Review on Quick Release 1 Inch Barbell Clamps - Locking Collar Clips For Standard Bar Weight Plates - Ideal For Fitness Training, Weightlifting, And Bodybuilding By Greententljs by Madansaireddy Aldridge

So as like a lot of people during the COVID 19 pandemic I was forced out of my gym and into my basement. I had a few sets of old 1" dumbbells and weights that I blew the dust off of. These dumbbell bars the the small 1" style with the threaded ends. I think a lot of people probably have these. They worked well for a little while, but the inside ring started slipping. Real pain in the rear. So I knocked the rings off completely and bought these.So they work well as described. Very easy to take on and off, problem is that they do not hold tight enough for heavy weight. They constantly slide, kind of dangerous on the bench. If you are using anything heavier than 10lbs plate on each end, so 25 lbs dumbbells, you will probably notice the clamps sliding. I still use them, but I put them on the inside next to my hands so that at least the plates wont potentially crush my face when benching. Rather a pinched finger than broken nose. I don't think this is a flaw with the brand, just the fact that not 1" clamp probably has the grip strength of a Olympic plate clamp.
