Working out 3-4 hours a day and changing weight plates 50+ times a workout, you spend a lot of time just changing plates. I already utilize two different barbells to save time, but needed some thing more. I began to think about the collars holding the plates in place. Yeah, I already skip them whenever I can (lighter sets and single plate sets), but there are times having a collar on the bar is necessary (like in dealing with a muscle imbalance, deadlifts, and/or pushing to failure where the smallest shift in weight can be the difference between success and failure).So, I began to research and try different types of retaining collars. Most were slower, despite their claims to be quick and easy. But these have been great. The T-handle design literally keeps the collar “at hand†when changing plates. The magnets allow for quickly putting them I. An out of the way place for the times you need both hands. And the snap on / pull off method is so much quicker for me than having to slide the collar all the way off the bar.The only small issue I had, was the magnet strength. It’s just strong enough to attach the collar to a metal rack, but if you hit or bang the rack hard, sometimes they fall off. But that can be planned for once you know which times that may happen. Anyway, saving me 5-10 minutes a day is a game change over the course of a year. Heck, that’s enough time to add a couple more sets in each day!Please note - I’m not doing CrossFit, nor do I just drop my weights to the ground(at least not on purpose). Those activities would have a tendency to jar the colors loose.

Always looking for new speed collars for my home gym that won't easily break if they get dropped. These intrigued me so I gave them a shot. Less moving parts = less opportunity for failure; these have no moving parts and thr seem very sturdy. I was worried maybe they would hold up to deadlifts, but, so far-so good!!

First off, I want to say that I'm not burning these collars at the stake. This is lieterally my first time trying them and I'll admit that yeah, they hold the plates on the bar very well. The magnet is pretty weak. I don't see them doing much except keeping it close to the plate. But the grip the collar has on the bar itself is amazing. The plates don't shift AT ALL after you've loaded them on. That's a win in my book.Now on to the bad. I saw in the trailer that promotes this showing it can hold 2 or 3 (I forgot) plates without sliding down when stood upright. I noticed the owner using bumper or rubber plates when doing this. That didn't assure me very much. So when I got them I tried them on steel plates. As you can see in my photo, I'm using Cap steel plates. ONE PLATE will hold up to that particular test, BUT NOT TWO!!!!As soon as I tried with 2 plates, it slid right down almost as if the collar wasn't even there. I should point out that THE COLLAR DID NOT FALL OFF. It's still holding onto the bar. But it did slide down to the end very easily.Maybe that's a feature left in rather than a defect, just in case you're pinned down and need to do an emergency dump of the weights to break free. If so, I'm ok with that. I still like these collars and will absolutely use them during my lifts.Thanks. Hope this review helps.

I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner. This is an awesome product that speeds up your lifting sessions and so easy to use. It actually can be helpful during times of emergency when you need to have your weight fall off, if you know what I mean. Fits perfect for even 1.75 and holds extremely well

This product is not as easy to put on or off of the barbell as it was in the video demonstration. Maybe is is the slight variation in the bar sizes.

These collars do what they promise: they allow much faster plate changes and the grip on the bar is tight enough to hold everything in place. The magnets make storage a breeze if you're using a rack.The trade-off is that the grip is not as tight as traditional clip-on collars. I use them for dumbbell pressing and for arm work, but I wouldn't choose them when lifting heavy overhead or for any kind of dynamic/speed work. I dropped them once using a heavy dumbbell and they stayed on, but I wouldn't recommend it.Love them and will be buying another pair.

NGL, the simplicity of the design had me sold on these... they feel like great quality long-lasting cuffs but they are so easy to move once their on the bar... by the end of my sets they had moved more than enough for the weights to jiggle around... so i just returned them... shame, it's a pretty good idea otherwise

I bought these because I can never find them in the gym I go to. These don’t look like the standard collars and are easy to use and really grip the bar. One side is magnetic to park on the rack when changing plates. Highly recommend them.
