How can you go wrong with this one. These things work great for those that need to increase in small increments during their workout routine. My only regret is that I didn't come up with this idea or I'd be a billionaire. Platemates must surely be enforcing their patent on these rascals because it appears that they are the only company making these things (do a google search). Unfortunately, it seems with that monopoly comes a ridiculous price tag for a little bit of metal and magnets. Which by the way are super strong. You're gonna get a workout just pulling them apart once you get them out of the box. So, in summary: Great product. Very useful. Ridiculous cost for something so small and seemingly easy to construct. ( I thought I was getting two pair for the price I paid. Only in America. ) Thanks for reading.

Despite what the description claims, these do not fit on olympic bars. A good idea, but why is the hole half an inch too small?

I lift weights at a moderate level and couldn't jump from 25lb. dumbells to 30. I bought these as a nice alternative and find them very helpful. I use them on the adjustable dumbbells I have as well as the singles, and they are heavy duty magnets so I don't worry that they will slide around or fall off. They also are not too large that they get in the way of my lifting.
