5.0 out of 5 stars
Solid, well built, nice quality, April 2, 2010
This review is from: Cap Barbell Grip Plate Weight Set with Threaded Bar (1-Inch/150 Pound) (Sports)
This set is solidly built, and it has a quality feel. Rubber washers are provided for the collar and the bar (one on each side of the weight stack) so the weights stay relatively tight once you screw the collars on (unlike some other screw-on collar sets out there). The knurling on the bar is about right, not too rough, but provides a good grip. (I've used some bars in the past that are cheaply machined and really chew up your hands - not a problem with this set) I also use the 1" plates from this set on my Curl and Super Curl Bars - not much too report there, they work! Overall I am please with the quality and appearance of this set and would recommend it.

Worth it's Weight in Weights., October 5, 2011
This review is from: Cap Barbell Grip Plate Weight Set with Threaded Bar (1-Inch/150 Pound) (Sports)
Less than a dollar a pound? AND a threaded bar? AND FREE Shipping? You will not beat this value. I've looked high and low for a weight set with a bar and this is by far the best value going. I'm going to buy another set just ot have the extra weights. Chipped paint? Who cares? (Mine aren't chipped, btw.) It still weighs the same and I'm much less worried about how they look and more worried about how I look. I love the threaded bar. I've never had one before. I've always had those little clips, which are fine too. But for me, it's well worth a few seconds of threading to not have the weights spinning on the bar while lifting. I love that. They don't move at all. This set is high-quality and high-value. For a standard size weight set, you'll do no better.

Great Value, June 25, 2010
This review is from: Cap Barbell Grip Plate Weight Set with Threaded Bar (1-Inch/150 Pound) (Sports)
I'm so happy with this purchase. It is great quality, especially considering the price. The bar is sturdy and well made. The endcaps are easy to take on and off but stay put during use so there's no worry about a weight falling off. The plates offer a good variety of weights and I like the holes around the edges because it makes it easy to pick them up. I purchased a few 2.5 pound weights to round out my collection and now I have everything I need for now and for many years to come. Highly recommended.
