I really like this Dumbbell set. It has nice feel to the texture.
And although plastic, (or perhaps vinyl), they don’t feel cheap.
The set looks good, too. I like the Orange and Black look, compared to the other Red and Black sets available.
I also really like that you can spin the orange locking nuts on by giving them a good hard spin – and they'll keep going – sometimes all the way on, (depending on how hard you initially spin them), without having to constantly keep turning and cracking them all the way on. (Same with removing them.)
The orange locking nuts have 2 opposing 'extended nubs' on them, to aid in cranking them down tight.
There is a foam-padded area on the center bar that would touch or rest on the back of your neck, when using the bar fully extended with both arms.
The two shorter individual threaded bars turn in quite far – all the way into the center bar for added stability.
There are also 2 Kettle Ball Handles, and a dedicated Kettle Ball End Piece, which helps me keep a controlled grip on them, when slowly and carefully using the weights to dip behind my back and shoulders, (among other alternate exercises).
The spacious openings of the Kettle Ball Handles are plenty wide enough, as well, (if two hands are required or preferred), allowing for different positions to hold, grasp, and maneuver them.
For a really good product, it’s very well priced, compared to the other options available.
I’m happy with the set!
[One Word of Caution: I would caution against dropping them, though, as they are most likely filled with sand, (or something similar), and could therefore crack and split open, if dropped from high enough up.
There is a bit of a slippery feel to them to be aware of.]
Each Dumbbell arrived individually protected in its own soft sleeve.
