2.0 out of 5 stars Good bar but brackets are poorly designed, February 14, 2011

This review is from: 3 in 1 Chin-Up + Push-Up + Sit-Up Bar (Sports)

The pull-up bar itself is designed well; however, the brackets are not. This bar comes with two removable grips and four identical brackets with screws. I would recommend using longer screws than the ones provided to mount the brackets.

Pros:
1) Strong bar and once in the brackets, very sturdy

2) Removable grips (can wash them when they get dirty or just remove them and not use them at all)

Cons:
1) The brackets are way too wide to fit in a standard door frame. The width of the bracket is 2-3/8" but don't forget to leave room for the locking mechanisms that stick out which adds another 1/4". So it is basically a 2-5/8" wide bracket. Go measure where you plan on installing it. Is it at least 2-5/8" wide? I doubt it. And 2-5/8" is even cutting it close since you will need room for your fingers to manipulate the locking mechanisms. If you have a doorway with no door and you don't need to worry about the brackets blocking a closing door, the bar may work since the holes for the brackets are drilled 1" apart on center and the standard width for the center part of a door frame is 1-3/8".

2) The locking mechanism is great for sit-ups so the bar doesn't rise up out of the brackets. However, it is very difficult to rotate the locking mechanisms to remove the bar from the brackets when they are mounted above your head for pull-ups. They should have one set of brackets without the locking mechanisms to use for pull-ups. If you plan on taking this bar down frequently, you may get a better workout trying to get the bar down than you did doing the pull-ups.

I gave a rating of 2 stars instead of 1 because the bar is sturdy and the brackets are acceptable if you somehow could find a way to mount them. So, before you order please measure to see if you have the room for the brackets.

I returned my order and it was the first time ever returning anything out of literally 1000's of purchases from Amazon. I love Amazon even more now since the return was seamless and shipping was paid for.

I could not install this bar on any of my doors as the bracket is too big. Only 3 out of 5 screws can be used. So the bracket extends further and does not look good.

Fantastic bar and its very sturdy, comes with four brackets so you can install two levels. I launch myself up this thing and don't even feel it bending, however the lock in system might rattle a litle bit if you go to fast but it is definitely secure.
