Affordable dumbbell
These are the cheapest adjustable dumbbells I could find. The one I bought ranges from 10 lb to 50 lb, but you could do half-way increments 15, 25, 35, and 45 if you select one side to be higher than the other. This will give you an imbalanced dumbbell. At least the option is there if balance doesn't matter much for the specific exercise. The weights jostle slightly when in use, and I'm a bit concerned about accidentally pulling the tab during exercise and dropping a plate. This product does not have a "dock lock" where the dumbbell needs to be docked to unlock the weights. So far, my workaround has been to rotate the dumbbell such that the pull tabs face away from the body and clothing such that it's highly improbable to accidentally loosen a plate. The plates are lubricated, and I assume you'll need to apply lubrication if sliding becomes stiff at some point. Packaging used styrofoam and seems adequate. Overall I'm happy with this product.
