Product Description

Product Description

With soft, foam padded bars, fingernail-friendly plates and Snap Collars, Danskin's adjustable dumbbell set is designed to make strength training more enjoyable. Unlike men’s bars, which have rough grips, Danskin's bars have a durable foam padding that protects skin and prevents calluses. In addition, the shape of the weight plates prevents pinched fingers or broken nails while the colorful, contoured plates are easy to pick up with one hand. Changing weight plates is effortless with Danskin's easy-to-use Snap Collars.

I bought this set to work out with while toning at home. I am a member of a gym and just wanted something that I could handle easily at home. I'm very pleased with the purchase. The plates are easy to change, well labeled, color coordinated and the bars are cushioned. The set also comes with an exercise chart which gives some baisc exercises for the muscle groups (arms, legs, abs, back etc) and a few simple common sense tips on staying fit and healthy. The only disappointment is that the plates are a bit wobbly, but it's not a major disturbance. I really recomend this set, especially for beginers.

I bought these because I was looking for free weights and they showed up in my gold box. I'm glad I did. The padded bars are very comfortable and it is very easy to change the weights. The weights are a little wobbly, but it doesn't bother me at all. The packaging is more problematic as some of the weights are not wrapped in plastic and the styrofoam shipping material seems to have fused with the coating on the weights and had to be claened off. However, that same coating makes the weights very quiet to use, despite any wobbliness.

The exercise chart that comes with the set is handy for a basic routine, but some of the exercises will require a bench. Overall, a good value.

... was very very good. These dumbells provide so many different options. And everything that is stated in the description...the easy snap, nice, soft grip, and the easy to handle weight plates...all true!
