Solid Product, If You Have a Solid Place to Fit It
Set up yesterday & used this morning. PROs: Loving it so far. Admittedly, only time will tell if the space I have available for it will withstand the pressure, but it's not the product's fault that my walls aren't optimal. I tightened the bar as much as I was comfortable w/ & it's holding up great! The instructions suggest putting paper between the grip & the wall when you're mountimg it over paint, which I though was very thoughtful--no slipping Haven't tried any other pressure-fit bar like this, but I can't imagine getting away w/ setting one up on my softer walls w/out the secondary support bars to reduce the need for cranking the bar itself more tightly. Huge help w/ distributing the pressure & increasing the friction surface area. CON Not a huge fan of the locking screw caps being plastic. I don't think the parts the prevent the bar from rotating should be of such a relatively fragile material. Although maybe it's a very durable plastic? Time will tell, & I hope it will be. Also, the padded grip area of the bar, is a bit wider than my own shoulders. Not really a flaw, as it's absolutely necessary for maximaxing the places this bar can fit. However, I'd recommend measuring out the bars grip width to see if it's a good width for the exercises you want to do. CONCLUSION For me, it's perfect. I'm just looking to learn basic pull up form & strength in a small, calisthenics home gym. Product is solid so far. If I have any issues related to the product itself (and not my faulty placement of it, per the included instructions) I'll update this review. Read more
