This 52.5 lb single dumbbell setup is without a doubt one of the best deals I’ve ever found on Amazon. While most iron free-weights sell for around $2/pound (as of the fall of 2022), this set is much more affordable,The price for it does seem to vary wildly day by day. I paid $77 in October 2022 and see that a month later, it is selling for $65. But I’m not complaining since it’s a steal at either price.I bought 2 sets so I’d have a pair of dumbbells.The dumbbell bars and threaded, star-shaped end nuts are nicely made. The chrome coating seems thick and durable. And because the threaded nuts have black rubber washers on the side that makes contact with the weight plates, they tighten securely and stay firmly in place when in use. Other sets I’ve used did not have the rubber washer and as a result, would loosen up while doing reps. That’s both annoying and dangerousThe rubber washers do tend to fall off when removing the nuts from the dumbbell, but that is easily rectified by putting a few drops of superglue in the groove in the nut into which the rubber washer sits.The weight plates themselves are a little less precisely made. For instance, I weighed my 5 lb plates on a postal scale and discovered they range anywhere from 4.75 lbs to 5.25 lbs. That’s not a big deal most of the time but you can definitely notice an imbalance if you inadvertently end up with 8 of the heavier 5 lb plates on one hand and 8 of the lighter plates on the other.To avoid that from happening, I used a silver Sharpie to mark the plate that are over 5 lbs and keep them in a separate pile so I can distribute the weight more evenly into the bars.Also, while the clear-coat on the plates seems heavy duty enough, you do need to check for rough edges. That goes for the dumbbell bars too. I had to file down a couple of spots to avoid getting metal splinters in my hands.Last but not least, the dumbbells I received have a diameter of 1.18 inches (or 30mm) and the weight plates have holes that size. This means any plates you may already have with 1 inch (25mm) holes will not fit onto these bars. Likewise, while the plates from this set will easily go onto a 1 inch bar, they can flop around a bit. In practice the latter is not a problem as long as you can tighten down the bar-end clamps. I use my 30mm plates on a 25mm curl bar without issue.In short, while there may be some compromises involved, at these prices, this dumbbell set is one of the best deals out there.Follow up note written on April 11, 2023:I’ve been using my weight set several times a week for about 6 months now and all parts are holding up great!

First of all, let's get the smell part clear. Yes, it smells. It smells similar to the stuff you find in the tire/automotive aisles at Target/WalMart/other stores. Yes, it can be a bit strong. Let it air for a day and put a dryer sheet in the case when you close it. Problem solved. If you're picky on having your home smell like candles or something, these are not for you. If you don't even notice the smell of a gym when you're in a gym (or aren't the quickest to pick up on smells), then you're fine. Also, I think it's the box that smells, not any of the paint.Pros:*It is easy to add/remove weights. Just unscrew the collars, remove/add weights, screw collars back in. You can do this while resting in less than a minute.*You can add your own weights. When you outgrow these, you can add your own weights (doesn't have to be the same brand). Any generic 1" weight will do.*When I bought these, they were awesome for $40. Under $1/pound if you count the different combinations of weights you can do and that you can add more later.*Cheap compared to buying individually.Cons:*Slight bump in one of the corners of the case. No big deal. Contents inside are fine. Just an aesthetic issue.*Smell. As addressed above, it can be a bit overpowering, but just take the time to let them air out. Some people also do fine by rinsing them.*They're not neoprene.Notes & Thoughts:*A lot of people complain about the default California warning added to this set. Seriously, California is overprotective. Drinking dozens of gallons of water is known to cause death. If ingested, gasoline can destroy your organs. Too much sun can give you cancer. They have these warnings on a ton of things for sale in California. Something containing nickel, for example, automatically gets this warning. If it were more serious, more states or the entire country would place a warning or they would be getting sued for giving people cancer (it's not like lawyers are exactly shy).*The handles may be a bit too textured for some people, especially those with delicate hands or buying more weights. In that case, maybe you should buy weight-lifting gloves. For those who don't mind getting scuffed by sand or falling hands-first on pavement, you're fine. If anything, I shift my hands around on the bar which varies up my routine a bit.*People say it's a good starter set. I just started a serious workout routine and have had this for a month. I see myself having this for years.*A few have complained that the weights aren't exact. The bar doesn't seem like 5 pounds, but when I weight myself with one of my 20 lb. dumbbells, I see my weight increase by 19.8 or 20 (my scale goes in intervals of 0.2). It's close enough for me. I don't need it to be that exact.*Mine didn't seem to have any loose seal rings or collars. They seem good for the price. They may shift a small amount after a 30 minute workout to where you can hear a slight clunk. Just retighten them.

bought the CAP Barbell Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Set for my teenage son, and it’s been a solid addition to his fitness routine. The adjustable design is perfect for beginners—it lets him start with lighter weights and gradually increase as he builds strength. The plates are easy to swap out, and the included case keeps everything organized and portable.The build quality is decent, though the spin-lock collars require a bit of extra tightening to keep the plates secure during a workout. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to keep an eye on.For the price, this set offers excellent versatility and value. It’s sturdy enough for a home gym, and my son loves having the freedom to customize his workouts. A great buy overall, though a slight improvement to the locking mechanism would make it perfect. Still, highly recommended for beginners!

Están hechas de Buenos materiales, y son “bonitas†(tanto como unas pesas pueden llegar a ser). El mecanismo de cerrado es firme, aunque hay que apretarlo bien, de lo contrario se puede ir abriendo al hacer uso de las pesas, lo que es muy incómodo.Una buena adición para el gimnasio o la casa.

A bit over priced, but its a supply/demand thing, and the local shelves were bare.Delivery was not great...most likely all because of Canada Post, but eventually product arrived.

With the city of Montreal closing down on gyms....yet again, I needed to build a home gym asap. My local shops had every gym equipment sold out, so I decided to search on Amazon for adjustable dumbbells....I got exactly what I wanted and needed, but what impressed me the most was how fast I got it. I highly recommend you buy them.

Well if you look at the description at all you will know that the 40 pound's that comes with this deal 10 pounds is from the adjustable bar's and i was okay with that because i plan on buying a lot more weight's for my dumbbells and getting a curl bar and a barbell and getting my collection back together and these adjustable dumbbells have a lot of potential with how much weight you can stack on there and here is a warning the threaded caps the rubber piece on the threaded caps often will come off and be stuck to a weight and i think this pair of dumbbells is great you can work any part of your body with a nice dumbbells and all i do with these is stacking all the weights onto one and using it for 1 arm at a time you can do chest flies and really feel the weight and im content with these weights and just a few weeks ago i use to have a bigger set up with a lot more weights they have potential and also my lady has even started using these -Zachary

Excelente producto, están súper prácticas y muy resistentes. Lo único es que la barra tiene como piquitos muy pequeñitos (yo creo para que no se resbale) y le lastima un poco las manos, pero con mis guantes de ejercicio se elimina el problema. Valen mucha la pena sobre todos para el precio.
