Far Cheaper than a curl bar

Overall this is a good product id recommend, I got it for 160 but I dont think I'd pay more than that.The Good- it is compact and looks very clean, the design is appealing and the foam cushion on the bar is just thick enough to not be a hindrance. Ive never had adjustable dumbbells before so being able to drop weight was nice, plus I took the plates on a nice ruck and they fit in my backpack well. It is also available in a time where workout equipment is overpriced and scarce.The Minor Bad Flaws-There is black paint on the side of the plates and after a month or so ive rubbed some spots clean with my outer knuckles.The dumbbell handles do not appear to be locked in place, but appear that they can be twisted on their individual metal bars. This hasn't been a problem yet, but if you took this thing apart every day I could definitely see the wear causing it to spin more out of place.The Big bad-This thing is a pain to put together and take apart, I dont use the dumbbell functions anymore as I have my own. Attaching the first dumbell to the center bar is easy, attaching the second is a much harder task. I'm pretty strong, screwing the second in requires you to hold it perfectly level and screw it in for about 30 seconds before it catches. You wouldn't think this would be that bad but there's no way to do this that isn't incredibly awkward, and twisting a 33 pound dumbell around while also holding it up one handed puts alot of strain on your wrist. I essentially leave the inside plates loaded, and load and unload the outside plates as needed. I think this is more a design flaw than anything and could be fixed by someone smarter than I.Overall its a good, clean looking product, if you're looking for 70lb barbell to do curls and bench with since the gyms are closed this is a good fit for you. You won't find a cheaper option thats actually of good build quality, at least I couldn't.
