AboveGenius 16" Olympic Dumbbell Handles, Solid Steel Loadable Weight Bars for 2-Inch Plates, Adjustable Home Gym Strength Training Equipment (Includes 4 Spring Collars)

I wanted to add dumbbells to my workouts, and since we have Oly plates, it made sense to get Oly dumbbells. I'm only 5'4" with small hands, so I prefer a shorter dumbbell, and after considering all the 15" and 16" handles, I chose these AboveGenius Pair of 16" Olympic Dumbbell Handles based on the price, the reviews and the 16 inch length. They arrived in a box that was falling apart, but they were fine - the ends are wrapped in plastic and packed in foam, which is nice. Nothing had any smells or issues, although the manual was torn in 2 places. The handles looked good with no scratches or other damage at all. I weighed each one, and each weighed 7.1xx pounds, very close to the same weight as one another although not the 8.3 pounds listed in the description. The collar spin is good for 'bells at this price - nice, smooth spin. The end caps are snapped-in plastic, not exactly high-end, but then these are budget dumbbell handles, so that's fine. There's a little rattle in each one - I notice it, but it's not really an issue. but it's not bad. Both my 6'7" husband and me at 5'4" found them comfortable to use. If you like grooved collars, you'll like these, and the grooves probably work really well with the spring clamps. I'm using my own clamps with the handles like I do with our other bars, but if you don't have clamps, the included ones will come in handy. I personally prefer smooth collars with quieter spin, but that's the only thing I didn't like about this pair of handles. We're really happy with these. If you're a beginner they'll be great for getting started, and if you have been using spin-lock handles, these are better and much faster to change the plates on. The knurling is passive but it's good enough to keep your hands from slipping. Overall I'd say these were 4 star dumbbell handles, but when you factor in the price - we paid $59.99 for them - I'm giving them a fifth star for value.

These feel solid and well-made, with good knurling for grip. They work great with standard Olympic plates and feel secure during workouts. A good addition to a home gym setup.

They are awesome and the handles are a little smaller, so they fit a person hand easier.

They are pretty good, they are bucky but they do wjatbthey are intended to do.

Exceptional quality! I particularly like the weight of them, thr grip, and overall length. The clips are of decent quality too
