these weights

Date:February 28, 2013
"These weights have everything I want. I'm already muscled so all I want is to cut my body into shreds. I'm building a home-gym this summer and this will probably be my most useful tool along with the spin-lock barbell + ez bar. If you look-up a famous lifter, actually, the father of modern weightlifting Eugen Sandow, you'll see you don't necessarily need heavy weights to achieve perfection.
To finish this off, MUST HAVE for any home-gym.
-Inexpensive
-Nice construction
-5 stars

Great product, great deal

Date:February 28, 2013
"Got these yesterday and I love them! Great deal, way more affordable than the hex ones. The thread is about 4" and the collars are 6/8". Keeping it balanced, you can "make" a single dumbbell any increment of 5 lbs up to and including 35 lbs, amazing for $50"

Solid and Shiny! Great deal!

Date:February 23, 2013
"Got them today, they feel very solid and will fit most platters. I had an old set which had broken spinlocks and their platters fit these set perfectly. If you are planning to buy them, I would recommend getting extra platters since each dumbbell only comes with 20lbs(5+5+2.3+2.3+.4lbs). The case is very durable, I dragged the set from the store all the way through the subway. For beginners this is the best set I've seen so far."

Can't Say Enough

Date:February 8, 2013
"Like everyone else is saying: solid, durable, sturdy and quiet (no clanking or wobbling), compact, and totally affordable. Looks and feels like quality. Don't waste your money on a more expensive set more cheaply made. All the bang for your buck! Couldn't be more happy with it."

Better than what I was expecting

Date:November 17, 2012
"I wanted to do some light weight training after my runs but didn't want to spend a load of money. For the price, I can't complain at all. They do the job and are sturdy. Perfect for beginners. I bought them about 6 weeks ago and have used them 3-4x/week and have had no issues. Definitely recommend. They even come in their own plastic case making it easy to store out of the way."

Actually a great product

Date:November 1, 2012
"Great quality, great look, can't see ever needing to actually throw these out.
I bought these because I'll be in a wheel chair for the next three or so months, and I'm bored out of my mind. Might be ripped by the time time I'm out.
I don't know how the price relates to others on the market."

Solid and affordable

Date:October 22, 2012
"Purchased this set for roughly $50 in store. Was not disappointed by the quality or value, considering there are two dumbbell bars included. Other steel plates will fit on to the bars, so these are great for beginners."

Great Quality

Date:August 24, 2012
"I bought these based solely on the reviews I read here. My work out area is squeezed between a freezer and dog kennel. This pack up nice and compact when I am done. Even the case is built very sturdy. After 2 weeks I can say great investment!"

Nice Dumbbells

Date:April 28, 2012
"I got these when I saw the good reviews online and true enough they are pretty decent and does the job. I lift weights before but just for fitness and when I migrated here in Canada I was surprised to see these because they look like the ones I used back home PLUS the case.
Sweet deal!"

Doesn't get better than this!

Date:February 10, 2012
"I've had this for about 1 year now and its the best fitness equipment I've bought. You can easily change the weights by spinning the lock on both sides. This is perfect for people who can't buy the entire weight set, as this takes up hardly any space and the weights are easily changeable."

Sturdy with quality

Date:October 17, 2010
"I bought this item 2 weeks ago and I was quite impress with the quality of the product. The handle bars and its locks are properly designed and prevents any weight movement. Therefore, no annoying noises and no feeling of insecurity that the weights are gonna fall off.
This is perfect for home gym!"

Perfect for me

Date:January 22, 2010
"Asked for and received as a gift. These are perfect for me. Takes up no space and can be used as one 40lb weight (or any weight) when case is closed. Had been suffering from partial numbness and use of right arm for 2 years now, so wanted something versatile, and this is just great. Just a few exercises with right arm every morning with varying weights and the pain I've had for 2 years is completely gone - GREAT"
