Product Description

This portable pull up bar is perfect for people who don't want a big bulky "tower" that you can't move. You can assemble and disassemble the product in a minute (no tools required). It comes in 7 pieces (all under 45" in length) and fits in a 48"x8"x8" box. This product is also a "transformer". In its "normal" configuration, it is 7 feet tall, and the top bar lets you do pull ups, chin ups, and "neutral-grip" pull ups. You can adjust the height in 4" increments. In its "dipping" configuration, you take off the top half, so that the top bar is 3.5 feet high, allowing you to do dips, inclined pull ups, and and inclined push ups. Again, you can adjust the height in 4" increments. The construction is rock-solid, hand-welded by guys who make trapeze rigging that people trust their life to. The system can easily handle 350 pounds without bending. The product is made entirely of aluminum, so its lightweight but won't rust. Other pullup bars are made of steel, and can cost over $100 in shipping. Because our product only weighs 23 pounds, we can offer FREE SHIPPING. This product is proudly designed and manufactured completely in the USA.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wobbly and Unstable Pull-up bar, October 26, 2010

By

This review is from: All-in-one Stand Alone Pull up Bar (Misc.)

I purchased this pull-up bar after reading the many reviews. It was shipped very fast. But, from the very first pull-up, I knew it was not going to work for me.
First of all, it is way too short for my liking. I am only 5'9 and I had to hold my legs up so they wouldn't brush the floor when using it. Secondly, as a couple other reviews point out, the whole thing rocks around wildly while trying to do a set of pull-ups. I felt very spastic using this thing and I have been doing pull-ups for a long time.
I returned the bar via fedex, which cost me $25.00. I packed it in bubble wrap very well, and it didn't have a scratch on it, yet I was charged a $10.00 return fee by Trapeze Rigging, which they would not refund. I couldn't find any return policy posted on the website.
In the end, I wouldn't recommend this product.

I was skeptical that this bar would be sturdy enough to support my 200lbs without a lot of flexing. I was pleasantly surprised. Assembly was quick and easy. I expect to get years of service out of this piece.

If I had one wish it would be for the front and rear of the base to be connected. I pull the bar away from the wall when I want to use it and always have to realign it to get everything parallel. Two small connector pieces would solve this. I will eventually fabricate something for myself. Another alternative would be to put some kind of rubber foot on the bottom.

Second wish might be to offer an extension kit for taller people. I'm 6'4" and while it's certainly tall enough to use comfortably, I would prefer to have another foot of height.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Bar, though slightly unstable, March 17, 2010

I have been using this now for over a month. Initial installation was simple, intuitive, and quick.
Found is as mentioned in other reviews, simple functional design, great te get your upper body workout.

However since the two 'legs' do not have a connector bar, it gives an unstable sensation.
I tried swinging and playing with this and feel that as long as you are doing normal exercises the 'instability' is just a nagging feeling with minimal risk of tripping.

Overall quality is good and looks like it will last for a long time, am happy. However recently came across the "Stamina 1690 Power Tower" that is less than half the prices and seems decent. Do check that out before making a decision.
