CAP Barbell Olympic Dumbbell Handles | Multiple options

I got two of the Chrome No Collar dumbbells (with 2-inch Olympic ends), and they are working well. I use CAP brand Olympic weights, Clout Fitness clamps to hold the weights on, and blue Fat Gripz. No problems at all. The dumbbells match each other, they have ribbing to keep the weights (and clamps) secure, and the knurling has good grip. The only negative I have is that there is some loose metal "soot" inside that I can hear move around rarely, but it's no problem. I've been using these for months mostly for bicep curls and overhead presses, and I recommend them.

Excellent compatibility with the cast iron plates!A pretty fair grip with the knurling as well.Collars are trash of course lol.

Initially ordered only one because I wanted to be sure I would be happy with it. This has worked great as a starter adjustable dumbbell for me to use at home regularly, isn't too long for me to use two at once despite how it looks which I was worried about. They look great!However, I have had two problems. The first is to be wary that you receive the right item, as on my second order I got a black instead of a chrome and had to return it. As other reviews point out, the collars it comes with arrive rusted out and unusable from the box. This occurred with all of my orders so far. Buy an option without the collars or plan not to use the collars it comes with, and instead buy these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZFDL9VH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsThe collars above look more or less the same as what the chrome color comes with and works just fine.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but right out of the box they are sturdy and fit all my olympic weights. With weights costing so much money these days and for the price point, these were a steal!

Works as I had hoped. Couldn't afford to buy more and more dumbbells in 5 lb increments, at $1 per pound. Now I can do it free by adding my plates. The collars tighten easily. Grip is grippy enough to where it doesn't feel slippery. Negative remarks I've read about these 2 areas seem nit picky to me. It is well designed and built. Happy with my purchase. I wouldn't put a plate larger than 10lb on it or the plate will be hitting you. I stack 2.5's, 5's, and 10's on it.

These are perfectly serviceable Olympic sized loadable dumbbell handles. It is mind boggling to me that companies like REP offer essentially the same thing for 10x the price. The downside, and I ordered the version with the black rubber grips (which seem quite durable), is that the unloaded handles themselves weigh about 7.4lbs which is odd and makes doing the math to pick the right plates more challenging. Each of the included metal collars weighs an additional 0.5lbs so the entire assembly is about 8.4lbs. If the assembly was an even 10lbs this would be a 5-star review. I know this seems like a small critique to cost 2 stars, but this is literally just weight, so, to me, this is a downside in the core purpose of the product. Your opinions may vary!

Well made

I was looking at a similar product from a "top tier" barbell company for $150, but thought I'd save some money and go with this dumbbell instead. I am sure glad I did, because the quality on this is very nice. The knurling feels good (I hate weak/smooth knurling), and it's nice and clean and looks good. Nothing about it feels cheap to me. It was well packed and arrived in perfect shape. I was also considering getting some adjustable barbells like the Bowflex 1090 or Snode AD80, but these give me all the adjustability I can wish for - you only need some olympic plates to go with them which I already had.
