I had a version of this pull up bar that is made from actual steel/iron and it was solid... i bought it in 2008 and used it regularly for ~10 years before all the foam started to peel away. So i bought this thinking it was the same thing but sold from a different manufacturer. NOPE!. This pull up bar is made from cheap aluminum and the construction is terrible. In short, this is cheaply made Chinese garbage! I would not accept this as a free gift.
1. the bars are made from cheap aluminum, it bends and flexes when you're doing pull ups. it bowed permanently down the middle after only doing a 10 rep set. I ONLY WEIGH 160lbs...i would not even want to try this product if I weight over 200lbs. This is a serious injury risk and not even sure how/why it's allowed to be sold on the market.
2. The twist and lock slot/dimples in the middle of the bar were misaligned and i had to pound it on the floor to force it in to the point where the dimples aligned with the slot so i could twist lock it.
3. the square slot holes in the aluminum tube STRIPPED as i was attempting to tighten the bolts.
4. the cheap garbage wrench they provide isn't even the correct size for the nuts. i had to go get my own wrench.
I simply cannot believe all the positive reviews.... they must have switched the material from metal to soft and cheap aluminum at some point because the quality of this pull up bar is about as shoddy as it gets. I didn't even know it was possible to get such a simple design so wrong. Buyer beware!
