They're awesome! I had a after-order-fear that I couldn't adjust the opening on these clamps to slide over the barbell that I use. The one I use allows you to spiral the original collars on until their tight, which is exactly the time-consuming chore that I wanted to avoid. But, they're adjustable; you just spin the clamp attachment until the opening expands or contracts. Not bad and very useful! Read more

Easy to put on but fiddle to get tightened properly. I tried the smallest gasket first and that worked perfectly as that clamp easily tightened on to my 1 inch barbell. On the other side I had trouble getting the clamp to tighten properly. Using the next size of gasket was even worse. I went back to the smallest gasket and I got the clamp tightened but the clamp is at a slight angle is not parallel to the weight plate. If I try to make it parallel like the other one I can't get the clamp hand tightened or else it's too loose. Others have reported that the clamp my break and I did not want to force it. It holds the plate to the bar even if it is not properly parallel to the clamp when tightened. Read more
Cheap plastic parts. The plastic screw making up the clamp snapped on first use. Wear a helmet if you're doing any lifting over your head. Update: Vendor issued a refund, so credit to them for that. The threads per inch on the screw are too low, so to get the handle where you need it to stay in place has a good chance to either put not enough force on the clamp and it doesn't work, or too much and the parts snap. Item would be better if made with better design and parts. Read more
All parts are plastic save the spring. Works reasonably well. The screw is coarse thread so is hard to get just the right tightness. It was tight enough and will probably work ok. But if the handle flipped up the weight could come off and I was afraid the weight would hit my foot. I was using on dumbbells. I returned. Amazon is great. Read more
